The ASA is married up to some of the finest cameras and filters available, externally guided by an ST-402 ME and eFinder, the 11M 4008 x 2672 pixel FLI PL11002M Class 1 CCD can achieve a SNR of up to 3000 at magnitude 10 on a night of excellent seeing. The 12 position filterwheel carries a full suite of Astrodon color, photometric and narrowband 3nM filters.
