Starlight Xpress
Starlight Xpress was established in 1991, making them one the oldest operating companies in the field of digital astrophotgraphy. Their strategy to deliver high quality imaging systems to the astronomical world and their innovative design approach have kept them at the forefront of technology. Starlight Xpress were the first to introduce Single-Shot color cameras and Interline CCDs into astronomy when everyone else said it couldn't be done; now all other manufacturers have followed their lead and now use these CCDs. Starlight Xpress were also the first to design USB1.1 and USB2.0 cameras, allowing huge reductions in download times as well as a reduction in readout noise.
