Value for money, published results and performance are what made me order my DMK.
Here is my journey through the realms of Lunar and Planetary imaging:
- Meade LPI - $199 (including comprehensive software suite).
- Philips ToUcam - $159
Current purchase:
- Imaging Source DMK - $610
Next steps?
- Lazzaroti camera - ? $750 (guess)
- SkyNix camera - $1200
Each camera is a step up in either technology (CCD vs. CMOS), less noisy design/circuitry, faster uncompressed frame rates, etc. The DMK sits in a sweet spot of affordability and good performance.
Cheers
