Meade Deep Sky Imager II PRO (with AutoStar Suite Software) with RGB Filter Set for All Meade Telescopes with Autostar II or #497 Autostar Computer Controllers

Meade has improved upon the the original Deep Sky Imager PRO with this Deep Sky Imager PRO II version.  Using the software package included, you'll be able to hook up your telescope to your PC, direct your scope with a single mouse click, and watch the confluence of computerized star charts with live electronic imagery.

Attaching the device is as simple as inserting an eyepiece, and this can be used (without incorporating the software package) on any telescope which uses 1.25" eyepieces.  The imager contains a color CCD sensor from Sony which has fine 752 x 582 pixel resolution, and it has magnification similar to a 6mm eyepiece.  You'll be able to capture imagery of deep-space objects such as nebulae with remarkably good clarity.

The Autostar Suite software package contains every imaginable capacity for both guiding your scope electronically and documenting what you're seeing with stunning accuracy. You'll be able to control your scope remotely over the internet!

To utilize the Autostar Suite software, you'll need any Meade telescope with either the Autostar II or #497 Autostar computerized controllers. This includes the LX200GPS line, ETX-90, ETX-105 & ETX-125 telescopes as well as the LX90 series.  You'll also need a USB port, at least 98 MB of RAM space upon your computer, a CD-ROM drive and a Windows 98 SE, ME, 2000 or XP operating system.

This model includes the red, green and blue filter set for a complete professional monochromatic CCD imaging set.
