Omegon Camera veTEC 410 C Color

The Omegon Camera veTEC 410 C Color is designed for astrophotographers who want more detail and control when photographing nebulae, galaxies and planets. With active cooling and a large full well capacity, this camera delivers clean, detailed shots where DSLRs and uncooled cameras fall short. The design focuses on long exposures with minimal noise and accurate color reproduction.

The Sony sensor in this camera uses back-illuminated technology, which provides high light output and makes the smallest structures visible. Active cooling lowers the sensor temperature by 30 degrees below ambient temperature. This virtually eliminates hot pixels and noise and allows you to plan longer sessions with reliable results. The internal buffer and USB 3.0 connection ensure stable transmission even with large data sets.

Application

• Deep-sky photography: capture nebulae, galaxies and globular clusters with long exposure times and a high signal-to-noise ratio.
• Moon and planets: thanks to its high resolution and color sensitivity, can also be used for planetary shots.
• Advanced setups: suitable for use with filter wheels and automation software such as N.I.N.A. and APT

Why this camera is distinctive

The veTEC 410 C Color offers the advantages of a full-frame sensor and active cooling at a price significantly lower than many competing models. Its combination of high resolution, wide dynamic range and clean signal acquisition makes it attractive to anyone who wants to practice serious deep-sky astrophotography without compromising on quality.
