DETAIL
The STC-7 (complete imaging system) can be easliy connected to your telescope via either the front T-Thread mount or the included 2″ focuser adapter. The integrated filter wheel design ensures minimal back-focus distance for maximum compatibility with modestsized refractors, and small catadioptric or Newtonian telescopes. The STC-7 package also includes MaxIm LT for Windows – all the software you need to take images, calibrate, stack, and do essential image processing. Other software is supported via included ASCOM drivers. Mac OS and Linux drivers are also available. For even better results, the STC-7 is compatible with our SBIG StarChaser SC-2 off-axis guide camera for accurate guiding of your telescope. The StarChaser also supports the SBIG AO-8A adaptive optics accessory, which helps you get pinpoint star images.
