SV905C Telescope Guiding Camera
SV905C guide camera is a sensitive high-speed color astronomy camera for planetary, lunar imaging, and bright deep sky objects imaging.
1/3” CMOS
Compact and highly sensitive 1.23-megapixel color camera with 1/3” CMOS 1280x960 sensor perfect for autoguiding or planetary imaging.
Small 3.75-micron pixels, high peak QE of 80% and low read noise allows tight tracking of faint guide stars.
The front of the camera is equipped with CS interface & CS-C adapter ring, which can be matched with CS or C-mount lens for stargazing.
USB2.0 Type-C and ST4 Interface
Standard Thread Size
The SV905C adopts 1.25inch, which can adapt to different focal length guide lens or OAG guide stars. The internal thread is M28.5X0.6.
Application Software
AR-coated Protective Window
AR-coated protective window to maximize transmission and protect the sensor.
The SV905C is better for ‘lucky imaging’ of planets, double stars, other compact objects, especially for telescopes with longer focal lengths.
