Omegon Camera veTEC 571 M Mono

The Omegon Camera veTEC 571 M Mono gives astrophotographers complete control over their shots. With the Sony IMX571 sensor in monochrome, you collect more light per pixel and can work with LRGB and narrowband filters for the highest image quality.

Thanks to active cooling, which brings the sensor to 35 °C below ambient temperature, images remain free of thermal noise and amp-glow. The high sensitivity and 16-bit ADC ensure sharp and high-contrast results even in faint deep-sky objects.

It features a built-in USB hub, allowing accessories such as a filter wheel or focuser to be connected directly to the camera. The standard T2 and 2” connector makes it widely usable, from medium-sized refractors to astrographers.

What makes this camera special?

The veTEC 571 M Mono offers the same performance as the popular ASI2600MM Pro, but combines it with a built-in USB hub and a rugged housing. Thanks to its monochrome sensor, it delivers more detail and flexibility than a color camera, making it the first choice for serious deep-sky projects where quality and post-processing are key.
