Renowned Astro-Photographer Reviews DMK 21AF04

Internationally renowned astro-photographer, Paul Haese had been using a competing product for his astro-photographic needs. His images were good, but he knew that he could do much better.

On seeing the spectacular results created by Christopher Go with The Imaging Source DMK 21AF04, Paul decided to tryout the same camera for his own astro-photography work.

On reviewing his DMK 21AF04 based rig, Paul writes:

The results have been staggering [...] I am very happy with its performance [...] It is fast, 30 fps means that in 10 seconds it has produced 300 frames [...] The detail seen during capture is better than anything I had ever seen [...]

Paul continues to talk about the shipped software and expresses his enthusiasm for the camera in the highest tones. He has posted an image of his rig and a sample image that he has captured with the DMK 21AF04.
