|
|
Outline
|
The SXVR-H35 is one of the largest cameras in the Starlight Xpress line of Kodak CCD
based imagers. The camera uses a two stage Peltier cooler in order to minimize the
negative effects of the dark signal. The CCD is cooled up to 40°C below ambient
temperature.

|
There is a new high-speed USB 2.0 interface circuit to speed up the download time.
The fast download minimises the visibility of bias frame artefacts, such as hot columns
and the top to bottom gradient that is commonly seen on such chips.
The SXVR-H36 and SXVR-H35, have a closely similar appearance.

Input and Output Ports
|
The camera has a built-in USB 2.0 interface that can transfer a single
frame in approximately 7 seconds. It also has a built-in autoguider interface and output -
compatible with the SXV-Autoguider, an optional dedicated external guide camera.

|
 |
Connecting the CCD camera to a computer.
|
Other connections include the built-in dual serial ports for accessory control that directly drive
filter wheels, GOTO telescopes etc. There is a single USB cable control for all the features
and a single computer is needed to control all of the devices and functions.
