Omegon Camera veLOX 662 C Color: Starvis 2 planetary camera in Full HD<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The veLOX 662 C is the successor to the veLOX 462 C. Both cameras operate with the same pixel size and the same resolution, but the IMX662 with Starvis 2 technology is more sensitive, especially in the red and near-infrared ranges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The difference also lies in the storage capacity per pixel. This is significantly larger in the IMX662, which means that bright parts of the Moon or Venus clip less quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

The 1\/2.8-inch sensor measures 5.6 by 3.2 mm with a diagonal of 6.45 mm. The resolution is 1920 x 1080 pixels of 2.9 micrometers, read out with 12 bits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The connection is made via USB 3.0, allowing the camera to achieve very high frame rates when using a crop.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Where he distinguishes himself<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The extra sensitivity in the red comes in handy with Mars and with narrowband work. The larger full well capacity provides more headroom in the highlights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those who are primarily looking for the highest possible frame rate will look at the veLOX 462 C. Those who consider sensitivity more important will choose this 662 C.<\/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 sensitivity also makes the camera a great autoguider.<\/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 has C- and CS-mount threads and the shape of a 1.25-inch eyepiece. 1.25-inch filters can be screwed onto the included adapter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
