Capture The CosmosHigh Resolution Solar System Imaging
The Celestron NexImage 5 Solar System Imager is an exceptional astrophotography camera designed to transform any compatible telescope into a high-performance planetary imaging rig. Equipped with a 5-megapixel sensor, this planetary imager allows observers to capture crisp lunar detail, solar features, and fine planetary structures even from light-polluted backyards.
Pro Planetary AstrophotographyAdvanced Image Stacking and Crisp Detail
Unleash the full potential of your telescope with the Celestron NexImage 5 Solar System Imager. Featuring Micron DigitalClarity technology, this high-resolution CMOS sensor camera dramatically reduces image noise levels to reveal faint surface details on Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, and the Moon. The included camera control and image alignment software automatically analyzes live video streams, discarding frames affected by atmospheric distortion to stack only the sharpest images into one brilliant master photograph. Equipped with a standard 1.25-inch adapter nosepiece, an integrated IR-cut optical window, and selectable region-of-interest sub-framing, the Celestron NexImage 5 makes high-resolution lunar and planetary imaging accessible to every astroimager.
