Bigger Chip, Improved Features Deliver Even More Spectacular Images!

Here's the best affordable single-shot color CCD astro camera on the market today. With its bigger CCD chip, improved engineering, and more efficient active cooling, the StarShoot "DSCI II" gives beginning and experienced imagers alike a more powerful tool for capturing dramatic celestial images.  

It features an 8mm diagonal (Type 1/2) Sony CCD chip with 752 x 582 pixel array and 8.6 x 8.3 micron pixels. The larger chip sees a wider chunk of sky and is more sensitive than its predecessor. The thermoelectric cooling (TEC) system has been improved to further cut electronic "noise" -- a big advantage over the competition's cam, which is uncooled.

The MaxIm DL Essentials software provides real-time focusing assistance, easy image capture, and powerful processing tools. It now includes batch processing and multiple-camera support. Power is supplied by your computer's  USB 2.0 port.
