QSI
583 Scientific Cooled CCD Camera
The QSI 583 sets a new benchmark for price performance in a scientific camera utilizing the 8.3mp Kodak full-frame KAF-8300 CCD image sensor with microlens technology. The high quantum efficiency, wide dynamic range and low noise performance make the 583 ideally suited to a broad range of demanding astronomical, scientific and industrial imaging applications.
The 500 series sets a new benchmark for compact design and power efficiency in a high performance, full-featured scientific CCD camera. Because the optional internal color filter wheel is positioned so close to the focal plane, the QSI 583 can utilize standard 1.25" color filters, dramatically reducing the cost of the total imaging system.
The QSI 583 camera system is supported by industry leading image acquisition software and development tools are available for creating custom Windows or Linux imaging applications.
The QSI 583wsg is available with an Integrated
Guider Port (IGP) allowing you to guide using the light from your main
telescope while picking off the light from the guide star in front of the
filters.

For amateur astronomers currently imaging with
a digital SLR, the QSI 583 provides a huge step up in image quality.
With the increased sensitivity and much lower
noise of the 583 you can capture many more images in the same night
with comparable quality to what you're used to
today, or capture images with much higher signal to noise ratio in the
same amount of time. Make the most of your dark
time! Color and mono versions are available.
