Omegon Camera veLOX 224 C Color

Introducing the Omegon Pro veLOX 224, a high-speed camera designed to excel in planetary, lunar, and solar astrophotography while doubling as an Autoguider.

Elevate Your Astrophotography Experience: Capture the intricate details of Jupiter's moons, the separations within Saturn's rings, the rugged terrain of the Moon, or the mesmerizing prominences on the solar surface with unprecedented clarity. Leveraging a high framerate to freeze atmospheric turbulences, this 'lucky imaging' technique is effortlessly achieved through sophisticated electronics and the high bandwidth of the camera's USB 3.0. Maximize performance with the Region-Of-Interest feature of the included Omegon AstroPhotoCapture software, optimizing framerate by targeting specific regions of interest on the sensor.

Seamless Deep-Sky Exploration: Simplify the imaging of nebulas and galaxies with the high sensitivity of the modern CMOS chip within the Omegon Pro veLOX 224. Unlock elusive faint objects, showcasing details imperceptible through visual astronomy alone, thanks to the chip's high quantum efficiency and minimal read noise.

Precision Autoguiding: Navigate the celestial sphere with confidence, as the Omegon Pro veLOX 224 ensures reliable autoguiding in any setting. Its high-sensitivity CMOS sensor guarantees a plethora of guide stars, enabling precise tracking corrections with short exposure times and high guiding frequencies. Native compatibility with PHD2 and an inbuilt ST4 Guide-Port make it the ideal camera for all autoguiding needs.

Functional Design for Seamless Integration: Crafted from durable anodized aluminum, the camera's ergonomic design ensures compatibility with a wide range of telescopes. Featuring C- & CS-Mount threads, or a standard 1.25" filter thread via an adapter, it facilitates seamless attachment of various accessories, from CCTV lenses to astronomical filters.

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, enabling unrestricted customization of transmission curves.

Broad Compatibility and Versatility: The Omegon Pro veLOX 224 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.
