filter wheel for convenience when imaging through narrow band filters or anytime you
wish to use an external guider.
Canon EOS Lens Adapter
This adapter allows the use of Canon EOS camera lenses on STXL cameras equipped
with the standard filter wheel.
12VDC Power Cord
A 12VDC power cord is available for field operation directly from a battery.
12V Water Pump
A submersible pump is available for water cooling. It is only necessary to provide a
constant flow of water through the heat exchanger to achieve maximum cooling. Cooling
the water supply is generally not necessary but may be used for additional cooling if
desired. If you do not have a ready source of water this pump will work in the field from
12VDC.
1.3. Parts and Assembly
The front section of the camera body contains the CCD chamber, shutter, electronics, and
desiccant plug. The rear section contains the heat exchanger, fan, power supply for 12VDC
operation in the field, and fuse. The red front cover has a round black mounting plate with 3 inch
threads and dovetail shape. The front cover may be removed from the camera body without
exposing the CCD chamber to the air. The accessory plate is shimmed at the factory to provide a
flat mounting surface that is parallel to the CCD. Under normal use, it should not be removed. If
it is removed, please note the location of the shims around the screws holding the plate to the
front cover so that they may be replaced in the same configuration. The rear cover has rack
handles, fan and heat sink, plus ventilation slots for air circulation which should not be blocked
or covered. Two water circulation fittings are found on the side of the camera opposite the
power and other electrical connections.
