The SXV-H9C, like the MX7C,
is a one-shot color ccd camera, but with a larger 1.44 megapixel chip.
It also utilizes a Bayer matrix (RGBG) instead of the CMYG filtering
scheme of the MX7C. The sensitivity of the Sony chip has very good
response across the spectrum, but compared to other one-shot cameras,
is far superior in the h-alpha region, making it ideally suited for
emission nebulae.
