The brand new Celestron Skyris CCD cameras - for beginners and advanced imagers
For years now, The Imaging Source has been producing high-quality CCD cameras that allow astronomers to take their planetary photography from a simple hobby up to a more serious level. Working together with Celestron, The Imaging Source has now developed a new generation of astronomical CCD cameras: Skyris.
Each of the six new Skyris camera models is equally suitable for beginners or experienced planetary photographers. The sharp, high resolution images they allow will give you completely new insights into the Solar System. The quality electronics - including Sony CCD sensors and USB 3.0 ports - allows very short exposure times, essentially 'freezing' atmospheric turbulence. Their 12-bit dynamic range is superior to the simpler 8-bit planetary cameras; and the fine colour and brightness gradations available mean better reproduction. The camera housing with cooling fins, designed by Celestron, allows for improved heat dissipation, thus reducing image noise.
The Celestron iCap software included is a complete solution for capturing, filtering, aligning, and exporting your best images. Essential accessories, such a 1.25 inch metal eyepiece and a three meter long USB cable, are also included in delivery. An IR blocking filter is also available as an option.
The advantages of Skyris cameras in a nutshell:
- new and improved Sony CCD sensors
- USB 3.0 for higher frame rate
- 12-bit dynamic range for accurate colour and greyscale gradations
- new housing with cooling fins - improves heat dissipation and reduces noise
- new firmware and software, making it easier than ever to achieve excellent results
Intended use of the camera
- Mercury, Venus, Uranus and Neptune - good
- Mars, Jupiter and Saturn - not very good
- entire lunar disk - very good
- detail of lunar disk - very good
- entire solar disk - very good
- detail of solar disk - very good
Note: Only photograph the Sun using a special solar filter.
