Customer Reviews (4.4 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Abigail ★★★★★

The 1280x960 resolution gives me surprisingly crisp planetary detail for such a small sensor. I was worried about the 3.75 micron pixels being too small, but they actually capture plenty of light for lunar imaging.

James ★★★★★

The compact size is perfect for my grab-and-go setup, and that AR0130CS sensor captures enough detail for lunar imaging. Paired with my existing setup, the 3.75 micron pixels give crisp results. I've been pleasantly surprised at the image quality given the small form factor.

Steven Y. ★★★★★

Took this out for a quick lunar session last night, and the 1280x960 resolution with those 3.75μm pixels really pulls in crisp detail on a small sensor. Body is tiny and lightweight, which made balancing my scope a lot easier. Only minor thing is the USB cable is short, but that's an easy swap.
