Delve into the world of astrophotography with the Celestron NexImage 5MP Solar System Imager, an ideal tool for capturing high-resolution images of planets, the Moon, and the Sun with nearly any telescope. This powerful imager features a 5 Megapixel color sensor equipped with ON Semiconductor’s cutting-edge low-noise CMOS technology, significantly reducing image noise levels for clearer, crisper photos.

The NexImage 5 comes with specialized software that expertly filters through your video frames, selecting only those least affected by atmospheric turbulence. This results in a stack of the sharpest, clearest frames, which are then aligned to create a single, high-quality image. The software’s ability to discard fuzzy frames and focus on the best ones makes the NexImage 5 particularly effective in light-polluted areas. If you can spot a celestial body in the sky, you can capture it with stunning clarity using the NexImage 5.

Equipped with a 5 Megapixel color sensor, this imager boasts ON Semiconductor’s revolutionary low-noise CMOS imaging technology, which dramatically lowers image noise levels. The small pixel sizes enable sub arc-second planetary detail capture with most telescopes, ensuring detailed and vivid astronomical images.

You can view and capture live video directly on your computer. The accompanying software not only selects the best video frames for image clarity but also allows you to manually adjust various settings like gain, contrast, exposure time, frame rate, and color saturation via your PC. This level of control lets you tailor your imaging to match specific conditions and preferences.

The NexImage 5 is designed for versatility and ease of use, featuring a machined aluminum 1.25" adapter barrel with C-threads for a direct threaded connection to almost any telescope. It's also compatible with standard 1.25” eyepiece filters, and has an integrated IR-cut optical window, along with 2x2 and 4x4 binning capability in color. The progressive scan feature and a USB 2.0 cable inclusion make this imager a comprehensive solution for enthusiasts looking to step into the world of astroimaging.
