PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Advanced Planetary Imaging Bundle is a professional-class platform optimized for extreme resolution on the Moon and planets. The Celestron SCT 11" OTA supplies large aperture and long focal length for diffraction-limited detail, while the Celestron CGX-L Mount provides high payload capacity and rock-solid tracking for long capture runs.
The imaging core is the ZWO ASI174MM monochrome camera—renowned for high frame rates, global shutter behavior, and exceptional sensitivity. A ZWO 5-Position EFW and ZWO LRGB 1.25" Filter Set enable precise RGB planetary composites, while the ZWO IR Bandpass Filter adds seeing-resilient luminance detail. The ZWO Atmospheric Dispersion Corrector (ADC) corrects color fringing at lower altitudes, and the ZWO EAF ensures repeatable, temperature-compensated focus.
Workflow automation and cable simplification are handled by the ZWO ASIAIR Mini—managing capture sequences, plate solving for centering, and device control from a tablet or phone. This bundle is engineered for serious planetary imagers who value consistency and scientific-grade results.
