The Imaging Source: The Imaging Source Offers Chance To Win The
Ultimate Planetary, Lunar And Solar Telescope Camera
(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
RDATE:12082008
Charlotte, NC -- The Imaging Source, a multi-national manufacturer of
imaging hardware and software for astronomy, is now offering amateur
astro-photographers a fantastic chance to win one of their renowned
telescope cameras (DMK 21AU04.AS).
The DMK 21AU04.AS monochrome telescope camera has a resolution of
640x480, maximum exposure of up to 60 minutes and can capture up to 60
fps. Other monochrome and color models are available at resolutions of
1024x768 and 1280x960, with and without an IR cut filter. All telescope
cameras ship with either a USB 2.0 or FireWire connector and deploy low
noise CCD chips from Sony.
In "Sky & Telescope", Sean Walker wrote:
"The Imaging Source [CCD imager] is a well-designed, versatile camera
that is a natural progression for planetary astro-photographers looking
to upgrade from a consumer webcam. The camera control software IC
Capture.AS seems to be a mature program itself, complementing the
camera perfectly."
The winner of the competition will also receive a copy of the camera
control software "IC Capture.AS", with which all cameras parameters can
be set and singular images and sequences written to disk. The resulting
uncompressed AVI files can be loaded into RegiStax and similar software
for post-acquisition processing.
Getting started is simply a matter of connecting the telescope camera
to a PC, installing the shipped software and within minutes amateur
astronomers will be capturing images of the night sky.
To be in with a chance of winning, all interested parties have to do is
go to the following web site and answer one simple question. But they
should hurry as the competition closes on September 03, 2008!
