Omegon Velox 462 C Camera Color: fast Full HD planetary camera in color<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The veLOX 462 C is built around the color Sony IMX462. The sensor combines high sensitivity with a very high readout speed: 152 frames per second at Full HD. That is precisely the feature that allows you to freeze the seeing in planetary photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In practice, you film for a minute or two, after which you use stacking software to select the sharpest percentage of the frames. This is how you extract detail from an image that seemed unstable live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

The sensor measures 5.6 by 3.1 mm and has 1920 x 1080 pixels of 2.9 micrometers. The readout is performed with a 14-bit ADC, which helps to prevent the bright parts of the Moon from blowing out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the region of interest function, you only read out the part of the sensor where the planet is located. As a result, the frame rate increases even further.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Lucky imaging in practice<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Jupiter rotates rapidly on its axis, so a recording sequence must not take too long. With this camera, you have enough frames for a stacked image in two minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The same approach works for the Moon. By photographing in mosaic, you build up a sharp overall image from multiple series.<\/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 veLOX 462 C is fast enough to also serve as an 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 a C- and CS-mount thread. You can use 1.25-inch filters via the included adapter. The cable length is 1.5 meters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
