CMOS & CCD Cameras

The camera offers a very high resolution and can be used for lunar and planetary photography, EAA and also for deep sky astrophotography.

• Sensor: 1/1.8" CMOS IMX678 with 8.29 megapixels resolution
• Sensor size: 7.68 mm x 4.32 mm - diagonal: 8.86 mm
• Extremely high resolution: 2.0 µm pixel size
• SONY STARVIS 2 technology - back illuminated pixel technology
• With approx. 83% QE a high sensitivity for short exposure times
• USB 3.0 for fast download of images
• Very low readout noise (from 0.6 e-)
• Well suited for EAA due to high frame rate of 47.5 fps
• 12 bit ADC
• No more amp glow detectable
• Passive cooling with heat dissipation against heating of the sensor during long time exposures
• Good suitability for deep sky imaging
• Rich field lens (removable) included in scope of delivery
• AR protection filter built in with full transmission also in infrared
• ST4-level autoguiding interface included

The all-sky camera offers a very high resolution and is particularly suitable for meteor photography.

• Sensor: 1/1.6" CMOS IMX676 with 12.6 megapixel resolution
• Sensor size: 7.1 mm x 7.1 mm - diagonal: 10.05 mm
• Very high resolution: 2.0 µm pixel size
• SONY STARVIS 2 technology - back illuminated pixel technology
• With approx. 83 % QE a high sensitivity for short exposure times
• USB 3.0 for fast image download
• Very low readout noise (from 0.56 e-)
• Already suitable for EAA due to frame rate of 31.2 fps
  12 bit ADC
• No more amplifier glow detectable
• Passive cooling with heat dissipation to prevent the sensor from heating up during long exposures
  Good suitability for meteor and other all-sky images
• Wide field lens (detachable) included in scope of delivery
• UV/IR block filter built in, thus well usable with refractors and camera lenses
• ST4-level autoguiding interface included
