Starlight Xpress Camera Trius PRO-814 Mono, Combi Set (44336)

The Starlight Xpress Trius PRO-814 Mono, Combi Set is a professional cooled CCD camera system made for deep sky astrophotography. Starlight Xpress is recognized for its compact, innovative designs and high quality, and the Trius series continues this tradition with improved noise performance and fast download speeds of around two million pixels per second.

The Starlight Xpress Trius PRO-814 Mono, Combi Set is ideal for astrophotographers who need high sensitivity, low noise, and high resolution. With its advanced cooling, integrated USB hub, premium-grade sensor, and included filter wheel, this camera system is an excellent choice for capturing detailed, low-noise images of a wide range of celestial objects.

Main Features

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

• Multi-coated quartz glass optical window for enhanced image quality and durability.

• Advanced Peltier cooling system with a rear fan that draws air through small holes in the front, plus a side fan to keep the camera cool in warmer weather.

• Argon-filled CCD sensor chamber to prevent moisture condensation and improve cooling efficiency due to argon's low thermal conductivity.

• Adjustable adapter plate on the front of the camera for precise alignment of the sensor parallel to the telescope’s focal plane.

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

• The combi set includes a filter wheel, allowing for advanced multi-filter imaging.
