For sale - STARLIGHT XPRESS LODESTAR
Mono $200 Posted
MC $200 Posted
The SX Lodestar utilizes a very sensitive Sony ‘ExView’ CCD (the ICX829) with an array of 752 x 582 pixels in a ‘half-inch’ format. Although the chip is not cooled, it has a very low dark signal and very little readout noise, so it can be used to guide on faint stars that are beyond the reach of webcams and CMOS chip based guide cameras. Because of the high sensitivity and high dynamic range characteristics of the Sony ICX829, the Starlight Xpress Lodestar makes a superb electronic finder and planetary imaging camera as well as a splendid autoguider!
