Capture night-sky images or guide your mount through long exposures for pinpoint image accuracy with the color Lodestar PRO Autoguider & Imaging Camera from Starlight Xpress. The CCD camera employs the Sony ICX829AK sensor, with considerably improved QE from earlier models and typical readout noise of 8 electrons. This Exview 2 chip approximately doubles the original Lodestar's sensitivity and adds nearly a full star magnitude to the minimum guide star brightness.

The camera fits common 1.25" focusers and guide scopes, and comes with an output cable for ST4 sockets on mounts. It has a 25.4 x 0.75mm filter thread. A mini-USB style USB2 port is provided for power and control.
