Atik 314L+ CCD Camera

The Atik 314L camera is based on the highly successful Atik 3 platform, which features state-of-the-art technology for supreme performance and ease-of-use. In addition the 314L+ has full set point temperature regulation to make taking matching dark frames a snap

A result of extensive research and development, the Atik 3 platform's benefits include:

USB2 performance for ultra-fast download speeds
1 megapixel/second readout, or 2 megapixel/second in preview mode
advanced electronics provide the best readout noise characteristics
lightweight cases put less stress on your focuser
compact and symmetrical camera design allows use with fork mounts, as well as Starizona's Hyperstar system
low power consumption - 12V, 0.8A - means longer imaging sessions in the field
highly efficient set point thermoelectric cooling - to 27°C below ambient temperature
software-controlled cooling for automated operation

Like its brother the Atik 314E, this camera draws on all the advantages of this popular and highly successful platform. However, the Atik 314L incorporates the exceptional Sony ICX285AL ExView 1392x1040 sensor with larger 6.45µm pixels, making it suitable for use on a wide range of telescopes. Readout noise is typically 4 electrons rms making this an extremely sensitive camera, and data download takes only 1.8s for a full-frame readout, or 0.9s in preview mode. The camera weighs only 400g.

This camera is a significant advance on the highly successful Atik 16HR model, which first made high quality, medium resolution imaging affordable to all.
