Omegon Camera veLOX 224 C Color: compact planetary camera with 150 frames per second<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Sony IMX224 in this camera is known for its low-light sensitivity. With 3.8-micrometer pixels, it captures more light per pixel than fine-grained sensors, which keeps the exposure time short for planets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At full resolution, the camera delivers 150 frames per second. For lucky imaging, that is a comfortable margin: you collect enough frames in a short time to be able to select strictly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

The 1\/3-inch sensor measures 4.8 by 3.6 mm and has 1280 x 960 pixels. The readout is performed at 12-bit via USB 3.0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The relatively large pixels are well suited for telescopes with a short to medium focal length, possibly in combination with a barlow.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Planets, Moon and Sun<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

You capture Jupiter, Saturn, and Mars in short video sequences that you then stack. The same method works for the Moon, with more emphasis on focusing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solar photography always requires a solar filter in front of the telescope aperture.<\/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 tracking during long exposures. The sensitivity also makes the camera suitable as an autoguider behind a guidescope.<\/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

The housing is shaped like a 1.25-inch eyepiece with C- and CS-mount threads. Small CCTV lenses fit directly onto it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
