• CELESTRON

Celestron's Neximage has established itself as the first-choice webcam adapted for astronomy. Based on a popular CCD chip it is ideal for lunar and planetary photography.

It fits in place of your 1.25" eyepiece and connects to a USB port on your laptop or PC. Supplied software captures video of your target then processes it to simulate a long exposure. The software allows you to discard frames where the atmosphere was unsteady and takes out tracking errors. The resulting images can be very impressive.

Neximage and its software are easy to use and make an excellent route into astrophotography.

But Titan offers even more. It can sustain a high readout rate allwoing you to use it for high-resolution planetary imaging. And it can be used as an auto-guider.

So, if you are looking for a versatile first CCD camera then choose the Titan. If you move on to bigger and better things later you can continue to use Titan for planetary imaging or as an autoguider.
