Starlight Xpress SXVR-M26C Camera
The Starlight Xpress SXVR-M26C Camera with SuperHAD technology and a large format make this CCD camera a real winner. Single-shot colour avoids the complication of using a filter wheel and multiple exposures. High sensitivity and low noise produce outstanding results. The built-in autoguider control and serial outputs allow control of many telescopes and accessories, all through one USB cable. Not only does the M26C perform superbly, it will simplify your astro-photography setup. It's a great choice for anyone who wants a really capable setup with minimum fuss.
