Omegon Camera veLOX 715 C Color: 4K resolution on a compact sensor<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The veLOX 715 C combines 3840 x 2160 pixels with a sensor diagonal of just 6.39 mm. The pixels measure 1.45 micrometers, the finest in the entire series. This delivers a very high image scale at a modest focal length.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a quantum efficiency of more than 91 percent, this sensor is among the most sensitive that Omegon uses in the veLOX line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

The back-illuminated Sony IMX715 measures 5.57 by 3.13 mm and has 3840 x 2160 pixels. The readout is done at 12 bits, up to 24 frames per second at full resolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The full well capacity is 6,000 electrons and the read noise remains below 1.35 electrons. This makes short exposures usable without noise taking over the image.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Fine pixels, small telescope<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Where other planetary cameras need a Barlow lens to get enough resolution, this camera achieves that from the pixel size itself. With a refractor with a medium focal length, that already yields a usable planetary disk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The field of view remains small. For overview shots of the Moon, you are more likely to choose the veLOX 678.<\/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 also makes the camera suitable for guiding.<\/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

C- and CS-mount thread with 1.25-inch filter thread via the adapter. The housing is 72.4 mm long and weighs 90 grams.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
