Description
You have your new telescope and have observed Saturn and Jupiter. Now you're ready to take the next step and start imaging them. But where do you begin? The Celestron NexImage 10 Solar System Imager is the perfect solution.
The NexImage 10 is our first NexImage series camera to incorporate USB 3.0 SuperSpeed! With more than ten million pixels coupled with high speed data transmission, the NexImage 10 produces clear and detailed planetary images like never before. With super small 1.67µm pixels, smaller telescopes with shorter focal lengths are still going to yield tremendous planetary detail. It’s one of the best valued, high-res USB 3 planetary imaging cameras on the market. Best of all, NexImage includes everything you need to get started, including Celestron's easy-to-use software suite. The iCap capture software and RegiStax stacking software are the same powerful programs included with Celestron's high-end Skyris cameras.
Simply point your telescope at the Moon or a planet and record a quick video. The software analyzes each frame of video, throws away the fuzzy ones, and perfectly aligns the remaining images. The result is a bright, clear image with the maximum amount of color and detail. NexImage 10 is a great way to get started with astroimaging, especially if you live in a light-polluted area. If you can see the planet in the sky, you can image it with NexImage 10!
Now Mac OS X compatible! Refer to oaCapture and Lynkeos downloads in the support section of this page.

FAQ
My NexImage camera is properly connected to my Windows 10 computer, but the camera is not recognized by the iCap software. How can I get iCap to recognize the camera so I can use the software to capture images?
For PCs running Windows 10 versions 1803 or newer, there is a camera privacy setting that grants permission to apps to access the camera. This needs to be enabled in Windows. To do this, go to Settings > Privacy > Camera, and turn on “Allow apps to access your camera.”
Are the NexImage cameras Mac OS compatible?
Yes, using the open source software provided under the Support & Downloads tab on this webpage. oaCapture is used for camera control, and Lynkeos is used for image processing. Please consult the “Open Source Software Installation – Mac OS” document also found under the Support & Downloads tab.
