DEEPSKY ASTRONOMY SOFTWARE LAUNCHES DEEPSKY IMAGING SOFTWARE
Low Cost alternative to higher priced Imaging software

Deepsky Imaging is an easy to use image enhancement and video CCD capture
software for the Windows platform. Using the software you can capture images
from any video ccd camera outputting composite video or S-Video, such as the
Stellacam, Mallincam, and other WebCams. In addition, the software contains
many tools to enhance existing astronomical images and utilizes the
excellent pre-processing engine from the popular freeware application
Deepsky Stacker. By using this stacking engine, Deepsky Imaging simplifies
the capture and pre-processing necessary to get great images. One nice
feature available in Deepsky Imaging is the ability to capture raw video and
convert it to a tif image on the fly without having the user manually
