This article evaluates Meade's Deep Sky Imager astronomical camera. In 2003, Meade introduced the Lunar Planetary Imager (LPI). This easy-to- operate $150 CMOS camera (CMOS is the type of chip used -- a complementary metal oxide semiconductor) introduced a simpler form of astroimaging to those who previously had been overwhelmed. To fill the need for imaging deep-sky objects and to provide a camera capable of longer exposures, Meade recently introduced the Deep Sky Imager (DSI). Sound good? Here's a bonus: Its price tag is under $300. Following its winning formula with the LPI, Meade designed the DSI in a compact, lightweight aluminum case. The camera is controlled and powered by a single USB 2.0 computer connection, which eliminates the need for additional cords. The DSI comes with Meade's AutoStar Software Suite, which is the workhorse.
