Welcome to a new world of adventure. Your new StarShoot Deep 
Space Video Camera (DSVC) is capable of providing pleasing real-
time color views of the 110 Messier objects, as well as many other 
bright galaxies, star clusters and Nebulas. The Planets, Moon, and 
Sun (with full-aperture solar filter) can all be imaged. Create spec-
tacular views on your display device which can be saved for emailing 
or printing later. The DSVC can even be used during the day to take 
images of terrestrial subjects. You’ll find that this inexpensive, yet 
capable and easy to use, camera will enhance all of your journeys 
with your telescope.
Please read this instruction manual before attempting to use the 
camera or install the software.
