Capture high-resolution planetary, lunar and solar images!

  This innovative camera is easy enough for a beginner to use, but features one of the best CMOS sensors available for astroimaging. It is a one-shot color camera, allowing you to capture full-color images instantly. It is also compatible with any computerized telescope or a non-computerized telescope with a motor drive for tracking celestial objects.

  Combined with the included software package, NexImage Burst brings out tremendous detail and produces images rivaling those taken with astronomical cameras costing hundreds more. The software analyzes each frame of video, throws away the ones affected by atmospheric turbulence, and perfectly aligns the best frames. The result is a bright, clear astroimage with impressive detail.

The Aptina AR0132 CMOS sensor is the updated version of the popular MT9M034 sensor. It offers the perfect combination of speed, sensitivity, and value. The sensor has a peak Quantum Efficiency of 75%, very low noise, high dynamic range, and a frame rate of up to 35 FPS at full res and well over 100 FPS at 640 x 480 crop mode on a fast USB 2.0 connection.
