High-resolution deep-sky camera with large SONY EXMOR IMX-571 APS-C CMOS sensor and active cooling.
The extreme sensitivity of this camera is achieved thanks to SONY backlight technology. This camera is suitable for both advanced users and those looking to step up from DSLRs for more serious deep sky imaging.
Enter the world of astrophotography now.With the new EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC Deep Sky Astro Camera you get a complete modern equipment for direct capture of astro photos and videos. Finally, an easy-to-use camera for capturing galaxies, star clusters, the moon and even planets with high resolution and low sensor noise. Thanks to the fast USB 3.0 computer interface, all image data is transferred within seconds .Long waiting times for images are now a thing of the past.
Simply connect the camera to your telescope using the T2 female thread (M42, 0.75 mm) or the 2" (50.8 mm) adapter and after installing the drivers and the included EXPLORE Capture recording and editing software, you are ready to take the first real astrophotographs with a highly specialized camera for your application .
The included EXPLORE Capture Prosoftware offers not only the basic functions necessary for image and video capture, but also many useful special functions for image post-processing and camera setup. Functions such as live image display, exposure settings, white balance, dark image subtraction, stacking, timelapse recording and many more functions can be individually configured. This sophisticated software makes it especially easy to get started in astrophotography. With the automatic configuration you can achieve absolutely flawless results without any prior knowledge. As far as security is concerned, you can deactivate the automatic settings and gradually explore the professional configuration and individual settings of the software.
The new EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC deep-sky camera features a high-sensitivity, very low-noise SONY CMOS APS-C EXMOR IMX-571 sensor that can be cooled down to 40 °C below ambient temperature by means of two-stage thermoelectric cooling. In contrast to normal DSLR cameras, all this ensures much lower noise and fewer hot pixels in your shots. The images are not only much sharper and brighter, but also contain more usable image information. Thanks to the camera's careful automatic setting of the desired temperature, it is easy to create dark frames that can be reused in similar shooting conditions, speeding up processing considerably. The large-format CMOS sensor with 28.3 mm diagonal also enables large image fields and simplifies the adjustment and centering of objects considerably
The secret of this camera's high light sensitivity is SONY's new back-illuminated EXMOR CMOS sensor. It increases the quantum efficiency by up to 80 % at 533 nm, which leads to extremely high sensitivity and consequently to particularly bright, high-contrast photos.
The camera has an integrated USB hub with 2 USB 2.0 ports on the rear. Connect your additional self-tracking camera or motorized focus, etc. via a short USB cable and reduce the risk of tangled and broken cables. Separate cable connections on your accessories and computer are no longer needed.
A hard case for the camera and accessories is also included .
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Do not be confused by the megapixel data and the opposite pricing structure. In the field of astronomy, the key criterion is not sensor resolution but maximum light sensitivity. The main goal is to capture as much light as possible in the shortest time.
