PRICE DROP NOW $600 - Peltier cooled Meade DSI III colour

Hi guys,

For sale is my modified meade DSI III colour, which has a custom made aluminium box for adjustable cooling of the TEC and the external fan. It also has a dessicant system, where dessicant is placed inside the small canister which works really great against any sort of dew. This system achieves an approximate temperature drop of about 20 C below ambient without the worry of dew. Its great for getting rid of noise, and has the same sony ccd chip that is found in more expensive ccd cameras. With these modifications it performs really nicely and darks are not an issue.

It comes with all the original accessories, CDROM, etc the only thing i dont have is the original box. Its in great condition and it can be easily converted back to its original condition if you wanted to. The TEC system is powered by a normal cigarette lighter plug and I have detailed instructions of the modifications that I will also include.

The Meade DSI III does not require the TEC to operate, it can work just as any normal DSI III so think of the TEC cooling as an added bonus that allows the camera to work at lower temperatures if required.

Also included is a Mogg Adapter and an Asahi Pentax 135mm f3.5 lens, this is a great combination for piggyback widefield imaging without the need for a telescope.

WAS - $850

NOW - $600

Cheers
Matt
