CCD camera user manual
Thank you for purchasing a Starlight Xpress CCD camera. We hope that you will be
very satisfied with the results. The SXVF-H16 is a high-resolution cooled CCD
camera, especially designed for astronomical imaging. The SXVF-H16 uses a Kodak
Interline CCD, with 2048 x 2048 pixels in a 15.1mm x 15.1mm active area. The use
of high performance microlenses on the CCD surface gives the greatest possible
throughput of light to the pixels and the resulting QE is very good over the entire
visible spectrum. Our new ‘F’ type USB2 interface hardware gives an exceptionally
fast download speed of about 2 megapixels per second, and so the SXVF-H16 can
download a full resolution 16 bit image in only 2.5 seconds.
