Celestron Neximage 5 Solar System Imager

5 Mega pixel color sensor with Micron® DigitalClarity® technology to dramatically reduce image noise levels
Software automatically filters out video frames most affected by poor atmospheric conditions, leaving only the sharpest, clearest frames to be stacked and aligned into one high-quality image
View and capture live video on your computer
Manually adjust gain, contrast, exposure time, frame rate and color saturation using your PC
Machined aluminum 1.25″ adapter barrel with C-threads for direct threaded connection to almost any telescope

Description

Capture high-resolution planetary, lunar and solar images with almost any telescope with the Celestron Neximage 5 Solar System Imager. Combined with the included software package, NexImage 5 brings out tremendous detail and produces images rivaling those taken with astronomical cameras costing hundreds more.

Simply point your telescope at the Moon or a planet and record a quick video. The included software analyzes each frame of video, throws away the fuzzy ones, and perfectly aligns the remaining images. The result is a bright, clear image with the maximum amount of color and detail. NexImage 5 is a great way to get started with astroimaging, especially if you live in a light-polluted area. If you can see the planet the sky, you can image it with Celestron Neximage 5!
