Starlight Xpress SXVF-H9 CCD CameraThe Starlight Xpress SXVF-H9 is an advanced, very high-resolution cooled CCD camera, especially designed for astronomical imaging.
It is a second generation version of the very popular HX916 and incorporates many substantial improvements and extra features. These include a built-in, fully programmable, USB 2 super-fast computer interface (USB 1.1 compatible), an optional add-on autoguider output and integrated dual serial ports for filter wheel and telescope control. The SXVF-H9 uses a Sony ICX285 ‘ExView’ progressive scan CCD, with 1392 x 1040 x 6.45uM pixels in a 8.98 x 6.71mm active area. ExView devices have excellent quantum efficiency, with a broad spectral response peaking at around 65% in the green, and an extremely low dark current, well below that of any comparable CCD currently available. While this device has an excellent blue light sensitivity, it also has a strong infra-red response, which makes it ideal for all aspects of both planetary and deep-sky imaging, especially with an H-alpha filter. The SXVF-H9 is also the first high-performance astronomical camera to take advantage of a super high-speed USB 2 computer connection. The USB 2 connection offers a download speed increase of about 30x that of the original USB 1.1 interface supplied with the HX916. The full-frame download time is approximately 0.6 seconds and binned 4x4 downloads take only 0.1 seconds, so finding and centring are very quick and easy in this mod Return From Starlight Xpress SXVF-H9 To Starlight Xpress CCD Camera Main Page Privacy Policy | Disclaimer | Sitemap | Contact | Link To Us
