Omegon Camera veTEC 455 M Mono

The Omegon Camera veTEC 455 M Mono is the flagship model in the veTEC line, designed for astrophotographers who refuse to compromise. This full-frame camera with Sony IMX455 monochrome sensor captures even the most subtle cosmic structures thanks to its high resolution and extremely low noise.

With a sensor format of 24×36 mm and 61 megapixels, it creates an enormous field of view. This makes the camera ideal for extensive deep-sky projects, capturing emission nebulae, galaxies, and globular clusters in unprecedented detail. The high quantum efficiency (>80%) and 16-bit ADC ensure that weak signals remain visible, even under light-polluted conditions.

The active cooling reduces the sensor temperature to 35°C below ambient temperature. This minimizes noise and hot pixels, making dark frames reproducible and reliable. The global pre-buffer and USB 3.0 connection guarantee stable transfer of large files. With the built-in USB hub, you can connect accessories like filter wheels or focusers directly to the camera, minimizing cable clutter.

What Makes this Camera Unique?

The veTEC 455 M Mono offers the same sensor and performance as the well-known ZWO ASI6200MM Pro, but adds user convenience with a built-in USB hub and a robust transport case. For astrophotographers working with high-quality optics and valuing low noise, high dynamic range, and complete control, this is one of the most complete full-frame cameras on the market.
