Orion StarShoot DS Monochrome Imager III.

A "low-cost" camera for achieving "high-end" results!
Monochrome imaging chip and deluxe features add to your imaging potential
The perfect camera for deep-sky "tri-color" imaging through LRGB filters
You can even image in light-polluted skies with Extra Narrowband H-alpha, S-II and O-III
filters!
Thermoelectric cooling (TEC) and on-board cooling fan reduce the CCD temperature to 30?C
below ambient for smooth, low-noise images.

While digital photography has revolutionized the way we capture images these days, some
photographic concepts have never changed. When it comes to producing the very best astro-
images, most astrophotographers will readily acknowledge that you must compose shots
taken with a monochrome camera, through separate LRGB filters. This yields greater
flexibility in the digital darkroom. The new StarShoot Deep Space Monochrome Imager III will
put you on the cutting edge of imaging technology, using the same "tri-color" photo
processing technique employed by professional astronomers the world over. The composites
you take will combine to reveal previously unnoticed details in deep-sky objects and other
celestial phenomena!

What's more, the new Deep Space Monochrome Imager III, designed for intermediate and
avid astronomers, utilizes the highly acclaimed 2/3" format Sony ICX285AL CCD with an
impressive 1360x1024 pixel array. This impressive imaging chip provides high sensitivity and
resolution, and yields superior color rendition when used with LRGB filters. The monochrome
camera also excels for narrowband tri-color imaging with specialized filters such as
Hydrogen-alpha, Sulfur-II, and Oxygen-III.

Like all of our deep space imaging cameras, the DSMI III utilizes Thermoelectric Cooling
(TEC) - a feature not always offered by the competition - which dramatically reduces
electronic noise for better-quality images. The TEC efficiency is further enhanced by an
integrated cooling fan and aluminum heat sink camera body. Fan speed is adjustable and
there's an optional TEC shutoff for severe outdoor conditions. The included MaxIm DL
Essentials v2.04 software provides an easy interface for focusing, capturing, dual camera
control for imaging and autoguiding, batch processing, dark frame and flat field calibration,
image stacking, and more.

All power for the camera, TEC and fan is supplied by a single 12-volt DC connection. A 10'
power cable with cigarette lighter plug and a 10' USB cable are included. The DSMI III also
comes with a custom hard carrying case for safe transport.
