Omegon Camera veTEC 571 M Mono

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

Thanks to the 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 with faint deep-sky objects.

The camera features a built-in USB hub, allowing accessories such as filter wheels or focusers to be connected directly to the camera. The standard T2 and 2″ connection makes it widely applicable, from medium-sized refractors to astrographs.

Applications

• Deep-sky photography – suitable for emission nebulae, galaxies, and globular clusters with maximum control over color and contrast.

• Professional automation – compatible with ASCOM and INDI for use with software like N.I.N.A. and PHD2.

What Makes this Camera Special?

The veTEC 571 M Mono offers the same performance as the popular ASI2600MM Pro, but combines that with a built-in USB hub and a robust housing. Thanks to the 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 paramount.
