ZWO once again raises the bar in astrophotography with the release of the new version of its iconic ASI2600MC Pro camera. This updated model retains all the features that made its predecessor a bestseller — exceptional image quality, high sensitivity, and uncompromising reliability — while introducing several improvements that make it an even more powerful tool for demanding astrophotographers. At the core of this camera lies a color CMOS sensor developed by Sony. The IMX571 sensor is distinguished by its exceptionally low noise level of just 0.0024 e⁻/s/px at 0°C.

New generation rechargeable battery manufactured by Pulsar. The compact size of the battery helps minimize the overall dimensions of the device. The APS 3 is a Li-ion battery with a voltage of 3.7 V and a capacity of 3200 mAh.

This plastic universal adapter allows a smartphone to be attached to an observation scope, telescope, binoculars, or microscope. It enables the phone’s camera to capture photos or videos directly through the eyepiece. The adapter fits eyepieces with an outer diameter between 26 and 47 mm.

This transmitted light spectroscope is a simple yet precise instrument designed for observing and analyzing the spectra of various light sources. It features a tube with a precision entrance slit and a 600 lines-per-millimetre grating, allowing users to easily point it at different light sources such as the sky (to observe the solar spectrum and Fraunhofer absorption lines), flames for chemical analysis, liquids for their absorption spectra, or the bright lines from discharge tubes and lamps.

This compact spectroscope features a high-performance flat-field concave grating in a module measuring just 136 x 120 x 75 mm and weighing 1.2 kg. It includes a built-in Lodestar X2 guide camera and an argon-neon calibration lamp for precise wavelength calibration. Both the input and output are equipped with T2 threads, making the unit compatible with most imaging cameras that use T2 thread connections. Starlight Xpress recommends pairing this spectroscope with the Trius SX-694 camera for optimal performance.
