Affordable entry-level model for astrophotography, ideal for the moon, planets or bright star clusters.
Equipped with the new highly sensitive SONY IMX225 CMOS colour sensor, this camera delivers amazingly good image results even with simple telescope equipment. This modern camera can also be used as an autoguider.
The particularly low noise level of this new chip generation from Sony ensures exceptionally high brilliance and no cooling is required.
The ToupSky professional software included in the scope of delivery not only offers the necessary basic functions for image and video recording, but also many helpful special functions for image post-processing and setting up the guide. Functions such as live image display, exposure settings, white balance, dark frame subtraction, stacking, time-lapse recording and much more can be individually configured.
The highly sophisticated software makes it really easy to get started in astrophotography. With the automatic settings, you can achieve impressive results even without much prior knowledge. If you want, you can simply switch off the automatic settings and gradually venture into the individual professional settings.
Connect the camera directly to the ST4 connection on your telescope mount and you have fully automatic tracking control. A corresponding ST-4 connection cable is even included with the camera. Due to the camera's high light sensitivity, you will always find a suitable guide star, even with very short exposure times.
For connection to telescopes, the camera has a 1.25" bayonet mount, 1.25" filter thread (M28.5x0.6) and C-mount thread (1"x1/32").
