Orion StarShoot G4 Monochrome Deep Space Imaging Camera

Orion StarShoot G4 Monochrome Camera

This fourth generation StarShoot Imaging Camera features an impressive CCD chip sensor and highly efficient cooling systems to help you capture amazing astrophotos. Regulated thermoelectric cooling (TEC) keeps each camera at least 20° below ambient temperature to eliminate noise for accurate dark frame acquisition and efficient image capture. Thanks to regulated TEC, StarShoot G4 cameras make it easy to match dark frames night to night, and even hour to hour, for impeccable results. Each G4 camera is equipped with a vibration-free fan to further optimize cooling performance.

The StarShoot G4 Monochrome Camera is built around the 1/2" format Sony ICX829ALA monochrome CCD sensor, which boasts a 752 x 582 pixel array with sensitive, 8.6 micron by 8.3 micron pixels to detect and capture detailed features of deep space objects. Such large, 1/2" format CCD sensors aren't usually available in cameras priced as low as the Orion StarShoot G4, and the big chip provides a much larger imaging field of view than cameras equipped with 1/3" format sensors so you can shoot more sky in less time. The camera body measures just 2.68" x 2.75" x 3.63" and features a built-in 2" nosepiece and T-threads as well as a 1.25" adapter for easy attachment to a variety of imaging telescopes and astrophotography accessories. Includes a 10' USB cable and a 10' 12V auto-lighter socket power cable.

Since it features a highly sensitive monochrome imaging CCD chip, the StarShoot G4 Monochrome Deep Space Imaging Camera is capable of performing advanced tri-color imaging techniques when used with LRGB or narrowband astrophotography filters. Using a monochrome astrophotography camera gives you complete control over which light wavelengths to accentuate to create vibrantly colored astrophotos of interesting deep space phenomena.

Please note: This StarShoot G4 CCD Camera can only be operated with a compatible imaging software that may require device specific drivers.
