The Skyris Aptina is a highly versatile camera, combining the modern Aptina sensor with fast USB 3.0!
- more data - more speed and ultra-fast readout. The camera can send data to the PC extremely rapidly thanks to USB 3.0. The Skyris Aptina CMOS sensor hardware supports subframing - if only a portion of the sensor is read with planetary imaging, then up to 200 frames per second are possible. Or use the whole 1.2 MP sensor can be used at 60 frames per second - ideal for photography of the Sun and Moon!
- ultra-sensitive sensor - CMOS sensors are beginning to supersede CCD sensors in planetary imaging, and the Aptina AR0132 sensor shows just where things are heading. This enhanced version of the popular MT9M034 sensor offers the perfect combination of speed, sensitivity and quality. The results rival those of much more expensive cameras, and at a very attractive price.
- all Skyris series cameras have a special lightweight housing developed by Celestron, the cooling fins reduce thermal noise. There is no optical window, so there can be no loss of light or image-degrading reflections.
- Skyris cameras as autoguider cameras - Skyris cameras also work extremely well as autoguiders. They are connected to a Celestron mount as a Direct-Show device or WDM-similar camera. Simply connect the hand control via RS232 cable and USB/RS232 adapter to your PC. Skyris cameras work with popular programs such as MaxIm DL or the PHD Guiding freeware. With many other mounts, it is not connected the PC via the hand controller, but with via the ST-4 autoguider port. Your Skyris is then turned into a highly sensitive autoguider.
The Skyris Aptina 132 C is a one-shot colour camera that provides instant colour images. You do not need to take a series of images for individual colours, and do not require any colour filters or a filter wheel.
