TS Optics Astro CCD Camera for Moon and Planets with 1.25'' adapter
The CCD Astro camera is a real improvement compared with normal webcams.
The TSSSI can be regarded as sucessor of the Philips webcams, as it has been developed for astronomy and offers good photographic characteristics especially for sun, moon and planets.
The advantages
System requirements
Practical tip
If maximum photographic resolution of an existing telescope is wanted (e.g. for planetary photography), the focal ratio should be reduced to f/25...f/30. Then the sensor pixels have the optimum resolution. This can be done by using Barlow lenses.
For other tasks like wide field photography, the sensor might become too small for wider fields. Here, a focal reducer is the solution. A 1.25" version easily screws into the camera´s nose-piece
Delivery contents
Complete set for starting in astrophotography at little cost
