About this product

Model:  Trius-SX-694-PRO-Colour
Part Number:  100-0056

Starlight Xpress TRIUS 694 Pro available at a Special Price - limited availability. 

The TRIUS range of cameras were the first on the market to incorporate a powered USB 2.0 hub in the rear of the camera. This enables users to connect their USB filter wheel and guide-camera directly to the camera rather than multiple cables back to the computer, for simplicity and convenience. 

The new Blue Edition TRIUS PRO series follows on from that success. Starlight Xpress has redesigned the electronics for even lower read-noise figures and faster downloads. The Sony CCD cameras are achieving read-noise figures that are better than CMOS cameras (when used at unity gain), along with 16-bit data and, thanks to the impressive cooling, significantly better dark-noise figures. Dark frames really are a thing of the past, making calibration frames optional rather than compulsory, giving you more time to capture data and process your images. 

 

MAJOR FEATURES

  • Lower read-noise than CMOS cameras
  • A Bayer matrix single-shot colour version of the Trius PRO-694 mono camera.
  • Medium-sized, high-resolution 'Exview' CCD sensor with 6,050,000 x 4.54uM square pixels in a 15.98 mm diagonal array.
  • Exceptionally low dark signal - dark frames are unnecessary for most deep-sky objects.
  • Excellent QE of 77% peak in yellow light, 65% at Hydrogen alpha (656 nm).
  • Three port powered USB hub built-in. You can drive a Lodestar or Superstar guider + SX filter wheel.
  • High performance two stage cooling for better than -40C delta T
  • Dry Argon CCD chamber fill for improved cooling performance.
  • Exceptionally effective anti-blooming with minimal effect on linearity and no lost active area.
  • High-speed USB 2.0 interface for approx.  3.5-second downloads.
  • Built-in triple-powered USB hub for guider and filter wheel control.
  • Single USB cable control for all features - get rid of that dangerous cable tangle!
  • Very low power consumption. Less than 1.5 amps at 12v DC.
  • Compact and lightweight - only 75mm in diameter x 70mm long - less than 500 grams load on the telescope.
  • Collimatable front cover.
