Orion StarShoot USB Eyepiece Camera II 1.25"

The Orion StarShoot USB Eyepiece Camera is a fun and affordable entry-level camera! The USB Eyepiece Camera II lets you view what your telescope sees on your laptop for crowd-pleasing performance. This camera is home to a CMOS sensor chip with 8-bit output and RGB 24-bit color resolution. While not sensitive enough to capture faint deep space objects, this USB eyepiece camera enables you to share views of brighter objects within our solar system like the Moon and bright planets.

The StarShoot Camera fits in any telescope with a 1.25" focuser, or a 2" to 1.25” with an optional step-down adapter. While a telescope attached to a mount equipped with a tracking motor will provide the best results for nighttime use, even non-motorized telescopes like Dobsonian reflectors work well with this petite performer. The 1.25” nosepiece is threaded for use with any Orion 1.25” eyepiece filter, so you can enhance the view to your liking by using a Moon filter, light pollution filter, color planetary filters (Sold Separately)

The included Orion AmCap movie capture software allows you to save and process the views transmitted through the eyepiece. Orion AmCap is compatible with Windows XP, Vista, 7, and 8 Operating Systems. The StarShoot USB Eyepiece can capture up to 24 frames per second at its native resolution of 640 × 480 pixels, which is considerably higher than our original model. Progressive scan imaging means information from every pixel is delivered to your computer for each frame. The color CMOS sensor features small 5.6 ½ x 5.6 ½ pixels for great resolution on bright targets. All power is supplied to the StarShoot USB Eyepiece through its USB connection to your computer.

Please note:This StarShoot USB Camera can only be operated with a compatible imaging software that may require device specific drivers. As of March, 2025, the website address referenced on the included driver download card is no longer accessible. The functionality of this product is not guaranteed.
