The Digital Telescope Eyepiece DCT-510 is an inexpensive way to upgrade just about any telescope into a digital telescope. What is a digital telescope ? It is a telescope adapted with a digital camera especially designed for telescopes. DCT-510 (USB 2.0) is an excellent solution and offers live image of 2592 x 1944 pixels. DCT-510 is a digital camera professionally designed for telescopes. It works perfectly with any kind of optical telescopes. The images of the observed items can be genuinely displayed on computer screen. The powerful advanced software ToupSky included with the camera ensures simple and convenient operation on the images captured from telescope.

Specifications:

  • DCT-510 (USB 2.0) employs newly designed optical system of fully coated, based on MTF (modulation Transfer Function) analysis, for improved image flatness and contrast. The images are brighter and distinct even at the periphery of the field of view. It offers excellent performance when combined with plan-achromatic objective system. Especially, this system is designed for telescope and matches the telescope features, such as the field of view of eyepiece WF10X-18mm and the parfocalization of objectives.
  • DCT-510 (USB 2.0) has a wide field, which matches telescope’s field of view 18mm.
  • For any observation head of telescope, i.e. monocular head, binocular head or trinocular head, DCT-510 (USB 2.0) can be inserted directly into the ocular-tube or the photo-tube. The operation is so simple that it can works perfectly with all kinds of telescopes.
  • Based on the consideration of the color temperature of telescopes illumination, the design makes it offer very good color fidelity. The image is available with excellent true color.
  • If the telescope is adapted with DCT-510 (USB 2.0) is earthed definitely, the metal body of the camera ensures wonderful anti-interference.
