LODESTAR PRO COLOUR

Starlight Xpress

Capture night-sky images or guide your mount through long exposures for pinpoint image accuracy with the color Lodestar PRO Autoguider & Imaging Camera from Starlight Xpress. The CCD camera employs the Sony ICX829AK sensor, with considerably improved QE from earlier models and typical readout noise of 8 electrons. This Exview 2 chip approximately doubles the original Lodestar's sensitivity and adds nearly a full star magnitude to the minimum guide star brightness.The camera fits common 1.25" focusers and guide scopes, and comes with an output cable for ST4 sockets on mounts. It has a 25.4 x 0.75mm filter thread. A mini-USB style USB2 port is provided for power and control.
