Enter the world of astrophotography now. The new EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC DEEP SKY ASTRO camera offers a complete, modern package for convenient Astro photo and video creation. Finally, an easy-to-use camera for capturing galaxies, star clusters, the moon and even planets with high resolution and low sensor noise. Thanks to the fast USB-3 computer interface, all image data is transferred within a few seconds. So long waiting times are now history.

Simply connect the camera to your telescope using the T2 internal thread (M42.0.75mm) or the supplied 2" (50.8mm) plug-in adapter and after installing the drivers and THE INCLUDED EXPLORE Capture recording and editing software, you are ready to start for the first correct Astro photos with a highly specialized camera for your application.

THE EXPLORE Capture Professional software included in the delivery offers not only the necessary basic functions for the image and video recording, but also many additional helpful special functions for image editing and for setting up the camera. Functions such as live image display, exposure settings, white balance, dark image print, stacking, timeline recordings and much more can be configured individually. The very sophisticated software makes it really easy for you to get started with astrophotography. With the automatic settings, you can generate absolutely presentable results even without a lot of prior knowledge. If you want, simply switch off the automatic settings and venture gradually to the individual professional settings.

The new EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC DEEP SKY camera has a Panasonic CMOS sensor, which is highly sensitive and very low noise and is additionally cooled down to 40°C below ambient temperature by the two-stage thermoelectric cooling. This guarantees a much lower noise and fewer hot pixels in your recordings, in contrast to normal DSLR cameras. The images are not only much sharper and more brilliant, but also contain more usable image information. The controlled setting of the desired camera temperature makes it possible to create dark frames under reproducible recording conditions at any time. The large-format CMOS sensor with a diagonal of 21.9mm also enables large image fields and simplifies the setting and centering of objects considerably.

The camera has a built-in USB hub on the back with 2 x USB2.0 connections. There you can connect your additional auto-guider camera or motor focus etc. via a short USB cable and thus reduce the risk of cable mess and cable breaks. This eliminates the need for separate cable connections from your accessories to your computer.

A sturdy hard shell case for the camera plus accessories is also included in the delivery.

NOTE: Don't be confused by the megapixel information and the conflicting pricing structure. In the field of astronomy, maximum light sensitivity is not the sensor resolution but the decisive criterion. The main objective is to capture as much light as possible in a short time.
