plug it in and "see" through your telescope
With our Revolution imager, all you have to do is make some simple connections and you can use the power of the most modern technology to see on the included color monitor the mountains, valleys and seas of The Moon. Easily change the exposure of the video camera and seamlessly go to seeing the reds and greens of Nebulosity or even the spiral arms of The Whirlpool Galaxy. All from your backyard using the amazing sensitivity of the most modern Sony imaging chips and built in live automated video processing. You will be blown away at what even the most modest tracking telescopes will show you in just a few seconds of exposure!
The Revolution Imager also allows you to see for yourself some of the most awesome astronomical objects that appear in the news without the hubble telescope, but with your telescope in your backyard, for example:
- Asteroid 2015-TB145 which made a close buzz by Earth was captured with a 4" telescope in a suburban backyard.
- Star KIC8462852 which has seen a lot of press due to the theories surrounding it's interesting light pattern was captured with a 6" telescope in the same backyard.
- ... and thousands of Messier and "NGC" catalog objects! Here's some example images, or click here to see for yourself!

"The RI may be the most exciting $300 astronomy purchase I've ever made. I could barely sleep last night after viewing M51, M81, M82 and Jupiter on my first evening with the new gear. I've been in the hobby since 1960 and last night was the first time I experienced the same awe as I did the first time I "discovered" Saturn. R. R. From Tennessee, USA Thanks a lot. I'm really looking forward to using it for our astronomy outreach.......and just to show you that you CAN teach old dogs new tricks...I'm a 72 year old Lady! I really love the new technologies that are coming out now. I've been waiting for something like this very item and, when one of the other people in our club showed up at our last star party with this, I just HAD to have it!! Susan G. |
“ I do believe that the Revolution package will shake-up and wake up new interest in amateur astronomy. One does not have to pack up and drive a distance to get remarkable results. Neighbors' lights are no longer a problem (other than for the ecology).
My neighbor was astounded by some images I showed him on the spot, and was as surprised at the low cost (value) of the video components.
This has definitely rekindled the fire of discovery I felt in prior years, as I hope it will for many others. “
