Same camera. Different telescope. A completely different photograph.
A camera has no field of view of its own, the telescope in front of it decides everything. Pick a target and watch the same 2.1-megapixel frame become three different images.
What it's best at — and the trade-offs.
The numbers, in plain English.
What it shines on.
Everything you'd actually buy.
How it scores, and why.
An excellent-value planetary camera: high frame rates, low read noise and strong sensitivity. Its small sensor and lack of cooling are exactly right for its job.
Polaris weighs how well the camera does the job it was designed for — image quality, sensitivity, versatility and value — never list price or brand.
An honest fit check.
Full specifications.
Tiny 2.9 µm pixels, very high QE and near-zero read noise let it rip off hundreds of frames a second; stack the sharpest and Jupiter snaps into detail. Remarkable capability for the price.
