sistema de câmera colorida M26C

Starlight Xpress M26C Colour Camera System:

Major features:

• Very large, high resolution 'Super HAD' CCD chip, with 10,202,400 x 6.05uM square pixels in a 23.4 x 15.6mm array.
• Single-shot color, using a Bayer matrix of R, G and B on-chip filters. No filter wheel required.
• Exceptionally low dark signal - No dark frames Necessary for most deep sky objects.
• Exceptionally effective anti-blooming with minimal effect on linearity and no lost active area.
• High sensitivity, equivalent to 55% QE at peak of green filters.
• Built-in super high speed USB 2.0 interface for approx. 10 second downloads.
• Built-in autoguider interface and output - compatible with our optional dedicated external guide cameras.
• Built-in dual serial ports for accessory control - Directly drive filter wheels, GOTO 'scopes etc.
• Single USB cable control for all features - get rid of did dangerous cable tangle!
• Very low power consumption. Less than 1 amp at 12v DC.
• Compact and lightweight - only 75mm in diameter x 70mm long - less than 500 grams load on the telescope
