Step into the world of astrophotography with the Celestron NexImage 10MP Solar System Imager. This user-friendly color camera delivers live video for effortless focusing, making it an ideal choice for beginners in planetary imaging. Its 3856 x 2764-pixel array, featuring small pixels, captures high-resolution images of celestial bodies within our solar system.
The package includes Celestron's iCap software for efficient image capture and export. Additionally, it comes with RegiStax stacking software, an advanced tool that automatically selects the best images, aligns, and stacks them to produce clear and detailed planetary images.
The NexImage 10 is a significant leap in the NexImage series, being the first to utilize USB 3.0 SuperSpeed. This advancement allows for quick data transmission, enabling the camera to produce exceptionally clear and detailed planetary images. The camera's super small 1.67µm pixels are especially beneficial for smaller telescopes with shorter focal lengths, ensuring that even these setups can capture impressive planetary details. It stands out as one of the most value-packed, high-resolution USB 3 planetary imaging cameras available.
Designed for ease of use, the NexImage 10 comes with the same powerful software suite used in Celestron's premium Skyris cameras. To start imaging, simply point your telescope at the Moon or a planet, and record a video. The software will analyze each frame, discard any blurry images, and align the sharpest ones to produce a vibrant, detailed final image.
The NexImage 10 is an excellent choice for astroimaging enthusiasts, particularly those in light-polluted areas. If you can spot a planet in the sky, you can capture it with the NexImage 10. Plus, it's now compatible with Mac OS X, broadening its accessibility to a wider range of users.
