Remote
Guiding Head The remote guiding head contains a cooled, 16 bit 657x495 TC-237H CCD indentical to internal self-guiding CCD in the STL camera body. The remote head is equipped with t-threads on the front cover and it will accept the eFinder assembly for guiding, a camera lens adapter, a T to C adapter, or the provided 1.25" nosepiece for use with an external guide scope. The external guider will also control the AO-L when used with an off-axis assembly or pellicle splitter. Part # MS-REMOTEHDSTL |

LRGBC, UBVRI
and Narrowband Filters 50mm drop in filters are offered for the STL series cameras to minimize vignetting with the largest (35mm format) CCDs. Red, Green, Blue, plus Clear and Luminance filters for color imaging are available. UBVRI filters are available for photometric studies. H-alpha, O[III] and S[II] filters are available for narrow band imaging of emisison nebula. More info... |
|
Extra Filter
Carousel For changing an entire set of 5 filters at once, the internal STL filter carousel can be easily removed and replaced with a new one containing a different filter set. For instance, the standard LRGBC color filters may be quickly exchanged for a UBVRI set or a narrow band set for emission line objects. The carousel fits neatly inside the front cover of the camera. The sealed CCD chamber and shutter are not disturbed when changing filters or the filter carousel. Part # MS-FLTR WH STL |

8 Position Filter Wheel for STL Replacement front cover for STL camera with internal filter wheel holding eight 2" filters. Carousel accepts both 2" unmounted filters and 2" filters in 48mm threaded cells, or any combination of the two. Part # FW8-STL |
 |
AO-L Adaptive
Optics The AO-L was designed for the larger CCDs used in the Research Series cameras. The AO-L uses a transmissive correcting element instead of a reflecting element. The full scale correction rate is slower than the AO-7 at about 5 - 10 Hz, but individual moves are actually made quicker. An accessory element is planned for the AO-L that will also correct for atmospheric extinction when imaging away from the zenith. More info... Part # AO-L |

Nikon 35mm
Camera Lens Adapter This adapter mates the STL series cameras with Nikon 35mm camera lenses for wide field imaging. Part # CLA-L-NIKON |
 |
90-240VAC
Universal Power Supply The STL universal power supply provides the required 12VDC to the camera from typical line voltages found around the world. A separate cord is included with regional plug for N. America or Europe / Asia. This is the same power supply that is included with all current models of STL cameras. The output connector is 6 pin DIN. (Note that this is not compatible with the ST-7/8/9/10/2000 cameras which require both 5 volts and 12 volts out and use a 5 pin connector). Part # |
 |
Power Supply
Extension Cable This 6 pin DIN to 6 pin DIN cable extends the power cord from the STL power supply to the camera by approximately 9 feet (~2.7m). The standard power cable that is attached to the power brick is about 6 feet long so this heavy duty extension cable will increase the total length to approximately 15 feet (4.5 m). It is custom made with heavy gauge conductor for minimum voltage loss. (Note, this extension cable is not compatible with the power supply for the ST-7/8/9/10/2000 cameras). Part # 51733 |
 |
12VDC Power
Cord with Cigaretter Lighter Adapter This cable is used to directly power the STL camera from a 12VDC source using a cigarette lighter plug. Part # CA-STLBATPWRCA |
 |
Water Pump
and Tubing This 12VDC submersible water pump may be used with any ST-7/8/9/10/2000 camera equipped with the water circulation heat exchanger. Most models have this feature, except for some of the "I" models where it is an option. Water circulation results in a greater cooling delta from ambient and is desireable in areas where it remains very warm at night. Part # MS-WATER STL |
 |
110VAC to
12VDC power supply for 12V Water Pump This wall transformer is equipped with the proper polarity plug for powering the 12VDC submersible water pump (above). It is the same power supply and plug used with the ST-402ME, ST-1603ME and ST-3200ME cameras Part # 51686 |
 |
Relay Adapter The relay adapter box converts the ST-7/8/9/10/2000 electronic relays to mechanical relays. Most commercially available mounts such as those from Software Bisque, AP, Meade and Celestron do not require mechanical relays, but others, such as the classic Losmandy G-11 do require some other form of electrical isolation between the camera and the mount. If you are not sure, check with your mount manufacturer. Part # MS-RELAYCONNECT |
 |
Tracking
Cable This replacement 6-pin RJ-11 to RJ-11 cable connects the camera to the autoguider ("CCD") port of your telescope drive. It is supplied with all STL cameras. Part # 50711 |
 |
ST-L-RC
Adapter Plug This adapter is supplied with all STL series cameras. It plugs into the 9 pin "AO/CFW/SCOPE" port on an STL camera and accepts an RJ-11 to RJ-11 Tracking Cable that connects the camera to your telescope drive's autoguider ("CCD") port. The adapter supplied with the camera and may appear slightly different from the photo Part # 50706 Note: This adapter is Identical to ST-7-RC |
 |
Quick
Release Water Fittings These fittings are replacement parts for those supplied with the STL cameras. They mate to the water inlet and outlet on the bottom of the camera body and provide a quick and easy way to attach and detach the water circulation tubing to the camera for additional cooling performance. Part # 51242 |

Pelican
Carrying Case This is a replacement case with custom cut foam for your STL series camera and accessories will hold an STL camera, remote guide head, cables, and accessories. The case is waterproof, dustproof, and crushproof and comes with a lifetime guarantee from Pelican. It is included as a standard accessory for current STL series cameras. More info... Part # MS-CASE STL |
