SV305C Color Planetary Camera IMX662 USB2.0 With SV183 IR Pass Filter 1.25 inch 685nm

SV305C Color Planetary Camera IMX662 for Astrophotography and EAA

SV305C telescope camera adopts the latest IMX662 1/2.8” back-illuminated sensor. The camera has ultra-high sensitivity and ultra-low readout noise. It has better performance in planetary photography and lunar surface photography, and is very suitable for EAA.

The Premium Performance

One-key quick setting: We have set planetary high-speed mode and deep space long exposure mode in the sharpcap software, users can choose according to their actual shooting needs, and realize one-key quick setting. After setting, they can adjust the best parameters suitable for them. It can be saved for convenient one-key setting next time. The unique one-button operation mode makes planet shooting easier.

UV/IR CUT protective glass with detachable design: If users want to shoot infrared or ultraviolet bands, they can remove the protective glass at the front of the camera by themselves, connect it with a 1.25-inch extension tube, and connect an external IR685, IR850 or UV Venus filter to achieve different shooting experience.

Using HCG noise reduction technology, when the gain is increased, the HCG mode will be automatically turned on, which can greatly reduce the readout noise, and at the same time retain the high dynamic range of low gain. When the gain value of SV305C telescope camera is 190, HCG will be turned on automatically.

IMX662 CMOS sensor

The SV305C planetary camera uses the IMX662 sensor. Compared with the previous generation sensor IMX462, the sensor has three times the full well charge, which can effectively avoid overexposure and ensure long exposure. The IMX662 sensor has the characteristics of low readout noise, no glow, and greatly improved NIR, especially in the red spectral band, which has a higher sensitivity than IMX462.

1.25 Inch CS Interface

SV305C planetary camera can use a 1.25-inch universal astronomical interface, the front of the camera is a CS interface, and it is also equipped with a CS-C adapter ring, which can be used with C-mount lenses and CS-mount lenses for shooting.

USB 2.0 Interface

SV305C color palnetary camera is designed with USB2.0 interface, which can meet the basic needs of users, suitable for entry-level planetary photography.

128MB DDRII Buffer

SV305C planetary camera has a built-in 128MB DDRIII image buffer. The benefit of the image buffer is that the memory will cache the image and transfer it to the computer when the USB interface is not busy or being interrupted, so that the frame won’t be lost or corrupted.

UV/IR CUT Protective Glass With Detachable Design

The built-in protective glass of the fuselage is UV/IR CUT, which can reach a high transmittance of more than 96% in the visible light range of 400-700nm. When shooting celestial images in the visible light range, a well-balanced color can be obtained.

When the protective window glass is removed, the original function of preventing infrared and ultraviolet rays from passing through is released. At this time, you can connect SV305C camera with the SV183 IR Pass Filter, which is suitable for nature photography in the Near-IR; revealing stunning differences in plants, sky and clouds.

• Note

  1.Computer configuration requirements:
  1) The configuration of desktop computer is not less than Intel 4 generation i5, and the memory is not less than 4G.
  2) Laptop configuration is not less than Intel 6 generation i5, memory is not less than 8g.
  2. The SV305C camera is best used with a refractor or reflector telescope mounted on an equatorial mount that can accurately track the motion of the sky.  It is not intended for taking images through the eyepiece of a telescope. You may also require additional accessories and filters to get the best results. If you want to use the SV305C camera capture images through telescope eyepiece. You need buy an eyepiece projection adapter.
