Starlight Xpress Camera Trius PRO-814C Color (33557)

The Starlight Xpress Trius PRO-814C Color is a high-quality cooled CCD camera designed for deep sky astrophotography. Starlight Xpress is well known for its compact and innovative designs, and the Trius series continues this tradition with excellent noise performance and fast download speeds of about two million pixels per second.

The Starlight Xpress Trius PRO-814C Color camera is perfect for astrophotographers who need high sensitivity, low noise, and high resolution in a color format. Its advanced cooling, integrated USB hub, and premium-grade sensor make it an excellent choice for capturing detailed, low-noise color images of a wide range of celestial objects.

Main Features

• Integrated USB hub lets you connect up to three peripheral devices directly to the camera (5V DC, maximum 200 mA per port), which helps reduce cable clutter on your telescope. A guider can be connected using the RJ11 output.

• The camera includes a multi-coated quartz glass optical window for improved image quality and durability.

• The advanced Peltier cooling system is highly efficient for a compact camera. A built-in fan at the back draws air through small holes in the front, while a side fan helps keep the camera cool during warmer weather.

• The CCD sensor chamber is filled with argon gas to prevent moisture condensation and to support efficient cooling due to argon's low thermal conductivity.

• An adjustable adapter plate on the front of the camera allows the sensor to be aligned parallel to the telescope’s focal plane.

• Only high-quality grade 1 or better CCD sensors are used, ensuring there are no dead pixels or defective columns.
