The Art-424c

The Art-424c may prove to be a very interesting camera especially for planetary imaging. It uses the very low noise ICX424 CCD in its RGB filtered guise. Download speeds are considerably slower than a webcam but digitisation is to 16 bits and the camera is optimised for giving high quality uncompressed images.

Please note that adaptor boards for this CCD are not included in the kit. If you are interested in using the ICX424 please contact us before ordering a kit.
