Astrovid CCD Video - StellaCam II B&W CCD Video Integrating Imaging System (NTSC) (North America Ver
The StellaCam II is an excellent introduction to Deep Sky imaging for those who appreciate the versatility of a "True" video camera. The output of the camera can be displayed on a TV, VCR, Monitor (CHECK OUT OUR TOSHIBA MONITORS), Laptop or desktop computer.
The On-Screen (Monitor) image of brighter objects Messier objects such as the Dumbell Nebula rivals processed CCD images. The views on the monitor are spectacular. This improvement makes the StellaCam II especially well suited for school, planetariums, college, universities and industry and both the beginning imager and advanced imager.
There is a separate remote control box for slow shutter speed (frame accumulation), gain, gamma (contrast) control and freeze frame.
The freeze frame button will freeze your on screen image on the monitor. This is useful when you have an image you want to describe or display for a large group. Once the screen image is frozen, the telescope can be slewed to the next object while a discussion is being a given for the current on-screen image.
See the excellent review of the StellaCam II in the October 2004 Issue of Sky & Telescope Magazine
Following are two quotes from the review.
"AVA's latest offering for deep-sky video work is the StellaCam II. ... , but it can stack twice as many frames allowing it to probe deep into the night sky. ... it not only produces a deeper image but also delivers one with far better tonal quality and less electronic noise." - Johnny Horn, Sky and Telescope
"Although, StellaCam II is more expensive than its predecessor, .... it offers extremely compelling views of deep sky objects. In some cases it even produced images comparable to those shot with low-cost astronomical CCD cameras, but without the fuss of image calibration." - Johnny Horn, Sky and Telescope
The StellaCam II System includes, Camera, Hand Control Unit, 25' Shielded BNC to RCA Video Cable, 110 Volt Power Supply, C - 1.25 Inch Adapter, Instructions, One Year Warranty.
