Omegon Camera veLOX 287 C Color

Meet the Omegon Pro veLOX 287, a high-speed camera tailored for planetary, lunar, and solar astrophotography, along with autoguiding capabilities. Boasting exceptionally large pixels, this camera is primed for use with long focal lengths.

Elevate Your Astrophotography Game: From capturing the intricate shadows of Jupiter's moons to revealing the detailed features of Saturn's rings and the rugged terrain of the Moon, the Omegon Pro veLOX 287 excels in immortalizing the celestial wonders of our solar system. Thanks to its high framerate capability, turbulent atmospheric conditions, known as "seeing," are effectively frozen, allowing for crisp, detailed images. Leveraging the Region-Of-Interest feature in the included Omegon AstroPhotoCapture software optimizes framerate by targeting specific areas of interest on the sensor.

Unleash Deep-Sky Exploration: Revolutionize your deep-sky imaging endeavors with the unparalleled sensitivity of the modern CMOS chip embedded in the Omegon Pro veLOX 287. With its high quantum efficiency and minimal read noise, this camera unlocks elusive faint objects, capturing details imperceptible through visual astronomy alone.

Precision Autoguiding: Navigate the cosmos with confidence using the Omegon Pro veLOX 287, which ensures reliable autoguiding in any celestial setting. Its high-sensitivity CMOS sensor guarantees a plethora of guide stars, facilitating precise tracking corrections with short exposure times and high guiding frequencies. Native compatibility with PHD2 and an inbuilt ST4 Guide-Port make it the ultimate companion for your 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 are equipped with an infrared-blocking filter, crucial 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 287 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.
