All Aluma CCD cameras include our powerful new SmartCooling technology. The two-stage cooler, powerful fans, and advanced heat sink designed using thermal flow simulation combine to produce typical cooling delta from ambient of -50C.  This is quite a feat considering the Aluma CCD’s very compact and lightweight package.

SmartCooling automatically adjusts the fan speed to optimize cooler performance and power consumption.  The camera’s firmware is constantly monitoring the sensor and heat sink temperatures, as well as controlling the cooler power.  When full cooling power is needed – when ramping down or running near full power – the fans ramp up to their maximum speed, resulting in the strongest possible cooling.  When less cooling power is needed the fans automatically slow to reduce noise levels and power consumption. SmartCooling also prevents any possibility of overheating by backing off power if the heat sink gets too hot – so you don’t need to worry if your camera is baking in a hot observatory during the day.

Advanced Software Included

All Aluma CCD cameras come with our MaxIm LT software – a $249 value!  MaxIm LT is a special version of our venerable MaxIm DL software that provides complete control of your camera, filter wheel, and autoguider, plus advanced image processing capabilities.  If you wish you can upgrade to MaxIm DL Pro to get complete observatory integration and even more processing and analysis capabilities.

Software Included

All Aluma CCD models ship with MaxIm LT for Windows – a special version of MaxIm DL specific to our cameras. Aluma also supports third-party applications through ASCOM and native drivers.

Compact and Lightweight Design

Aluma cameras measure just 4.25″ x 4.25″ x 4.0″ with handles (3.5″ without handles) and weigh just 2.2 lbs (1 kg).

Even-Illumination Shutter

All Aluma cameras include a mechanical shutter, which is used for both dark/bias calibration frames and for shuttering exposures on full frame sensors. Rather than using a complex iris shutter, which are prone to failure, the Aluma uses a twin vane shutter and direct drive motor for high repeatability, reliability, and extremely long life.  The shutter is designed to be “even illumination” for the best accuracy in photometric measurements.

The left image shows a flat field image taken with a camera using an iris type shutter. The right image is a flat field image taken under the same conditions using our even-illumination shutter.

High Performance KAF-8300 Image Sensor

The Aluma 8300 uses the popular 8 megapixel ON Semi (formerly Kodak) KAF-8300-AXC sensor. The sensor has 3448 x 2574 pixels at 5.4 microns square, for a 17.96 mm x 13.52 mm chip size.

This is a high sensitivity full frame CCD sensor with low dark current and low read noise.  Combining this high performance sensor with Aluma’s high cooling performance and low readout noise results in exceptionally clean images.

This sensor includes microlens technology that concentrates light on the sensitive area of each pixel.  The CCD’s sensitivity peaks in the center of the visible spectrum at 550 nm, and maintains high sensitivity throughout the visible spectrum.

A battery powered cloud sensor, perfect for those expeditions to dark-sky sites and star parties!

• Detects cloud and daylight
• Audible alert
• Battery powered
• Standalone operation
• Not intended for permanent installation

A beeping sound rouses you at 1 AM, and looking out of the tent you see it’s finally cleared off. You pop the tarp off your telescope, line up a shot, get the autoguider running, and start the exposure series going. You’re still pretty tired though, so you head back into the tent, comfortable in the knowledge that the Boltwood Portable Cloud Sensor will wake you up if the conditions deteriorate again.

The Portable Cloud Sensor is designed to alert you when the cloud conditions change. It consists of a sensor head and a control box, connected by a cable. The sensor head is placed outside, pointing up at an unobstructed sky. The control box can be conveniently located inside a tent or building, as needed. The control box includes batteries that will power the unit for over 100 hours, plus an alarm beeper, a headphone jack for “silent” alarms, and simple user controls.

The Portable Cloud Sensor measures the amount of cloud cover by comparing the temperature of the sky to the ambient ground level temperature. The sky temperature is determined by measuring the amount of radiation in the 8 to 14 micron infrared band. A large difference indicates clear skies, whereas a small difference indicates dense, low-level clouds. This allows the sensor to continuously monitor the clarity of the skies, and to alert the user when conditions change.

A built-in daylight sensor is also included. When the sensor is set to detect “Clear & Dark” conditions, it will alarm for clear skies unless the sun comes up first, in which case it lets you sleep in. When the sensor is set to detect “Cloudy or Light” conditions, it will alert you when clouds roll in or dawn approaches, so you can protect your telescope against the elements (including the sun!).

Although the Portable Cloud Sensor uses the same cloud detection technology as it’s big cousin, the Boltwood Cloud Sensor II, it is not designed for permanent installations. It does not detect rain/moisture, wind, or humidity. The sensor is gently heated to prevent dew or frost, but it does not have the power to clear itself after a rain shower; it must be wiped off. It cannot connect to a computer or trigger an observatory dome closure. For permanent installations please use the Boltwood Cloud Sensor II.

The control box, shown at left, can be conveniently located next to your pillow while you sleep. The simple user controls let you set the cloudy/clear threshold, set it to alarm for clear or cloudy conditions, and turn it on/off. On the side are two jacks; one for the sensor cable and one for optional headphones (not included).

Includes Sensor Head, Control Box, and Cable.

SBIG StarChaser SC-2 离轴引导相机

Diffraction Limited 的新款 SBIG StarChaser SC-2 是世界上第一台支持自适应光学技术的一体式独立离轴导星相机。StarChaser 独立于主相机运行。它结合了拾取镜、导星相机、导星口和自适应光学控制。

不要再因为主相机和导向器之间的弯曲而导致曝光失败而浪费时间。离轴导向通过对主相机和导向器使用相同的光路消除了这个问题。

大多数离轴导向器组件使用起来很不方便，占用太多后焦距，并且需要通过将相机滑入目镜支架内来进行对焦。SBIG 率先推出了简化的离轴导向器，将导向传感器内置在 CCD 相机中。后来，我们创造了自导式滤光轮，将导向传感器放置在光子掠夺窄带滤光片前方的光路中。StarChaser 是这一进程的下一步 - 一款具有 AO 功能的完全独立的导向相机。

注意：当使用 StarChaser 和 AO 时，您需要StarChaser 到 AO-X/AO-8T 适配器电缆。必要的适配器电缆包含在我们的StarChaser SC-3 / AO-X 套装和StarChaser SC-2 / AO-8A 套装中。

三种版本可供选择

StarChaserSC-2 专为与我们的紧凑型 SBIG 相机配合使用而设计。它支持AO-8A自适应光学单元。请参阅下表以了解与各种相机型号的兼容性。

适配器也可用于将 StarChaser 连接至旧式 STL 相机。对于具有较小传感器和内部滤光轮的 STL 相机，您可以使用带有适当适配器的SC-2。另一个适配器可用于连接 SC-3-SHORT，适用于具有较大传感器和外部滤光轮的 STL 相机。

下一代离轴导引

StarChaser 代表了我们新一代的离轴导向技术。它采用高灵敏度的 130 万像素全局快门 CMOS 传感器，像素大小为 4.8 微米。与同类自动导向器不同，StarChaser 配有机械快门，可轻松进行暗框校正。此功能是所有 SBIG 导向器的标准配置，可优化灵敏度并消除可能降低导向精度的热像素。

可通过松开锁定旋钮并将镜子滑入或滑出外壳来调整拾取镜位置。您可以避免主传感器产生晕影，同时优化进入导向传感器的光路。设置完成后，只需转动第二个旋钮即可调整焦点。

自适应光学控制

得益于 SBIG StarChaser 系列，我们著名的自适应光学 (AO) 技术现在几乎可用于我们整个相机系列！我们的 AO-8A（单独提供）用螺栓固定在 StarChaser SC-2 的前面。StarChaser 则安装在 SBIG 标准滤光轮和相机的前面。

自适应光学技术可消除常见的安装问题（如静摩擦、周期性误差和风荷载）导致的引导误差。它甚至可以减少“视差”效应，从而获得更高分辨率的图像。

轻薄且适应性强

STarChaser StarChase ST-2 SC-2 厚度仅为 0.800 英寸（20.3 毫米）。当连接到滤光轮时，现有的适配器板（厚度为 0.147 英寸/3.7 毫米）通常会从滤光轮移到 SC-2 的前面。当将 AO-8A 连接到 SC-2 的前面时，无需使用适配器板。

追星宣传册

StarChase SC-2 使用说明书

Most SBIG filter wheels require a direct connection to an SBIG camera to be operated. Some specialized imaging configurations either require additional filter wheels, or a direct SBIG camera connection is not possible.   In this case, the SBIG USB to Filter Wheel Adapter (USB-FW) can be used to control the wheel.

Note:  The USB-FW does not include mechanical adapters.  If the wheel is not directly coupled to an SBIG camera then custom mechanical adapters may be required.

Features

• USB Mini B interface, 15 foot (4.5 m) USB A to Mini B cable included
• DB-9 style I2C connector for filter wheel – connects to original filter wheel cable
• Universal AC power supply with 9 foot (2.7 m) extension cable and locking power connector included
• Uses ASCOM driver for control from most astronomical imaging software or via custom scripts
• Works with SBIG AFW series filter wheels, FW8S-STXL, FW8S-STT, FW8-8300, and FW7-STX.
• Supports dual wheel operation for the SBIG AFW series wheels

Note:  Older SBIG wheels with a DB-9 style I2C connector may also be compatible, but have not been tested with the USB-FW adapter and correct operation is not guaranteed.
