SV105 and sharp cap. I have a tough time believe that this camera works well with SharpCap. Sure, it connects, sure I see some sort of image with a star or two…but honestly, the image looks terrible. It’s mostly very grainy, to see anything K have to h

If you use this with a 130AZ scope, or a Astrofi 5 or 6, how can you achieve more magnification? Because you cant use eyepieces with different focal lengths...

I also have the partial view of the moon with my 105 and would like to make it full screen. Any help appreciated. Thanks

The page says, "before connecting the SV105 to your telescope, please focus the target first by using a normal optic eyepiece. then replace it with the SV105 camera. " What millimeter eyepiece is close to normal for the SV105 camera?

Is there a way to zoom out using the software, currently I'm getting huge images of the moon and when scanning it goes from view within ten seconds.

I have the Svbony 105.. and I have sharpcap.. but I can not get the camera to pick up the planets or stars. Day time imagery or night time lunar imagines pick up fine. I'm using a CELESTRON PowerSeeker 76AZ. Any help with settings would be extremely helpf

Moon imaging

Hello; first hanks for the good product SVBONY SV105! I succeeded in imaging the moon - but now I would like to image the complete moon - the magnification factor is too high. I am using a Newtonian telescope - with a focal length of 650 mm and the ape

I have used the SV105 as a guide camera with my guide scope. this worked well with PHD2. Now I would like to test the SV105 with off-axis guiding. To achieve that and get into focus I need to know some details I could not look up in the specs I found.

@Already sent the specification to your email, C.

Guys, my SV105 ON MY MEADE 8020 WORKS GREAT.....BUT. MY SCREEN IS FLIPED. IMAGE IS ONLK NOT UPSIDE DOWN IS REVERSED. LEFT IS ON RIGHT AND RIGHT ON LEFT.. IM USING SHARPCAP SOFTWARE NO OPTION TO FLIP SCREEN. PLEASE ANY HELP! HAPPY 2022

@Maybe you need a diagonal, sir happy new year.

@Rotate de camera. That is what I did.

@The camera is OK. I realized that I could meassure angles with it. It was very simple. The images taken by the camera are 1080 x 1920. I took a series of picture of a transit of a star across the imagen. Earth rotates 360° degress es 24 hours or 86400 seconds. It means that the planet rotates 15 arcsec per second. I overlayed diffferent set of images knowing exactly the time between each image. By knowing how many pixels the start moved in an specific time I realized that an object moves 22.225 pixels per second. This means that 0.6745 pixels is equivalent to 1 arcsec. I meassured the distance in pixels between Alcyone and Alcyone B in the Pleyades and the were separated by 172 pixels or 116 arcsec (172 x 0.6745). This OFFICIAL MEASUREMENT is 117 arcsec. I did the same thing with Alcyone C and Alcyone D. My measurements were 265 pixels (179 arcsec) for Alcyone B and 281 pixels (189.5 arcsec) for Alcyone C. The OFFICIAL MEASUREMENTS are 181 y 191 respectively.

@Wow, you are doing great work!

@Place a mirror on the opposite side of your laptop screen. If you then look in the mirror instead of your laptop screen then the image will show normal.

@Es normal, que los telescopios te entreguen imágenes invertidas, en el espacio no es problema eso. Pero si quieres enderezar la imagen, debes buscar un erector de imagen acorde a tu telescopio.

@Thank you for your message.

I want to use the camera for guiding, which guide scope do you recommend? Camera works great. Thanks.

@If the OTA is big aperture like 80mm or 102mm bigger, you can use the SV198 or SV106 for your guide scope. The SV165 is another nice option for smaller OTA.

Guest

@How about 150mm?

Mme M Bonjour Voici ma question. mon image est flou. j'ai fait tous les réglage possibles de la camera et du télescope ma camera svbony sv105 mon télescope c est un celestron delux 80 EQ 80*900. mon image et flou pourriez vous me donne un réglages app

@Vous pouvez vérifier la distance focale pendant la journée et essayer l'objet dans la mesure du possible. C'est trop long ou trop court ? En outre, le réglage sur le logiciel est également nécessaire comme l'ISO et le temps d'exposition ainsi que le gain. (La fonction Auto sera utile).

@Copier des articles du site Web est ennuyeux. Vous devriez être une personne amicale

@Bonjour, si vous obtenez un motif flou, cela devrait être que le télescope n'est pas entièrement focalisé, vous pouvez essayer de focaliser à nouveau le télescope et affiner les détails pour trouver l'image la plus claire

Hello, I have a Celestron 130 SLT telescope and an SVBONY V105 electronic eyepiece. My problem is that I cannot focus on Saturn or Jupiter as they look too small. If I add a Barlow 2X to it, the image is enlarged but I still cannot focus. I use an electro

@If you want to shoot a planet like Jupiter, you can try add the extension tube and add the Barlow, this may be helpful. Also, try this way to make the image better. https://x-bit-astro-imaging.blogspot.com/2020/11/using-sv105-cameras-correctly-with.html

I have acquired an SV 105 camera, I use it in the National Geographic 70/900 telescope, I cannot focus on any object. The moon looks like a white sphere without any definition. I use the camera as my primary focus.

Karida

@Hello, Before connecting the SV105 to your telescope, please focus on the target first by using a normal optic eyepiece. then replace it with the SV105 camera. You should adjust the focus wheel to reach a clear image on the computer screen. Because the SV105 isn't an autofocus camera.

bytebull

@Try turning down the GAIN and BRIGHTNESS options in whatever capture software you are using. You might need to add CONTRAST as well to eliminate all the brightness. If it's still to bright you might consider purchasing a UV/IR cut filter or a UHC filter I have even used a linear polarizing filter to reduce the brightness of the Moon. Also it's almost impossible to get a really dark image of the FULL MOON, "unless" you take while the moon is low on the horizon just before it sets or just after it rises. Hope these suggestions can help you.

@Wow, really master, thanks

hello, I have acquired SV105 camera, I use the National geographic 70/900 telescope and I can't focus on any object(not even the moon) do I need to use lenses? because if I do my lenses aren't fitting the camera. what do I need to do?

Juan R. Martín

@Thanks for your quick response. It does not seem that this is the problem, I carry out the steps that you tell me. The image in the camera appears excessively large and impossible to focus, even at 0.5 x barlow.

Karida

@SV105 is a sensor imaging, the sensor is closer to the imaging position, so there will be a certain degree of magnification. It is recommended that you do not add a Focal Reducer, but the first test whether your telescope with SV105 can achieve focus. If you have adjusted the focus mount of your telescope to achieve a relatively clear picture of SV105. After that, please fine-tune the distance between SV105 and your telescope, taking care not to let other lights enter until a clear image appears. If you still have questions, please send your detailed questions to SVBONY's official mailbox, where there will be more detailed solutions.

is this program runs on a mac?

@SV105 could be used in the macOS system. You ould download the corresponding software from SV105's FEATURE on the official website.

@Hi, I have the same problem with my SV105 en Celestron LCM114. Can you also give me the solution? Thanks.

@I have replied to your email, please check.

Karida

@Don't worry. this situation is normal, SV105 is a sensor imaging, the sensor is closer to the imaging position, so there will be a certain degree of magnification. You could choose to add a focal reducer to try.

@A 0.5x reducer may help.

Edwin

@Hi, do you have a solution for me as well?

@Try post-process like Splicing in PS, as the SV105 is a small sensor.

The Svbony SV105 is an excellent starter lunar/planetary astrocamera. I have had great results!
