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. Thanks to active cooling and a large full well capacity, this camera delivers clean, detailed images where DSLR “s and uncooled camera” s 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, resulting in high light sensitivity and visibility of the finest structures. The active cooling reduces the sensor temperature by 30 degrees below ambient temperature. This virtually eliminates hot pixels and noise, allowing you to plan longer sessions with reliable results. The internal buffer and USB 3.0 connection ensure stable transfer, even with large datasets.

Specifications

• Sensor: Sony CMOS back-illuminated (IMX410)
• Sensor format: full-frame (35.9 × 24 mm, diagonal 43.3 mm)
• Resolution: 6000 × 4000 pixels (24 MP)
• Pixel size: 5.94 µm
• Bit depth: 14 bit
• Quantum efficiency: high, approx. 80% peak
• Frame rate: depends on resolution (typically 10-12 fps full frame)
• Read noise: approx. 1.6 – 3 e- (depending on gain)
• Full well capacity: large, for wide dynamic range
• Exposure time: 0.001 s to 60 minutes
• Active cooling: up to 30°C below ambient temperature (12 V, 3 A)
• Interface: USB 3.0 + 2× USB 2.0 hub
• Connection: 2″, M48 and T2 with adapters
• Dimensions: approx. Ø 84 mm × 105 mm, weight approx. 900 g
• Internal buffer: DDR3 RAM

(Note: exact values for frame rate and cooling vary by configuration and can be found in this model’s manual.

Application

• Deep-sky photography: capture nebulae, galaxies, and globular clusters with long exposure times and high signal-to-noise ratio.
• Moon and planets: also suitable for planetary imaging thanks to high resolution and color sensitivity.
• Advanced setups: compatible with filter wheels and automation software like N.I.N.A. and APT

Why this Camera Stands Out

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