You have your new telescope and have observed Saturn and Jupiter. Now you're ready to take the next step and start imaging them. But where do you begin? The Celestron NexImage 10 Solar System Imager is the perfect solution.

The NexImage 10 is our first NexImage series camera to incorporate USB 3.0 SuperSpeed! With more than ten million pixels coupled with high speed data transmission, the NexImage 10 produces clear and detailed planetary images like never before. With super small 1.67µm pixels, smaller telescopes with shorter focal lengths are still going to yield tremendous planetary detail. It’s one of the best valued, high-res USB 3 planetary imaging cameras on the market. Best of all, NexImage includes everything you need to get started, including Celestron's easy-to-use software suite. The iCap capture software and RegiStax stacking software are the same powerful programs included with Celestron's high-end Skyris cameras.

Simply point your telescope at the Moon or a planet and record a quick video. The software analyzes each frame of video, throws away the fuzzy ones, and perfectly aligns the remaining images. The result is a bright, clear image with the maximum amount of color and detail. NexImage 10 is a great way to get started with astroimaging, especially if you live in a light-polluted area. If you can see the planet in the sky, you can image it with NexImage 10!

Celestron continues to develop innovative planetary imagers with The Imaging Source, a leading machine vision company who has been making astronomy cameras since 2007. CMOS technology by ON Semiconductor and Sony have since progressed rapidly and planetary imaging is more accessible with better performance than before.

This is our first NexImage camera to incorporate USB 3.0 SuperSpeed! And this camera needs it, because it is PACKED with pixels. More than ten million pixels. That may not seems like a lot compared to a consumer point-and-shoot camera, but in the planetary imaging world, it’s all about how much detail per pixel is seen. With super-small 1.67µm pixels, smaller telescopes with shorter focal lengths are still going to yield tremendous planetary detail. It’s one of the best valued high-res USB 3 planetary imaging cameras out there.
