QSI 583 Cooled CCD Camera with Kodak KAF-8300. The QSI 583 sets a new benchmark for price performance in a scientific camera utilizing the 8.3mp Kodak full-frame KAF-8300 CCD image sensor with microlens technology. The high quantum efficiency, wide dynamic range and low noise performance make the 583 ideally suited to a broad range of demanding astronomical, scientific and industrial imaging applications. "The QSI 583 is built like a Swiss watch ... beautifully engineered mechanically and electronically . Innovations like putting the filter wheel close to the imaging chip so smaller filters can be used, and building an off axis guider into the camera body, are additional benefits that make using this camera a pleasure. It is ideal for short and medium focal length telescopes and lenses " - Tony Hallas See more accolades for the QSI 583>> QSI Image Quality The QSI 583 scientific camera was designed from the ground up to attain the highest possible imaging performance.

The new Baader Planetarium MPCC MkIII enables owners of fast Newtonian telescopes to use their instrument for taking stunning wide-field images, or visually, for delivering wide-field views with stars that remain pinpoint to the edge - with no magnification increase!. The MPCC has been optimized for Newtonians with focal ratios from f/3.5 to f/6, and will deliver 12micron stars across a full 35mm frame size. Independent optical laboratory tests (by ITE) have confirmed that the MPCC is the sharpest wide-field coma corrector available for imaging, and provides the best edge of field illumination (least vignetting). Visual users have reported great results even down to f/3.5. The optics are anti-reflection coated with Baader's PHantom Group Multicoatings.
The MPCC is also priced very reasonably. It's modularity lets you purchase only the parts you need. New Features of the MkIII Version: New Optical Design - calculated for an unvignetted field down to f/3.5.
