Manual of product Skyris 236C
Editorial note
The Celestron Skyris 236C is a camera that stands out for its exceptional image quality thanks to its Sony Exmor IMX236 CMOS sensor. With a resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels and a maximum frame rate of 200 fps, it offers smooth and detailed shots, ideal for astronomy and photography enthusiasts. Its compatibility with various software such as iCap and IC Capture allows for easy integration, making it versatile and accessible. However, while the product performs well, its resolution may not satisfy professional users looking for higher quality images. Additionally, its lightweight of 102 g, while advantageous for portability, can affect stability when mounted on certain telescopes. The exposure range of 0.0001 to 10 seconds may also limit shooting in low-light conditions or for specific effects. Powering via USB port, while convenient, may restrict its use in the field without access to a power source. Overall, the Celestron Skyris 236C offers good value for money with its interesting features, but some users may need additional configurations for optimal use. The user experience is generally positive, supported by a clear user manual and good software compatibility, although the few mentioned limitations should be taken into account.Score details
