Baader Q-Turret eyepiece-revolver set - selected as Hot Product in 2014 by Sky&Telescope
Diagonal 6.46 mm (Type 1/2.8) Square Pixel Array Color CMOS Image Sensor
▶Back-Illuminated CMOS image Sensors with Improved Visible Light and Near Infrared Sensitivity that Support 1080p
Sony has developed the approx. 2.13M effective pixel back-illuminated CMOS image sensors IMX290LQR and IMX291LQR with improved sensitivity in the visible-light and near infrared light regions for industrial applications.
A new 2.9 µm-square unit pixel has been developed that combines a back-illuminated structure with technology for improving near infrared sensitivity to further enhance picture quality at low illumination while at the same time realizing Full HD cameras for industrial applications. This realizes two or more times the sensitivity in the visible-light region and three or more times the sensitivity in the near infrared light region than that of the existing Sony product (IMX236LQJ).

The EFW mini is the smallest and most lightweight 1.25″ Electronic Filter Wheel in the world! Handles 5x1,25" or 31mm (unmounted) filters. Weights 300g only. Thickness is 20 mm.
Only one USB Cable is enough to power up the EFW, the max power consumption is around 120mA@5V, so you can powered it through the USB port.
The Electronic Filter wheel can be rotated in both counter clockwise or clockwise direction for filter selection.
The distance between the filter and sensor is only around 10mm when you connect it to ASI1600. So 1.25″ filters won’t have vignetting up to F5 focal ratio scope and 31mm filter won’t have vignetting up to F2 lens
ASI120 is a very fast and sensitive USB2.0 camera. Up to 30FPS under 1280X960 full resolution! With a peak QE of 75%, beyond ICX618 and with no FPN(Fixed pattern Noise)! Long time exposure supported up to 1000s.
Very good cameras with extra high image quality. Extra high sensitivity and extra low readout noise resulting exeptionally good image quality, or high snr (signal to noise ratio).
Output is 12 bit (over the usual 8 bit), readout time is very fast. ROI is supported, so it can be use as a lower resolution camera for planetary imaging with very-very high transfer rate. While transfer rate is 35fps at full resolution of the USB 2.0 models, the new 3.0 version has amazing60fpsmaximal frame rate! At lower resolution it is even faster, 133fps at 640x480. Extremely good!
Supported OS: Windows XP 32bit/64bit, vista, Windows 7 32bit/64bit, Windows 8 32bit/64bit

ZWO ASI585MC USB 3.0 color planetary camera (IMX585 Sensor, 2.9µm pixels)
The ASI585MC uses Sony's IMX585 low read noise CMOS sensor. Its frame format is 1/1.2" and it features 2.9μm pixels in a 3840x2160 array. In ADC 12-bit mode the ASI585MC can output 46.9 frames per second at full resolution and it has a read out noise level as low as 0.8e. The ASI585MC features zero amp glow, low read noise and higher sensitivity and is ideal for solar and lunar imaging and as an All Sky Camera.
The Celestron Focus Motor enables electronic focusing using a computer or Celestron computerized mount hand controller for remote/hands-free observing.
Self-powering: When connected to a Celestron computerized mount, the mount provides the power. When connected directly to a computer, USB provides the power.
Compatible with a wide variety of Celestron Schmidt-Cassegrain, EdgeHD, and Rowe-Ackermann Schmidt Astrograph optical tubes. Check description for full list.
Motor controls include multiple speed rates, automatic GoTo indexed focuser position, and focuser backlash compensation.
Focuser Utility software for Windows provides a simple user interface. Also compatible with Celestron PWI.
Enables autofocusing with a camera and third-party software via ASCOM.
Indexed focus position allows the motor to automatically return to a previous focus position and prevents the focus motor from reaching the end of telescope’s mechanical focus travel.
The ASI 662MC offers very high resolution, making it ideal for moon and planetary photography. However, EAA (Electronically Assisted Astronomy) and DeepSky astrophotography are also possible with this uncooled camera. This CMOS camera is equipped with a modern 1/2.8" sensor with 1920*1080 pixels. In addition to modern back-illumination technology, the IMX662 sensor offers an extremely smooth image without amplifier glow and also impresses with its high resolution (2.9μm pixels) at high frame rates.
The ZWO ASI 662MC is primarily used for detailed planetary photography and high-resolution images of the lunar surface, solar photography (always use a suitable filter!), imaging of compact, brighter nebulae (planetary nebulae) and globular clusters. Here, exposure times of up to 2000 seconds are possible.
This camera model can also be used very well for infrared photography (less visibility of influence) or as an autopilot.
The high resolution combined with a high frame rate of 108 frames per second (RAW8 format) also allows for real-time observations of planets and details of the Sun and Moon. The built-in clear glass filter prevents dust from entering the sensor. With the right choice of contrast filters, nebula filters, infrared filters or UV/IR blocking filters, you have complete control over what light falls on the sensor.
