Atik 16 ICS:

MORE AND BIGGER PIXELS AT AN AFFORDABLE PRICE

Building on its highly successful older brother the Atik 16IC, and in response to our users' requests for a bigger sensor with bigger pixels, the Atik 16IC-S offers versatility coupled with outstanding performance.

The camera has one of the lowest readout noise figures in the field, and is much less prone to the increase of hot pixels than competing models. What's more, its Sony ICX415AQ progressive-scan sensor overcomes the "Venetian blind" effect common to interlaced CCDs, which can be particularly noticeable in the short-exposure images which are often taken by beginners. The Atik 16IC-S can accommodate a wide range of telescope focal lengths, making it a truly versatile imaging companion.

With 16-bit analog-to-digital conversion, high-efficiency thermoelectric cooling, a high-transmission BK7 optical window, and a low-vibration magnetic levitating fan, the Atik 16IC-S has been designed and built with the needs of the serious astro-imager in mind. Even the power consumption is kept to an absolute minimum - 550mA at 12V DC - allowing you to get the most out of every observing session.

What's more, there's an ST4-compatible auto guiding port to allow you to extend your exposure lengths without being limited by telescope tracking errors.

Whatever your experience level or the constraints of your other equipment now, the Atik 16IC-S will be your astrophotography companion for a long time to come.
