Celestron offers a wide array of high-quality, affordable, and user-friendly planetary imagers!Click hereto learn more on how to choose an imager that's right for you.

Capture high-resolution planetary, lunar and solar images with almost any telescope with the NexImage 5 Solar System Imager. Combined with the included software package, NexImage 5 brings out tremendous detail and produces images rivaling those taken with astronomical cameras costing hundreds more.

Simply point your telescope at the Moon or a planet and record a quick video. The included software analyzes each frame of video, throws away the fuzzy ones, and perfectly aligns the remaining images. The result is a bright, clear image with the maximum amount of color and detail. NexImage 5 is a great way to get started with astroimaging, especially if you live in a light-polluted area. If you can see the planet the sky, you can image it with NexImage 5!

Leo S. ★★★★★

The software that filters out bad atmospheric frames is a huge time-saver—I used to spend hours manually sorting through footage. This little 5MP sensor captures crisp color images even on my mediocre telescope setup.

Abigail N. ★★★★★

The Micron DigitalClarity technology really cuts through the noise, giving me clean planetary images even on a night with mediocre seeing. The software's frame-filtering saved me hours of manual work, too.

Ella B. ★★★★★

Even through some wobbly atmosphere last night, the automatic frame-filtering in the software saved me hours of manual cleanup on my Jupiter captures. First time I’ve gotten that level of detail without fighting with bad frames all night.
