Product Description

You have your new telescope and have observed Saturn and Jupiter. Now you're ready to take the next step and start imaging them. But where do you begin? The Celestron NexImage 10 Solar System Imager is the perfect solution. Ideal for any modern PC or laptop and compatible with Windows or Apple iOS systems.

Overview
Easy to use color camera, provides live video for quick focusing
3856 x 2764-pixel array with small pixels, provides high resolution images
Includes Celestron iCap software for image capture and export
Includes RegiStax stacking software that automatically filters the best images, aligns, and stacks your planetary images

The NexImage 10 is our first NexImage series camera to incorporate USB 3.0 SuperSpeed! With more than ten million pixels coupled with high speed data transmission, the NexImage 10 produces clear and detailed planetary images like never before. With super small 1.67µm pixels, smaller telescopes with shorter focal lengths are still going to yield tremendous planetary detail. It’s one of the best valued, high-res USB 3 planetary imaging cameras on the market. Best of all, NexImage includes everything you need to get started, including Celestron's easy-to-use software suite. The iCap capture software and RegiStax stacking software are the same powerful programs included with Celestron's high-end Skyris cameras.

Simply point your telescope at the Moon or a planet and record a quick video. The software analyzes each frame of video, throws away the fuzzy ones, and perfectly aligns the remaining images. The result is a bright, clear image with the maximum amount of colour and detail. NexImage 10 is a great way to get started with astroimaging, especially if you live in a light-polluted area. If you can see the planet in the sky, you can image it with NexImage 10!

Now Mac OS X compatible! Refer to oaCapture and Lynkeos downloads in the support section of the Celestron main website.

Combine the camera with a Barlow lens to achieve higher magnifications, especially useful on telescopes with focal lengths under 1000mm.
