I suspect that the DSI will not be as good as a DSLR or come anywhere near the more pricey CCD's.

The LPI is a good little camera, but the scale factor is what lets it down. I need to buy a 5x powermate to get the same size scale from the LPI as the Toucam. Still I have seen some great Saturn shots this year through the LPI.

Another factor that is in its favour is the versatility of the LPI, I use it to guide my scope while I am shooting deep sky shots. This is in part due to the software, a bit clunky, but at least it is designed for the LPI.

Just my take on things.
