Lake Success-based Canon U.S.A. says it has introduced a new specialty camera for astrophotographers that can capture crisp images of planets and stars, and "magnificent photographs of 'red hydrogen emission' nebulae and other cosmic phenomena."
The digital single lens reflex camera "caters to astronomers and hobbyists who enjoy capturing the beauty of the night sky by offering a modified infrared filter and a low-noise sensor with heightened hydrogen-alpha sensitivity," Canon said in a Tuesday announcement.
The new camera, the EOS 60Da, has a suggested retail price of $1,500 and will be available this month by special order only. Canon U.S.A. said it is "a long-awaited successor" to its previous night-sky model, the EOS 20Da. The EOS 60Da has an 18-megapixel sensor, compared to the previous Canon model's 8.2-megapixel sensor.
