As a broadcast video engineer by profession, I was keenly interested in giving Orion’s StarShoot Deep Space Video Camera a shakedown cruise. And as a longtime amateur astronomer who’s played host at many public viewing sessions, I couldn’t wait to target my favorite bright deep-sky and solar system subjects to bring their images up live on a high-resolution television monitor.

Finally, from an astroimager’s standpoint, I was excited about the photographic capability of this camera. I knew I’d have a chance to produce some shots through it on a steady night.
