DS2.3PLUS-2.3 Megapixel
DS16c-16 Megapixel
The SkyRaider DS2.3PLUS video/imager/autoguider is the newest in
the SkyRaider family of astronomical video/imaging cameras. It includes
the very latest Sony EXmor CMOS sensor to deliver the increased
sensitivity needed for astronomical observation and imaging. The new
SkyRaider DS2.3PLUS is ready for the most demanding applications
in video/imaging astronomy, excelling at live observing of both deep-sky
and solar system objects. The MallinCam SkyRaider DS2.3PLUS is the
most versatile video/imaging camera ever created for computer use.
Astronomical objects can be observed live while images are captured
or video is being recorded.

The DS2.3PLUS utilizes a 2.38 effective megapixel, ceramic CMOS
sensor. The sensor measures 13.4mm diagonally. The camera delivers
high-resolution images using all telescope types, and an optional focal
reducer further increases the ﬁeld of view needed for those spectacular
large astronomical objects. The EXview HAD is borrowed from Sony's
CCD sensor line, called EXmor. The CMOS sensor has signiﬁcantly
improved sensitivity and has square 5.86 μm unit pixels with a high
signal-to-noise ratio. The ceramic CMOS sensor used in the SkyRaider
DS2.3PLUS is the very latest technology and the latest in high-tech
sensors, with CCD-like performance.
Using USB 3 technology, the MallinCam SkyRaider DS2.3PLUS
delivers near instantaneous download speeds to the computer, perfect
for displaying live images, capturing long and short exposures or
recording video ﬁles. A fan-assisted passive cooling system ensures
sensor temperature stability and super-low noise ratio.
By utilizing the MALLINCAM SKY Software application's Dark Field
Correction feature, an internal Peltier cooler (TEC) is not needed.
This results in the use of only a single cable from the camera to the
computer's USB 3 port. The Dark Field Correction feature removes
all hot pixels, warm pixels and amp glow and keeps dark current noise
low on the ﬂy, making this premier astronomy camera the ideal choice
in the ﬁeld or in an observatory. The Dark Field Correction technology
has been implemented by MallinCam for all its SkyRaider Series of
cameras, eliminating the need for a Peltier cooler. Additionally, the
new Live Stacking feature allows star registration to take place and
further increases the signal-to-noise ratio, making it possible to
keep exposures super-short and usable with an Alt-Az mounted
motorized telescope, with excellent results in live mode or full
imaging mode.
If you are looking for the ultimate latest technology in an
electronic assisted astronomy (EAA) camera system, large
13.4mm (diagonal) sensor, sealed optical multi-coated
window, T mount and C mount included, look no further.
The professional-grade MallinCam SkyRaider DS2.3PLUS
camera delivers results that no other camera on the market
can match in its price range. And it's a MallinCam-a leader in
live video astronomy and imaging technology.
