The DSO images on astronomycameras.com look very similar in quality to images made using astrovideo. It's less than I expected...

DSLRs are also uncooled and have small CMOS pixels... So could a DMK theoretically equal a DSLR on DSO targets?

Seems reasonable ... I've managed to image 3 of Uranus's moons with DMK21 & 11" (that's going down to mag 15) with only a few seconds exposure. To get a reasonable S/N you'd just need lots of long exposures, plus proper calibration with bias & dark frames. But whether it's worth it or not is a different matter - fighting equipment that wasn't really designed for the job when optimised kit is easily available is a good way to get discouraged.

Still no pics on here from someone who has got one. Seen the ones on the DMK website but would like to see some from people here

What images you want to see?

[valleyman]

Any that have been taken with DMK from anybody here

Here's a lunar mosaic I did with my DMK and Skywatcher 250. It's a jpg from my iPhone so the quality isn't as good as the original...

Weather permitting, you can try my DMK (I've got a 21 and a 41) on your kit on Saturday if you want

80% of all the published images of the Sun in Ha are done with the DMK series camera....

[Helen]

Yep, mine was

For solar H-a it's PointGrey time at the moment. Primary for big solar scopes.

If it is good enough for you Helen, then i will HAVE to get one
