The Altair 678C Colour camera has the latest Starvis 2 BSI sensor with very high sensitivity for planetary imaging, including in the NIR red region.The pixel size of 2 microns makes this camera ideal for lunar and planetary imaging with telescopes of approximately 1000mm focal length, such as a Celestron C8 SCT. (The mono version 678M is recommended for solar imaging). The sensor has no amp glow, and therefore offers better performance for deep-sky imaging or video astronomy with a small refractor.
