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.

First Timer

Very pleased with purchase, also have the Svbony SV165 30mm guide scope. While I haven't used it for guiding yet (all very new to me), I am seriously considering buying both again for a dedicated AllSky camera using a Raspberry Pi. I'm new to SharpCap, but been able to get daytime live view images without any problems. Appreciate all the accessories that come along with the camera.

Good camera

It's a good camera for guiding and planets. The only issue - usb socket is too deep inside the case and cable can easily detach.

Still working

I've had this camera now just over two years and still works perfectly I've also used it to do some planetary imaging the best but it does work

Nice simple guide camera that you can also use for planetary imaging.

I really like that this little guide camera has built-in USB-C. That makes it much easier to get a live feed through the camera when I don't want to fire up a session of PHD or TheSky (or if I'm actively using them for guiding). The ST4 auto-guide port works great and it was immediately recognized by my Meade mount. This camera comes with a couple of tube extensions and a nice travel-stop ring so that once you get your focus, you can take the camera out to look directly through the telescope and then quickly return it to the same focus depth.
