Starlight Xpress Superstar Autoguider - Color
Say hello to the Starlight Xpress Superstar! It's a high resolution, sensitive USB2.0 guide camera in a miniature package. The Starlight Xpress Superstar Autoguider employs a SuperHAD CCD with 1392 x 1040 pixels, USB powered, Opto-Isolated control outputs. It's as small as a 1.25" eyepiece and weighs much less! Although the Starlight Xpress Superstar Autoguider is primarily intended as a high performance guider, it makes a superb electronic finder and planetary imaging camera!
