Description

Introducing the Omegon Pro veLOX 178, a high-speed camera meticulously engineered for planetary, lunar, and solar astrophotography. With its unparalleled combination of the largest sensor and smallest pixels within the veLOX series, it also serves as the ultimate autoguider, offering precision guidance with a diverse array of stars always within its field of view.

Elevate Your Astronomical Imaging: Experience the pinnacle of planetary, lunar, and solar astrophotography with the Omegon Pro veLOX 178. From capturing the intricate shadows of Jupiter's moons to revealing the subtle separations within Saturn's rings, or delving into the mesmerizing details of lunar mountain ranges and solar prominences, this camera delivers stunning imagery with unparalleled clarity. Utilizing a high framerate to freeze atmospheric turbulences, known as "seeing," this camera employs sophisticated electronics and the high bandwidth of USB 3.0 to perfect the 'lucky imaging' technique. Leverage the Region-Of-Interest feature of the included Omegon AstroPhotoCapture software to optimize framerate by targeting specific regions of interest on the sensor, ensuring unparalleled detail capture.

Unmatched Performance in Deep-Sky Astrophotography: Unlock the secrets of nebulae and galaxies with unprecedented ease, thanks to the high sensitivity of the modern CMOS chip featured in the Omegon Pro veLOX 178. This cutting-edge sensor boasts high quantum efficiency and minimal read noise, allowing for the creation of images that reveal details imperceptible through visual astronomy alone.

Seamless Autoguiding Experience: Navigate the skies with confidence, as the Omegon Pro veLOX 178 ensures a reliable autoguiding experience in any celestial setting. With its high-sensitivity CMOS sensor, even the faintest stars become viable guide stars, enabling precise tracking corrections with short exposure times and high guiding frequencies. Native compatibility with PHD2 and an inbuilt ST4 Guide-Port further solidify its status as the go-to camera for all your autoguiding needs.

Functional Design for Effortless Integration: Crafted from durable anodized aluminum, the camera's ergonomic design mirrors that of a 1.25" eyepiece, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of telescopes. Featuring C- & CS-Mount threads, or a standard 1.25" filter thread via an adapter, the Omegon Pro veLOX 178 facilitates seamless attachment of various accessories, from CCTV lenses to astronomical filters, expanding your imaging possibilities.

Enhanced Transmission for Superior Imaging: Safeguarding the sensor chamber from external elements, a filter window ensures optimal image quality. Omegon Pro color cameras come equipped with an infrared-blocking filter, essential for accurate color reproduction. Meanwhile, mono cameras feature an anti-reflection window, allowing for unrestricted customization of transmission curves, crucial for advanced imaging and photometric applications.

Broad Compatibility and Versatility: The Omegon Pro veLOX 178 seamlessly integrates with a wide range of astrophotography software through common interfaces such as ASCOM and INDI. Additionally, native compatibility with leading programs like PHD2 and N.I.N.A. ensures a seamless workflow, empowering you to unleash your creativity effortlessly.
