Latest update from Meade about Autostartsuite software 4.

Based on Nasa-developped-image-processing algoritm called Drizzle, the camera automatically stacks short exposures to create high resolution images that do not show the field rotation that occurs with an altazimuth mount.

Meade lauch a new version of its DSI called DSI 2. As I saw in Meade web site this new camera have new features like:
- a better cooling system
- a bigger sony CCD ship
