The Omegon Camera veTEC 585 M Mono is a versatile camera suitable for both fast planetary imaging and deep-sky photography. With the monochrome Sony IMX585 sensor, you capture more detail than with a color camera by working with LRGB or narrowband filters per color channel. This makes the camera an excellent choice for advanced astrophotographers who want to combine flexibility and quality.
The IMX585 sensor offers a wide dynamic range, extremely low noise, and sensitivity that reveals faint details even with short exposures. The high frame rate makes this camera particularly suitable for lucky imaging of planets, the Moon, and the Sun. For deep-sky projects, it can be used for stacked short exposures (EAA) or longer integrations on a tracking mount.
The design without active cooling keeps the camera compact and easy to use. Thanks to the standard 1.25″ and T2 connection, it can be easily mounted on virtually any telescope.
