Editorial note

The Celestron Skyris 236M is a camera that stands out for its exceptional image quality, thanks to its Sony IMX236LQJ CMOS (Monochrome) sensor offering a resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels. Its high frame rate of 200 fps allows for smooth video recording, making it a wise choice for users looking to capture fast movements. Additionally, it is compatible with various software such as iCap and IC Capture, which facilitates its integration into different work environments. However, the choice of a monochrome sensor may limit creative options for photographers eager to capture colors. While the resolution is adequate for many applications, it may not satisfy professionals seeking very high-definition images. Furthermore, although the lightweight of 102 g is an asset for portability, it can affect stability during prolonged use, especially when mounted on a telescope or tripod. Powering via USB port is convenient, but this can pose problems in situations where access to an electrical outlet is limited. The exposure range of 0.0001 to 10 seconds offers some versatility, but may not be suitable for all types of photography, particularly in low-light conditions. In summary, the Celestron Skyris 236M is an excellent choice for those looking for a high-performing camera for specific applications. However, its limitations in terms of sensor and power supply may not justify its price for all users.
