Meade DSI-PRO Imager

[Aidi]

Good Evening,

I have just told of a Meade DSI-Pro Imager that a fellow astronomer has for sale. What sort of price should i be looking at to offer?

Should i even consider this of wait until i can get a II? I am relatively new, and photography is something i would like to start in the near future.

Any advice on would greatly be appreciated.

Pay about £100 or so.

They are a great introduction if you can get one at that price.

They are pretty basic....no cooling etc, but you can get good images, and will learn good imaging discipline from using one.

I started with one of these, so if you have any questions pm me.

Cheers

Thanks Rob. I am on a Az/Alt mount with my LX90 so imaging will be limiting, but as you said it will teach me the basics. I can then move onto something a little better with a wedge.

I started with mine on an LX200 on an alt/az mount and generally didn't go more than 21 seconds with exposures.

The great thing about short exposures though is that you can get loads of them!

Cheers

Down the track, you can use it as a guide camera when you buy the BIG AtiK!!!!!
