efficiency, low dark current, and extremely high full well capacity.
* Prices include Apogee TE cooled camera head, CCD, 5m cable, international power supply & ActiveX driver.
* *When ordering camera, please designate your choice of output amplifier. Choose DR, for low noise, or High DR, for a higher
full well capacity but more noise. The price shown is based on full payment at the time of order. Scroll down to read more about

In order to take advantage of the discounted pricing advertised on Woodland Hills Telescope's website, Apogee
requires payment in full at the time of order. This pre-payment is required regardless of whether the camera is readily available
or there is a lead-time, since WHCT is required to pay the full amount due when we place your order.
If you'd like to order this camera without prepaying, that's not a problem, but the price will be a bit higher. To find out what
the price would be, you can call WHCT at 1-888-427-8766 or email our
, and we will provide pricing and lead times, if any.
