Omegon Camera veTEC 432 M Mono

The Omegon Camera veTEC 432 M Mono is built for astrophotographers who demand control and precision when capturing the universe. This camera combines exceptionally low noise with large pixels and a global shutter, making it excel in both deep-sky photography and fast planetary and lunar imaging.

Where classic CMOS cameras reach their limits at long focal lengths, the veTEC 432 M Mono makes the difference. With 9 µm pixels, each pixel captures more photons, ensuring an excellent signal-to-noise ratio and detail in faint deep-sky objects. For fast imaging – planets, the Moon, or the Sun – the global shutter eliminates disturbing distortions and delivers up to 94 frames per second.

The active cooling reduces the temperature to 30°C below ambient temperature. This limits hot pixels and makes calibration with dark frames very accurate. Even during summer nights, the images remain clean and reproducible. The built-in USB hub on the camera ensures a neat setup: accessories like a guiding camera can be connected directly, without additional cable chaos.

This camera is robustly built and comes in a padded transport case, allowing for safe transport to observation sites. Thanks to the T2 thread and 2″ adapter, it fits virtually any telescope.
