High-performance monochrome astro camera - large 2.3 megapixel sensor for solar, lunar and planetary photography and for deep-sky imaging

• 1/1.2" sensor IMX174LLJ CMOS
• Resolution 2.3 MP - 1936 x 1216 PX
• Pixel size 5.86 µm
• Sensor size: 11.34 mm x 7.13 mm
• Extremely high frame rate of 164 fps, global shutter
• Minimal download time through USB 3.0
• Very compact - only 62 mm x 41 mm
• Autoguiding port (ST-4)
• AR protect window built-in - full transmission also in IR

This camera is excellent for sun and moon with its large sensor, but can also be used very well for deep sky because of the low noise.

• Sensor: 1.1" CMOS IMX432 with 1.77 megapixels resolution
• Sensor size: 9.9 mm x 14.5 mm - diagonal: 17.6 mm
• Large image field - very well suited for sun and moon
• Pixels with 9.0 µm size and corresponding light sensitivity
• With approx. 79 % QE a still high efficiency for short exposure times
• Very well suited for EAA due to high frame rate of 120 fps
• Full well capacity 97 ke-
• Starvis technology with back illumination
• USB 3.0 for fast download of images
• 12 bit ADC
• No amplifier glow (amp glow)
• Passive cooling with heat dissipation against heating of the sensor during long time exposures
• Good suitability for deep sky imaging
• AR protection filter built in with full transmission also in infrared
• ST4 level autoguiding interface included

The ASI 482 CMOS color camera offers a very high sensitivity with a QE of 85% and a large modern Sony sensor for all applications in astrophotography.

• Sony IMX 482 2 MP backlit sensor
• Sensor size 11.1 x 6.2 mm - diagonal 12.86 mm
• 1920 x 1080 pixels with up to 83 fps
• 5.8 µm pixel - ideal for Maksutovs or Cassegrains for optimal resolution
• Sony Starvis and Exmor-R technology
• USB 3.0 for fast image download - also compatible with USB 2.0
• Video astronomy and EAA with up to 83 frames per second possible
• ST4-level autoguider interface included
• AR protection filter built in with full transmission even in infrared

• SONY STARVIS 2 technology - back illuminated pixel technology
• USB 3.0 for fast download of images
• 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

The camera offers an extremely high resolution and is optimized for lunar and planetary photography without additional Barlow directly in the focus of the telescope.

• Sensor: 1/28" CMOS IMX715 with 8.46 megapixel resolution
• Sensor size: 5.6 mm x 3.2 mm - Diagonal: 6.45 mm
• Extremely high resolution: 1.45 µm pixel size
• SONY STARVIS 2 technology - back illuminated pixel technology
• With approx. 80 % QE a high sensitivity for short exposure times
• Ideal for moon and planets but also for small deep-sky objects and high-resolution microscope photography
• USB 3.0 for fast image download
• Low readout noise (from 0.72 e-)
• Well suited for EAA due to high frame rate of 45.1 fps
• 12 bit ADC
• No more amp glow detectable
• Passive cooling with heat dissipation to prevent the sensor from heating up during long exposures
• Wide field lens (detachable) included in scope of delivery
• AR protection filter built in with full transmission even in the infrared band
• Including ST4-level autoguiding interface

Cooled USB3.0 COLOR PRO astro camera for deep-sky photography. High-resolution SONY CMOS sensor with 16 megapixels.

• Powerful Peltier cooling up to 40 °C below ambient
• Sensor: SONY IMX071 CMOS sensor with 28.4 mm diagonal (APS-C format)
• Pixels: 4.78 µm pixel size - 4944 x 3284 pixels
• Short download time - USB 3.0 (can also be used with USB 2.0
• 2x USB 2.0 outputs (connectors identical to ASI1600 cooled cameras)
• Rolling shutter
• Protective AR window built-in - full transmission even in infrared
• Telescope connection: T2 - M42x0.75 female thread and 2" throug the both extension rings
  Separately screwed front panel - now the camera body cannot be unscrewed by mistake
• DDR memory buffer 256 MB for more stable data exchange - minimizes amp glow even with USB2.0 characteristic feature of the new PRO versions)
• No problems with dew or icing through integrated heating
