Description

The Starlight Xpress Camera Trius SX-56 Mono is a high-performance, large-format CCD camera designed for advanced astrophotography, particularly for capturing nebulae and galaxies. It features a 16.7 megapixel ON Semiconductor KAF-16803 sensor with a square 36.8 x 36.8 mm imaging area and 9 μm square pixels, offering high sensitivity and excellent image quality. The camera is equipped with a mechanical roller blind shutter driven by a stepper motor, ensuring uniform sensor illumination even at very short exposure times. The multi-coated synthetic sapphire input window provides exceptional thermal conductivity, preventing dew formation without the need for a window heater.

 

The camera's CCD chamber is compact, filled with dry argon, and O-ring sealed, eliminating the need for desiccant and making maintenance easy. A built-in LED flood illuminator helps eliminate residual bulk image (RBI) effects. The Trius SX-56 Mono offers fast image downloads, with a full 16.7-megapixel frame transferring in about 6.5 seconds via USB 2.0. Its three-stage Peltier cooler provides cooling of more than 45°C below ambient, while keeping power consumption below 2 amps at 12V DC. The camera also includes a built-in 3-port USB 2.0 hub for connecting accessories.
