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, allowing it to excel in deep-sky photography as well as fast planet and Moon images.

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

Active cooling reduces the temperature to 30 °C below ambient temperature. This reduces heat pixels and makes calibration with darkframes very accurate. Even on summer nights, recordings remain clean and reproducible. The built-in USB hub on the camera ensures a tidy setup: accessories such as a guiding camera connect directly, without additional cable chaos.

This camera is robustly built and comes in a padded transport case so that it can be safely taken to observing locations. Thanks to its T2 thread and 2” adapter, it fits virtually any telescope.

What makes this camera special?

The veTEC 432 M Mono is one of the few cameras in this segment with large 9 µm pixels and a global shutter. Combined with active cooling and rugged build quality, this gives serious astrophotographers a reliable and versatile tool. Where other cameras show limitations at long focal lengths or high frame rates, the veTEC 432 M Mono stays sharp, fast and consistent.
