The Blue edition Starlight Trius Pro-814 Monochrome CCD Camera features a ICX814AL Exview progressive scan CCD sensor to capture views of the cosmos in 3388 x 2712 resolution through your telescope or astrograph. Utilizing a monochrome sensor allows the system to use 100% of its available pixels for better resolution, and gives you the ability to use filters and filter wheels to isolate specific colors and wavelengths for later stacking in post. An integrated auto-guider output port allows you to easily tether it to your off-axis guider (OAG) to improve tracking accuracy and precision during long imaging sessions. There is also a three-port USB hub that allows you to power and control accessories, like filter wheels and electric focusers, from your computer software utilizing just one USB cable between the camera and PC.
