The NexImage 5MP is your ticket to the heavenly theater if you want to share with others the magnificent Solar System. Now, it seems, for the first time, novice and pro backyard astronomers can afford this package. The NexImage 5MP is 5 mega pixels strong, and comes with a disc to set up your laptop or computer with iCap imaging software and RegiStax 6 stacking software. Hook the NexImage 5MP directly to your eyepiece adapter on your telescope, attach the USB to your device, and automatically or manually start capturing celestial images. Stack them later with RegiStax 6 by choosing the best out of thousands of frames from the many featured FPS capturing capabilities of iCap 2.3. The software chooses for you, then have fun contouring the images to your liking. This was my first introduction to astrophotography after 36 years of astronomy and observing with multiple telescopes. The NexImage 5MP works with all of my refractors and reflectors. I belong to the AAVSO (American Association of Variable Star Observers) and have submitted several observations for data collection. This is a great deal and finally a chance for high quality images of the Solar System to be captured and recorded for a low price. (Pictures submitted are of the Moon and Saturn)

I just received my NexImage 10 Cam and found this is super easy to use if you follow these steps. First and foremost don’t use the disk with software on it, it needs to go in the trash. The software is just way to old.Go to the ICap site and download the newest Drivers and Software for this camera. Once that’s done install the new drivers and a new copy of ICap, in that order. If you don’t update your drivers first you may have issues having the camera recognized when you open ICap. You can also use other software like FireCap. So far my new Cam is up and running within minutes.Don’t shy away from this camera, it’s a good camera for newbies and experienced alike. And one other bit of information, make sure to use the USB3 port on your computer. My USB3 port(s) are marked with SS and the USB symbol.Its all very easy, just make sure that you don’t use the disk in the box and DO use the NEW drivers and Software on the ICap site.My computer is an older laptop running Windows 10, I am guessing that Windows 11 would be just as easy. Sorry I don’t know how to set this up on a Mac but I bet that the steps are the same or very close.My only issue with this camera is the old software included in the box. Clear skies….
