Camera Body
The STXL Series Camera Body incorporates an imaging CCD, two-stage cooling, high-
speed USB interface, Ethernet interface and opto-isolated relays for telescope control. An
accessory plate with 3” threaded aperture is fixed to the front of the camera body for
attaching to your telescope adapter. Due to the large size of some CCDs used in the
STXL series cameras, a 2” nosepiece is too small to use without vignetting the image.
Rack handles are also attached to the camera body at the factory. In addition to making
the camera easier to handle in the dark, these handles also protect the fan housing when
the camera is placed on a flat surface or when it is packed in its carrying case.
Universal Power Supply
The STXL's universal power supply enables operation of the camera from 100 to
240VAC, 50-60 Hz. Note that the power supply has a different pin configuration than the
camera power port. The supplied extension power cable must be used between the power
supply and the camera. This extension cable provides the correct pinout for the camera.
Use only the power supply provided with the STXL camera. The earlier model STL
cameras also have a 6 pin power port, however the power supplies provided with STL
cameras do not provide sufficient current to operate the STXL series cameras.
