The Celestron NexImage Burst Color is a powerful astrophotography camera designed for capturing high-resolution images and videos of the Moon, planets, and the Sun. It is ideal for both beginners and advanced hobbyist astrophotographers and can be used with nearly any telescope.

The camera features the sensitive Aptina AR0132 CMOS sensor, allowing for detailed color images without the need for additional color filters. With high frame rates of over 120 frames per second in crop mode, even fine planetary details can be captured sharply.

The included software automatically analyzes the recorded videos, removes blurry frames caused by atmospheric turbulence, and combines the best frames into a clear, detailed final image.

Thanks to its standard 1.25-inch connection and additional C-thread, the NexImage Burst is compatible with many telescopes. It is excellent for capturing images of Jupiter, Saturn, lunar craters, or sunspots with an appropriate solar filter.
