You\'ll also appreciate the camera\'s fast frame rate when taking pictures of fast-paced events in the solar system like lunar occultations, transits, and eclipses. The StarShoot 5 MP Camera\'s exposure range of 0.001 second to 5 seconds 999 milliseconds, Progressive Scan functionality, and 8-bit A/D conversion will provide admirable results during every lunar or planetary astrophotography session.
The included Orion-exclusive EZPlanCap software is compatible with computers running Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10 and Mac OS X Lion, Mountain Lion or later. EZPlanCap features a useful Auto Dark Frame Removal tool to remove any hot pixels and noise from live-view images. This tool provides a much more pleasing live-view on your computer while you\'re in the field, and also cleans up the image data you capture for better quality images overall. You can choose to save your images in TIF, BMP, JPG, or PNG formats; and save video footage as AVI (Windows) or MOV (Mac).
With a wide selection of resolution settings (2592x1944, 1280x960, 640x480, 320x240 and 160x120) and binning modes (2x2, 4x4, 8x8 and 16x16), the StarShoot 5 MP Solar System Camera works well with telescopes of all sizes.

The camera\'s metal body features a 1.25\" nosepiece which is threaded for use with 1.25\" Orion filters and it lets you easily insert the StarShoot 5 MP Solar System Camera into any telescope\'s focuser. A built-in infrared cutoff filter (IR-Cut) helps optimize imaging results.
