Starlight Xpress Camera Trius PRO-825 Mono, Combi Set (48688)

The Starlight Xpress Trius PRO-825 Mono, Combi Set is a professional cooled CCD camera system designed for deep sky astrophotography. Starlight Xpress is known for its compact, innovative designs and outstanding quality, and the Trius series continues this reputation by offering improved noise performance and fast download speeds of about two million pixels per second.

The Starlight Xpress Trius PRO-825 Mono, Combi Set is an excellent choice for astrophotographers who need high sensitivity, low noise, and reliable performance. Its advanced cooling, integrated USB hub, premium-grade sensor, and included filter wheel make it ideal for capturing detailed, low-noise images of a wide range of celestial objects.

Main Features

• Integrated USB hub allows connection of up to three peripheral devices directly to the camera (5V DC, maximum 200 mA per port), helping to keep your telescope setup organized and free of cable clutter. A guider can be connected via 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, making it possible to use multiple filters for advanced imaging.
