Altair Hypercam 533C Colour Camera
Altair AA533CTEC has a 14bit Sony IMX533 Back Side Illuminated Sensor with very high sensitivity.
Lower read noise and higher sensitivity, easily outperforms front illuminated CCD cameras at a more competitive price point.
Zero Amp Glow makes the AA533CTEC a pleasure to image with, and the 3.76um pixels in a square format make targets easy to frame, especially galaxies!
2 Stage TEC Cooling reduces thermal noise to negligible levels and the camera sensor is guaranteed not to frost for two years due to the special chamber design. A heated anti reflection coated optical window reduces the chance of dew formation on the front glass.
