Description

This group is dedicated to the Orion StarShoot Deep-Space Color Imager.

The StarShoot CCD is a Sony color EXview HAD that does full color imaging. More details about the StarShoot Imagers are available here (including a side-by-side comparison with the Meade DSI). It comes with MaxIm DL Essentials Edition software that provides real-time focusing assistance, easy image capture and stacking, and powerful image processing tools.

The camera works with any telescope and also can be used as an autoguider for long-exposure astrophotography. Power for the camera is supplied by your computer via the included USB 2.0 cable; TEC cooling requires an external 12-volt power source.
