Omegon Camera veLOX 678 C Color: 4K planetary camera with the largest veLOX sensor<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The veLOX 678 C has the largest sensor and the finest pixels in the series. With 3840 x 2160 pixels of 2.0 micrometers on a 7.7 by 4.3 mm sensor, you capture the Moon in high resolution without having to mosaic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For planets, fine pixels mean that you get more pixels on the disk at a given focal length. Combined with stacking software, you can extract a lot of detail from that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

The Sony IMX678 measures 7.7 by 4.3 mm with a diagonal of 8.8 mm. The camera reads out at 12 bits and achieves 47 frames per second at full 4K resolution via USB 3.0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the region of interest function, you limit the readout to the area around the planet. As a result, the frame rate increases significantly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Moon in view all at once<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The 8.8 mm sensor diagonal is generous for a planetary camera. At a medium-long focal length, a large part of the lunar disk fits into a single image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That saves time during recording and work in post-processing, because you have to stitch fewer partial images together.<\/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 wide field of view makes finding a guide star easy.<\/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

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
