This full-frame camera doesn’t just photograph the stars – it tells you what stars you’re looking at from a removable magnetic LCD screen

The ArcBlue C24 astrophotography camera used by a photographer.

I had to embark on several minutes of Google sleuthing last week to find out that the bright “star” I was looking at just after sunset was actually Venus – but an upcoming full-frame camera won’t just photograph the stars, but ID and track them too. The ArcBlue C24 is a full-frame astrophotography system that mixes a mirrorless camera with an integrated tracker together with the features of a smart telescope.

Smart telescopes help tell astro-beginners what they are looking at in the night sky, but lack the image prowess of a full-frame camera. The ArcBlue C24 aims to fix that by using a full-frame 24MP Sony sensor combined with a star tracker.
