Questions & Answers

THOMAS B : Does this camera work with an eyepiece or instead of one?Alberto V : I use it alone with no lens, but you can try using it with a barlow lens.
Aubrey S : Can I use this camera to take pictures of the sun?MICHAEL P : Yes, Douglas B has the right answer. To protect your camera and your telescope you will need a solar filter at the objective lens end of the telescope. Michael PWILLIAM R : Only with a proper solar filter that covers the large end of the telescope. They are readily available on the web. If you point the telescope at the sun without a solar filter you can damage the scope or worse yet burn out your eye.DOUGLAS B : Yes, but only with a proper solar filter on the aperture of the scope you're using it with.

Great little imager for just starting out.

Great Imager for somebody just starting out like myself. Easy instructions to follow and not bad pictures. Nothing like someone who spends thousands on taking pictures of the skies but not bad for someone who is starting out.

Poorly Designed USB Connector

The USB Connector is of very poor quality!!! The USB cable provided with the camera does not work at all.; When I used a different USB cable, the camera would work but then disconnected when the cable was touched. I returned the camera and Adorama kindly replaced it with a brand new unit which also exhibited the same defect.

Great camera for the money

This is a complete Solar System imaging package. There is the normal learning curve, focus can be touchy, but learning the capturing process you'll capture some Great images. For me and my scopes this is a real performer.

not what i wished for

i found out to my dismay this camera is not really compatible with the processor in my computer. i got it to work once or twice, but it's a known issue that the manufacturer doesn't really disclose. Adorama accepted it back and promptly refunded my money. i was also astonished by the speed with which this was delivered. i opted for two day shipping, ordered it on a wednesday and it was delivered the next afternoon. i'm sorry i couldn't use it as it has a good reputation.

Great camera for the money

Great little imager for just starting out.

By James H.

Great Imager for somebody just starting out like myself. Easy instructions to follow and not bad pictures. Nothing like someone who spends thousands on taking pictures of the skies but not bad for someone who is starting out.

Because you're ready to elevate your astrophotography experience, the Celestron NexImage 10 Solar System Color Imager is your ideal companion. As the first in the NexImage series to incorporate the advanced USB 3.0 SuperSpeed technology, this high-quality and durable device offers a seamless and efficient data transmission process.

Boasting a high-resolution 10-megapixel sensor, the NexImage 10 captures clear, detailed, and vibrant images of celestial bodies like never before. Its innovative design includes super small 1.67microm pixels, making it perfectly suited for smaller telescopes with shorter focal lengths, yet still capable of yielding tremendous planetary detail.

This user-friendly device is one of the most competitively valued, high-resolution USB 3 planetary imaging cameras on the market. It comes complete with Celestron's easy-to-use software suite, including the powerful iCap capture software and RegiStax stacking software, which are also included with Celestron's high-end Skyris cameras.

Simply aim your telescope at the Moon or a planet, record a quick video, and let the software do the rest. It meticulously analyzes each frame of the video, discards the fuzzy ones, and perfectly aligns the remaining images. The result is a bright, clear image brimming with color and detail.

The NexImage 10 is an excellent choice for beginners in astroimaging, especially those residing in light-polluted areas. If you can see the planet in the sky, you can image it with the NexImage 10! Now also compatible with Mac OS X, this advanced solar system color imager is designed to bring the universe closer to you.
