In the video above, you’ll see that I’ve got the Meade DSI IV mono connected to a 5-position electronic filter wheel to capture images in LRGB through an Explore Scientific ED 102 telescope. You can see the Meade DSI IV mono as the primary imaging camera on a complete deep sky astrophotography rig in this video: This camera was generously loaned to me from Ontario Telescopes. The reason I have chosen to go with the Meade variation is simply because I was given an opportunity to test it and share information about it.
The mono version of this camera has several competitors using the same chip. The camera cooler ensures that the sensor does not produce added noise by warming up during a long exposure, and a monochrome sensor is better at collecting quality signal (light) than a color camera is. There is also a one-shot-color version of the DSI IV available, for those that prefer to capture images this way.Ī cooled monochrome astronomy camera is an efficient way to collect astrophotography images through LRGB filters to build an impressive color image. The thermoelectric cooling, and monochrome Panasonic 4/3” MN34230PLJ image sensor are what I value most in this camera. The Meade Deep Sky Imager (DSI) IV Mono is a dedicated astronomy camera featuring a cooled 16MP CMOS sensor.
