Atik 11000 Monochrome Large Format CCD Camera w/ Kodak KAI-1002 Sensor ATK0046 Compatible with the highly acclaimed Capture software as well as MaximDL, CCDSoft and Astroart. A top-of-the-line camera, the ATIK 11000 is a Large-Format cooled CCD camera for astronomy and has a very high resolution. This camera is a product of extensive design and development. For the uncompromising user looking to create stunning high-resolution images, the Atik 11000 incorporates a huge 35mm x 24mm sensor. The ATIK 11000 uses the Kodak KAI-11002 CCD and comes in either One-Color Shot or Monochrome versions. Image results with the ATIK 11000 feature amazing detail and have the ability to be printed out at A3 size or beyond or conveniently enjoyed on a computer monitor. Usually ATIK cameras use Sony Sensors. For their Large-Format cameras, ATIK incorporates Kodak devices which have gained a great reputation in astrophotography and offer qualities not available in the Sony CCDs. Atiks expertise in design and build comes to the forefront with highly sophisticated control electronics and advanced cooling systems. Optimum performance from the Kodak chips is only obtained with such features. For calibration, the Kodak sensors require dark frames and they must be taken at the same temperature as the primary image. Using a single-stage Peltier element and fan, the ATIK 11000 achieves this through the provision of full, set-point, temperature regulation. This enables cooling to 38 degrees below ambient and is suitable for the majority of conditions. Water can be pumped through the cameras internal heat exchanger for more demanding use. The maximum amount of cooling depends on the water temperature when water cooling is employed. Approximately 45 degrees of cooling is available using water from a typical tap. Reducing the prevalence of hot pixels and cutting thermal noise to an absolute minimum is done with such efficient cooling. Ho
