Description
- CAPTURE ULTRA-HIGH-RES IMAGES & VIDEO: Intuitive yet powerful, this camera captures detailed 20 MP (5240 x 3840) stills and smooth AVI video of the planets, Moon, and Sun (with a solar filter). Easily stack your frames, create high-quality prints, or share your results online.
- HIGH-PERFORMANCE SENSOR FOR SHARPER DETAIL: The Onsemi AR2020 back-illuminated CMOS sensor features 1.4 μm pixels on a 7.3 x 5.4 mm sensor. With 8.7 ke−/lux-sec sensitivity, it captures crisp detail even in challenging seeing conditions.
- INSTANTLY COMPATIBLE WITH YOUR TELESCOPE: NexImage 20 slides directly into your telescope’s 1.25” eyepiece holder using the included nosepiece—no adapters needed. Capture sharp, high-resolution photos and smooth planetary videos right at the focal plane.
- ZOOM IN ON THE DETAIL WITH REGION OF INTEREST (ROI): Crop the frame to capture just your target—perfect for small objects like planets. ROI increases frame rate for smoother video, reduces file size, and speeds up stacking and post-processing.
- EASY USB CONNECTION TO YOUR COMPUTER: Simply connect the NexImage 20 to your Windows PC via the included USB-A to USB-C cable.
- DUAL-PURPOSE: IMAGING + AUTOGUIDING: NexImage 20 doubles as a capable autoguider, helping your telescope stay locked on target during long-exposure astrophotography. For advanced users with additional guiding hardware, it adds precision tracking to your setup.
- iCAP SOFTWARE INCLUDED: Capture, preview, and save your images and video with iCap—Celestron’s dedicated imaging software for NexImage. Easily adjust exposure, gain, and frame rate, and take full control of your imaging workflow from your Windows PC.
