SKYRAIDER
DS2.3PLUS-2.3 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.
