Omegon Camera veLOX 287 M Mono

Introducing the Omegon Pro veLOX 287, a high-speed camera designed to excel in planetary, lunar, and solar astrophotography, as well as autoguiding. Boasting large pixels, this camera offers exceptional sensitivity, making it an ideal match for long focal lengths.

Elevate Your Astrophotography: Capture the intricate details of Jupiter's moons, the delicate separations in Saturn's rings, the rugged terrain of the Moon, or the mesmerizing prominences on the sun's surface with unprecedented clarity. The camera's high framerate capability freezes atmospheric turbulence, enabling the capture of elusive details through the "lucky imaging" technique. Utilize the Region-Of-Interest feature in the Omegon AstroPhotoCapture software to optimize framerate by focusing on specific areas of interest on the sensor.

Deep-Sky Exploration Made Easy: Experience a new level of ease in imaging nebulae and galaxies, thanks to the modern CMOS chip's high sensitivity. Despite their faintness, these celestial objects reveal intricate details, previously imperceptible through visual astronomy, owing to the sensor's high quantum efficiency and minimal read noise.

Precision Autoguiding: Navigate the celestial sphere with confidence, as this camera ensures reliable autoguiding with its high-sensitivity CMOS sensor. Even faint stars are suitable guide stars, facilitating precise tracking corrections with short exposure times and high guiding frequencies. With native compatibility with PHD2 and an inbuilt ST4 Guide-Port, it's the ultimate tool for autoguiding.

Functional Design for Seamless Integration: Crafted from robust anodized aluminum, the camera's ergonomic design seamlessly integrates with a variety of telescopes. Equipped with C- & CS-Mount threads or a standard 1.25" filter thread, it allows direct attachment of various accessories, from CCTV lenses to astronomical filters.

Enhanced Transmission for Superior Imaging: Protecting the sensor chamber from external elements, a filter window ensures optimal image quality. While the Omegon Pro color cameras feature an infrared-blocking filter for accurate color reproduction, the mono cameras boast an anti-reflection window, enabling unrestricted customization of transmission curves.

Broad Compatibility and Versatility: Compatible with a wide range of astrophotography software through common interfaces like ASCOM and INDI, the Omegon Pro veLOX 287 offers seamless integration into your imaging workflow. Native compatibility with leading programs such as PHD2 and N.I.N.A. further enhances its versatility.
