SmartCooling also prevents any possibility of overheating by backing off power if the heat sink gets too hot – so you don’t need to worry if your camera is baking in a hot observatory during the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAdvanced Software Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll Aluma CCD cameras come with our MaxIm LT software – a $249 value!  MaxIm LT is a special version of our venerable MaxIm DL software that provides complete control of your camera, filter wheel, and autoguider, plus advanced image processing capabilities.  If you wish you can upgrade to MaxIm DL Pro to get complete observatory integration and even more processing and analysis capabilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIncluded Accessories\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach Aluma CCD camera package includes:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaxIm LT software – please use\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/diffractionlimited.com\/maxim-lt-registration\/\"\u003ethis form\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eto request your license\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeluxe carrying case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUniversal power supply (110V \/ 220V, 50-60 Hz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2″ Nosepiece adapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB flash drive containing software, drivers, and documentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e15 foot (4.5 m) USB cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOptional Micron-Precision Filter Wheel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe optional FW8S-Aluma 8-position filter wheel includes a positive centering mechanism that precisely centers each filter in the exact same position every time.

The OAG contains relay optics that move the guide camera to the side of the imaging camera, and at the same time, a 0.7X reducer effectively doubles the field of view of the guider.
