Dominique Dierick is an avid astro-photographer, who deploys The Imaging Source FireWire cameras for some of his work.
On his beautifully illustrated web site, he writes:
On the high resolution front, since I discovered DMK industrial cameras in 2005, I don't look back. They offer again a perfect balance of cost and functionality.
Most of Dominique's images are taken in Ghent, Belgium from the balcony of his apartment on the fourth floor. Dominique states that a busy railway station is very close to his apartment. This causes serious light pollution and strong vibrations to the telescopes.
Regardless, he still is able to capture some astounding images. Below are some samples of his work.
