Selling my beloved Atik Horizon Mono. This is really an amazing little camera. I used it on my Hyperstar C14 telescope that I no longer image with. I held onto this camera planning to continue using it, but that was several years ago now and just never did. It worked flawlessly the last time I used it but I did just plug it in just to make sure it still powers on, etc, and it all is good to go.
Original box, cables, etc.
Asking $500 OBO. I'll negotiate shipping and PP fees.
Here are some details and specs from Atik:
The Atik Horizon is the first Atik CMOS Camera. It houses a 16MP sensor with exceptionally low read noise and incredibly fast read speeds. This makes it a great option if you’re looking to upgrade from DSLR, or have system that would benefit from shorter exposure times.
- 16MP 4/3″ CMOS sensor
- 256mb DDR3 Image Buffer
- ~1e- Read Noise
- Cooling ΔT=>-40°C
- USB 3.0
Atik is already known for low-noise electronics, the Horizon has Atik's lowest read noise yet – just ~1e- at high gain settings. The 3.8µm pixel size is an excellent match for shorter focal lengths and camera lenses; great news if you’re looking for a wide field of view.
Mechanically, the Horizon is based on Atik's estblished 4-Series cameras, known for their power and adaptability. With a cyclindrical case measuring 74mm in diameter and 130mm in length, it’s compatible with Celestron's HyperStar systems. The slight size increase on the 4-Series is to house a huge cooling delta of -40°C below ambient. This keeps thermal noise under control, wherever in the world you image from.
