Celestron NexImage 5 - 5MP Solar System Imager - 93711

Do you want to get into easy astrophotography, but don''t want to invest a huge amount of money? Would you like to take great pictures of the Moon, Sun (with proper filter) or planets, but don''t want to invest in a high dollar DSLR camera? Does the thought of taking video images of solar system objects to share on You Tube make you excited? Then check out the very affordable Celestron NexImage 5 Solar System Imager!

The Celestron NexImage 5 Solar System Imager is a brilliant little Celestron CCD Video Camera which fits directly into your telescope''s focuser - just like an eyepiece. Now connect the USB cable to your computer, take aim, focus and shoot! That''s all there is to it.

Thanks to the included camera control software, the Celestron NexImage 5 Solar System Imager allows you to manually change the gain, contrast, exposure time, frame rate and color saturation. The software automatically filters out video frames most affected by poor atmospheric "seeing" leaving only the sharpest, clearest frames to be stacked and aligned into one high quality image. You''ll love what this small Celestron CCD Camera can do!
