Astro camera guiding and planetary photography 2.0 MP color: Full HD color guiding camera<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Omegon GUIDE 2000 C works with the Sony IMX290, a sensor known for its low-light sensitivity. This makes finding a guide star easy, even in a field where almost nothing is visually visible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With 1920 x 1080 pixels of 2.9 micrometers, the camera delivers Full HD video of the Moon and the planets. The image scale suits telescopes with a medium focal length well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sensor and image<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The 1\/2.8-inch color sensor measures 5.6 by 3.2 mm. At full resolution, the camera achieves 60 frames per second, enough to freeze the turbulence of the atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An integrated UV and IR blocking filter ensures that colors are accurate. Without that filter, a CMOS sensor also measures infrared light and shifts the color balance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Autoguiding with an ST4 port<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The camera has a built-in ST4 port. You connect it directly to the autoguider port of your mount and correct the tracking during long exposures. The high sensitivity means shorter exposures and therefore a higher correction frequency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PHD2 recognizes the camera natively. It also works with N.I.N.A., SharpCap, and similar programs via the ASCOM and INDI drivers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Connect to your telescope<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The housing has the shape and diameter of a 1.25-inch eyepiece. So you can slide the camera into almost any focuser. The flange distance is 12.5 mm; with the included extension tube, it becomes 17.5 mm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the front is a CS-mount thread, with the included adapter to convert to C-mount. The adapter with 1.25-inch filter thread accepts any standard filter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Software and controls<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Control is via the free Omegon capture software or via ASCOM and INDI. This allows the camera to work with N.I.N.A., SharpCap, FireCapture, PHD2, and AutoStakkert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The camera communicates via USB 2.0 and works under Windows and under Linux via INDI.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
