With the new Explore Scientific Deep Sky Astro camera you get a modern complete package for the comfortable shooting of astro photos and videos. Finally, an easy-to-use camera for capturing galaxies, star clusters, the moon and even planets with high resolution and very low sensor noise. Thanks to the fast USB 3.0 computer interface, all image data is transferred within a seconds. Long waiting times are now a thing of the past.
Simply connect the camera to your telescope using the T2 female thread (M42.0.75mm) or the supplied 2" (50.8mm) plug-in adapter and after installing the drivers and the included 'Explore Capture' recording and editing software, you are ready to take your Astro photos to the next level.
The Explore Capture Pro software included not only offers the basic functions required for image and video capture, but also many helpful special functions for image post-processing and camera setup. Functions such as live image display, exposure settings, white balance, dark image print, stacking, time-lapse recording and so much more can be configured separately.
The new Explore Deep Sky Camera has a highly sensitive and very low-noise Panasonic CMOS sensor which can also be cooled down to 40°C below ambient temperature by the two-stage thermoelectric cooling. In contrast to normal DSLR cameras, this guarantees much lower noise and fewer hot pixels in your shots. This results in images that are not only much sharper and more brilliant, but also contain more usable image information.
The camera has a built-in USB hub with 2 x USB2.0 ports at the rear. Connect your additional Auto-guider camera or motor focus etc. via a short USB cable and reduce the risk of cable spaghetti and cable breaks. Separate cable connections between your accessories and your computer are also no longer necessary.
