About Starlight Xpress SUPERSTAR

The Starlight Xpress Superstar High Resolution Mono CCD Autoguider is essentially a higher resolution version of the hugely successful Starlight Xpress Lodestar making it an excellent choice for guiding through short focal length refractors. Primarily intended as a high performance guider but will also serve as an electronic finder and planetary imaging camera! It is suitable for most mounts with a standard autoguider input and as small as a 1.25" eyepiece!.
