Prof. John W. Berryman Now Works At The Imaging Source
Prof. John W. Berryman comes to AstronomyCameras.com and The Imaging Source with 15 years of science education experience. His graduate work at Oak Ridge National Laboratories focused on electron-electron interactions in field of experimental atomic physics. As a member of the American Association of Physics Teachers, the American Physical Society, and the National Association of Rocketry, Mr. Berryman participates regularly in undergraduate science teaching reform projects in astronomy, engineering, and physics.
During the last 15 years Profjohn has developed curriculum in, and taught at, the primary, the secondary, and the post-secondary levels of science education. He has served as a National Representative in Physics Education Reform, as a community college representative in Engineering Education articulation, and as the founder and director of two science education outreach programs in amateur rocketry and solar astronomy targeted at K-12 students and teachers.
RocketShop has grown into an outreach program that spans all facets of rocketry up through the high-powered rocket building class taught to college faculty and staff at Cape Kennedy. The EclipseLive Outreach Program involves K-12 teachers and students from around the globe. For the past eight years, profjohn has sent faculty and students to international locations to record and webcast eclipse events. Each eclipse lesson includes a K-12 teacher and their school, as well as, a K-12 school in the country visited. The two most recent programs to Santa Clara, Panama and Side, Turkey were featured on MSNBC.
Along with his duties as the Sales Engineer at AstronomyCameras.com, he is currently developing and implementing on-line astronomy courses for the NC Middle School Cohort Group, as well as, teaching Observational Astronomy Laboratories at Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina.

Hi - wanted to compliment you on this wonderful forum. I’ve been using DMK cameras for several years to image the Moon - check out my gallery at:

I’ve also used my DMK camera as a guide camera for long exposure imaging with my CCD camera. Its been a real work horse!

Hello Michael
Thank you for your photos and kind comments about our blog (what you call “forum”).
With this blog, it is our goal to bring together all customers of our astronomy cameras and to publish useful information for those deploying our products.
We gladly link to photo albums that showcase the work of astro-photographers or to individuals who offer additional services for our cameras (such as write software, offer advice etc.)
Furthermore, it is our intention to use this blog in the future to announce technical developments in our series of astronomy cameras.
We hope that this blog will become the central pillar of The Imaging Source astronomy cameras community.

This camera is for real. Having observed the camera at the Mid-Atlantic Star Party, I am convinced that the ImagingSource has developed an exceptional camera that will deliver what it claims. Based on a simple but well founded principle that you get what you pay for is true here. The camera is worth every penny. Although the initial production using a fire wire was well founded since the fire wire provides a more stable movement of data, the introduction of the USB version will provide that extra push to provide an exceptional camera with a great dynamic range to the observing public. the refresh rate of 60 fps allows a lot of flexibility is stacking images. the developers of the ImagingSource Astronomy Camera should take the time to pat themselves on the back. they deserve it.

I think this kind of camera have a lot of performance in planetary imaging (I used in deep too).
Check out my gallery, planetary section, to see some images in high resolution of Mars, Jupiter and Vesta (published on S&T).
Best regards, Antonello
