Used Celestron NexImage 10MP - Solar System Imager - LOOSE GLASS COVER

Condition: This is a NexImage 10 in "great" condition with a clean sensor and body. It comes with the cable and instruction manual, in its original box. HOWEVER, the rectangular piece of glass covering the sensor is loose. It moves around in front of the sensor. See the photos, where you can see this glass in different positions. This probably has no impact on its operation, but we just don't know. If you can get some tweezers in there and remove that piece of glass, you’ll save yourself a TON of money. We have taken this rather significant defect into consideration in the pricing: this is more than EIGHTY PERCENT off of the new price. There are no returns on this item. Description: Easy to use color camera, provides live video for quick focusing 3856 x 2764-pixel array with small pixels, provides high resolution images Includes Celestron iCap software for image capture and export Includes RegiStax stacking software that automatically filters the best images, aligns, and stacks your planetary images You have your new telescope and have observed Saturn and Jupiter. Now you're ready to take the next step and start imaging them. But where do you begin? The Celestron NexImage 10 Solar System Imager is the perfect solution. The NexImage 10 is our first NexImage series camera to incorporate USB 3.0 SuperSpeed! With more than ten million pixels coupled with high speed data transmission, the NexImage 10 produces clear and detailed planetary images like never before. With super small 1.67µm pixels, smaller telescopes with shorter focal lengths are still going to yield tremendous planetary detail. It’s one of the best valued, high-res USB 3 planetary imaging cameras on the market. Best of all, NexImage includes everything you need to get started, including Celestron's easy-to-use software suite. The iCap capture software and RegiStax stacking software are the same powerful programs included with Celestron's high-end Skyris cameras. Simply point your telescope at the Moon or a planet and record a quick video. The software analyzes each frame of video, throws away the fuzzy ones, and perfectly aligns the remaining images. The result is a bright, clear image with the maximum amount of color and detail. NexImage 10 is a great way to get started with astroimaging, especially if you live in a light-polluted area. If you can see the planet in the sky, you can image it with NexImage 10! Now Mac OS X compatible!
