DslrLite is a low-cost - yet complete - computer-controlled software and hardware package for beginning or advanced DSLR camera astro-photographers.  DslrLite is an entry-level alternative to DslrStar - the standalone or computerized-controller - DSLR astrophotography system. 

DslrLite includes Windows software and RS232 serial cable that interfaces between Canon or Nikon DSLR camera BULB input and computer.  The basic DslrLite will work with Canon 300D, 350D or 400D.  The A611 bulb cable is necessary for Canon 5D,  10D, 20D/20Da or 30D; the A623 IR remote is needed for Nikon D50, D70, D70s or  D80.

Interfacing to a digital single-lens-reflex camera mounted to a telescope, the DslrLite allows the user to set an unlimited number of exposure sequences. Image FITS files may be stored to the computer hard disk; JPEG or RAW images to the camera memory card.  DslrLite features include focus mode, sequences,  FITS file manipulation or photo format conversion (jpeg, tiff, etc.).  Completed exposures are displayed on the computer monitor.
