iOptron iE5100 Planetarium Imager Color Eyepiece Camera (1.25")

The iE5100 Planetarium Imager Color Eyepiece Camera from iOptron is a digital imaging system that allows you to capture full-color astronomical images using a standard 1.25" eyepiece holder. The eyepiece adapter accepts most standard 1.25" filters for advanced imaging techniques. Using a 1/2.5" 5MP Micron color CMOS sensor and connecting to a computer via USB 2.0, images or video are streamed directly to the included software suite. The software allows you to store the images, stack, align, filter, and adjust them, to create a single high-quality picture. This software is compatible with Windows systems from XP through 8, Mac OS X, and Linux.

The camera offers a versatility that goes beyond extraterrestrial viewing. Drop it into a spotting scope with a 1.25" eyepiece holder or a telescope with an erecting prism and use it for digiscoping. With its standard C-mount threads, you can directly mount the camera to any compatible-threaded microscope or spotting scope. Using the same software, you can capture and create images of terrestrial or microscopic subjects. Whether you're interest is Mars and the rings of Saturn, boats and wildlife, or even a drop of pond water and cell walls, the iE5100 captures your subjects so you can share what you see with the world.
