Planets or wide lunar vistas
With this camera, your planet photos can really take off. With a high resolution of 1280x960 pixels, you are exploring a new way of taking sharp photos of the solar system. The large chip area is ideal for wonderful expansive shots of lunar landscapes. This really makes video astronomy fun.
On the fast track to better planet photos
Using this camera is like taking the motorway for getting to better planet photos. The technicians have given their all again producing this model, and have reached a whole new level. The camera can take up to 50 FPS images 65% faster than its forerunner. The big advantage is that you can better take advantage of those short intervals of good seeing.
More image, less noise
The redesigned electronics produce a better image with less noise. This means more detail on your images and a more beautiful final result.
