The lightest vibration-canceller binoculars with 422 g (as of November 2017 by our company survey). It is lightweight binoculars equipped with vibration-canceller mechanism. Extremely stable field of view can be obtained even with hands thanks to the powerful vibration-canceller effect. You can observe everything in detail such as the shine of the bird's eyes and the pattern of the feathers and enjoy the live feeling as watching nearby.

Features

The incorporated vibration-canceller mechanism assures very stable image

Vibration by hands makes it often difficult to see cearly objects particularly at high magnification. ATERA H12x30 incorporates a vibration-canceller mechanism with a 2-axis gimbal control image stabilization mechanism. With a strong correction effect of vibration correction angle ± 3 degrees (up, down, left and right), a stable field of view can be obtained even at a high magnification of 12 times. Since micro vibration is also cancelled, it outperforms in observing details such as the shine of bird's eyes and the pattern of feathers. Also, if you observe a star, you can observe up to the darkest star as much as 1st grade than ordinary, which can not be seen with blurring.

Lightest 422g design
allows operating by singl hand

The 422g light weight as binoculars equipped with vibration cancelling mechanism . You do not feel tired even using for a long time.

Stamina 12 hours duration with AAA batteries

Two AAA batteries are used for power supply. Since it is easy to obtain anywhere, it is safe to observe in the field and live in remote areas.Thanks to the stamina design of operation time around 12 hours (using a new alkaline dry battery at 20 ° C), you can focus on observation without worrying about battery consumption.Auto power off function which automatically turns off the power after 5 minutes elapses prevents wasteful battery drain.

Clear visibility by three coatings

By applying fully multi coating with anti-reflection multilayered coat on the entire lens surface, the phase coat on the prism that reduces halation and dramatically increases resolution, and a high reflection coat that increases the brightness of the image, stray light and loss of light intensity are thoroughly eliminated for an extreme clarity in the field of view.

Ergonomically desinged for excellent operability

A gentle rounded form fitting to a small hands, a focus ring that can be turned smoothly with light touch by single finger, a universal design that does not choose dominant hands, locating a battery space away from finger-touch area, all designed for holding comfort without stress. Considering loss of parts in a dark place such as a concert venue, we designed battery lid integrated.

Fashionable but simple design

Simple and smooth form gentle to hands, light beige color coordinated. It is a full-fledged mechanicics incorporating vibration-canceller mechanism, neutral design easy to coordinate to various fashion. An elegant and restless gloss feeling directs fashionable casually.

Mini-toto included

It comes with a mini tote bag type case. With a purse straw, the strap that tends to get in the way is also stored entirely. It fits neatly in the bag

Pixfra Mile 2 Thermal Monocular: creating new pathways for birding and conservation

Thermal imaging is changing the way we observe and count birds in their natural environment - at all times of the day or night, without intrusive lighting or disturbance.

Any birder knows there's often times when birds are hidden from view, either by foliage or the time of day. It becomes even more frustrating when bird counts are needed to estimate population or species locations for conservation efforts and protection and they simply can't be properly seen. 

In situations like this, no matter how powerful the binoculars you're using, the birds will remain hidden.

Thermal imaging devices lets you "see"  birds via the heat their bodies produce - revealing them in bushes and trees or when there's simply not enough natural light otherwise.

Features

General

Our high performance Aluma^® CCD Series cameras offer capabilities and features not available in any other scientific-grade imaging camera.  This lightweight (2.2 lbs) and compact (4.5″ x 4.5″ x 4″ with handles) camera includes two-stage cooling, USB 2.0 interface, ultra-reliable even-illumination shutter, and fast low-noise readout.

The Aluma CCD series supports a wide range of accessories, including the 8-position AFW-8-36R filter wheel.

The Aluma CCD77-00 has an extremely high sensitivity, 260,000 pixel back-illuminated CCD sensor with 24 micron pixels.  These are research-grade cameras designed for longer focal length instruments typically with apertures greater than 40 cm.

Aluma CCD is a new generation of research cameras tuned for even better performance. Over two years of collaboration with university researchers helped us bring you an enhanced new Aluma CCD series that represent the ultimate in a high-performance mid-sized 16-bit CCD detector. Using E2V’s best-in-class research grade back-illuminated sensors, the Aluma CCD77-00 gives you the high sensitivity, low noise, and high well depth needed for the most demanding research applications.

Aluma CCD Features include:

• High-performance CCD imaging sensors currently manufactured by SONY and Teledyne E2V
• Light weight, compact design
• Centered optical axis for optimum instrument balance
• Ultra reliable even-illumination (photometric) mechanical shutter
• USB 2.0 interface
• Full frame image buffering eliminates readout artifacts
• 2-Stage TE cooling with typical -50C from ambient
• Twin variable speed fans with SmartCooling^TM technology
• High accuracy temperature regulation
• Built-in RBI Pre-flash (full frame front-illuminated sensors only)
• External TTL trigger inputs and output
• Included 110V / 220V power supply and optional 12VDC operation
• User-rechargeable desiccant plug
• Built-in 1/4-20 tripod mount
• Support for high precision 8-position filter wheels
• Bulletproof firmware update capability – virtually impossible to “brick”

Software Included

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

Compact and Lightweight Design

Aluma CCD 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 CCD 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 CCD 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.

Extreme Sensitivity CCD 77-00 Image Sensor

The Aluma CCD77-00 uses the 0.26 megapixel E2V CCD 77-00 sensor, featuring peak quantum efficiency (QE) of 93% with midband coatings.  This full frame, back-illuminated sensor is designed for the ultimate in sensitivity.  We offer Midband coating for the highest quantum efficiency.  Other coatings are available on special order.

CCD 77-00 Quantum Efficiency Curves

The CCD 77-00 has 512 x 512 pixels at 24 microns square, for a 12.3 mm square chip size.

This back-illuminated full-frame CCD sensor has extremely low noise and extremely high sensitivity. Combining this high-performance sensor with Aluma CCD’s high cooling performance and low readout noise results in exceptionally clean images.

SmartCooling^TM

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.

Included Accessories

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。
