Starlight Xpress Camera Trius PRO-694 Mono, Combi Set (44335)

The Starlight Xpress Trius PRO-694 Mono, Combi Set is a high-performance cooled CCD camera system created for deep sky astrophotography. Starlight Xpress is recognized for its compact, innovative designs and exceptional quality, and the Trius series maintains this standard by providing excellent noise performance and fast download speeds of around two million pixels per second.

The Starlight Xpress Trius PRO-694 Mono, Combi Set is a top choice for astrophotographers who require high sensitivity, low noise, and reliable performance. With advanced cooling, an integrated USB hub, a premium-grade sensor, and an included filter wheel, this camera system is ideal for capturing sharp, low-noise images of a wide variety 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), reducing cable clutter on your telescope. A guider can be connected via the RJ11 output.

• Multi-coated quartz glass optical window ensures high image quality and durability.

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

• 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.

• Adjustable adapter plate on the front of the camera allows 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 for advanced multi-filter imaging.
