Altair hypercam 26c From ordering to recieving my camera was really quick. It was well packed so no damage. The camera is the best bit of kit i've ever purchased. The photos i've obtained so far with very little darkness and poor seeing, far exceed my attempts with a dslr. (09/06/2024) Steve - Pembrokeshire
Great camera - great price Ive been wanting an IMX571 for a while. Gain 100 seems to be fine for DSO. Same BF as ZWO. This new model (not pictured) takes a bolt on ZWO EFW (2in). I use the rings from my ASI294 to get 55mm. Works out of box with both N.I.N.A and Kstars using native drivers (5 sessions already). Top marks. (12/09/2023) nick - merseyside
