Review on πŸ“Έ Capturing Crisp Planetary Images: Celestron NexImage 10MP Solar System Imager (93708) by Brian West

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Affordable astrophotography

NexImage 5MP is your ticket to the celestial theater if you want to share the glorious solar system with others. Now, it seems, for the first time, novice and professional astronomers can afford this package. The NexImage 5MP has a resolution of 5 megapixels and comes with a disc that allows you to set up your laptop or computer to capture starry sky images using iCap image editing software and RegiStax 6 stacking software. Stack them later with RegiStax 6 and choose the best of thousands of frames from iCap 2.3's many FPS recording options. The software chooses for you and have fun tracing the images to your liking. This was my first exposure to astrophotography after 36 years of astronomy and multiple telescopes. NexImage 5MP works with all my refractors and reflectors. I am a member of the AAVSO (American Association of Variable Star Observers) and have submitted several observations for data collection. This is a great deal and finally a chance to get high quality images of the solar system and record them cheaply. (Submitted images of the Moon and Saturn)

Pros
  • Easy for the elderly to understand
Cons
  • A little dated
