    Orion Starshoot AutoGuider Camera
    $530.00 or near offer

    New and unused and bought from Jacobs Digital: https://www.jacobsdigital.co.nz/products/orion-starshoot-autoguider

    Was bought as part of a package, but I already had my own guider camera. Happy to ship at purchaser’s expense.

    The StarShoot AutoGuider is built around a high-resolution, 1/2″ format 1.3-megapixel CMOS monochrome chip, with 5.2æ x 5.2æ pixels for highly accurate guiding. That high accuracy due to the small pixel size means you can use the Orion StarShoot AutoGuider with smaller, less expensive guide scopes than what’s possible with other guide cameras (such as the now-discontinued ST-4). The chip resides in a super-compact, anodized aluminum housing that measures just 2.5″ wide by 2.35″ long and weighs a mere 4.4 oz. It has a 1.25″ nosepiece that can be removed to access a T-thread interface. On top of that, the StarShoot AutoGuider’s short inward focus requirement of only 15mm from a typical 1.25″ Plossl telescope eyepiece makes it compatible with virtually any telescope. Requires Mac computer running OS X, or PC running Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8 or Windows 10 Operating Systems. AutoGuider is not recommended for use as a stand-alone imaging camera. Best for deep sky imaging Imaging sensor: Micron MT9M001 Imaging sensor size: 6.66mm x 5.32mm Pixel array:1280 x 1024 (1,310,720 total) Pixel size: 5.2 x 5.2 Imaging chip: Monochrome Video frame rate: 15 frames/second at full resolution Autoguider capability: Yes Exposure range: 0.05 second to 10 second A/D conversion: 8 bit Thermoelectric cooling: No IR filter: No Mounting: 1.25″ nozzle or t-thread USB connection: High-speed 2.0 Software compatibility: Windows 7/8/10/11, macOS Backfocus distance (from T-threads): 15.00mm Weight: 4 oz.

     

    Clear skies,
