Omegon Camera veLOX 290 C Color

Introducing the Omegon Pro veLOX 290, a high-speed camera tailored for planetary, lunar, and solar astrophotography, boasting small pixels and Full HD capability. Additionally, it serves admirably as an autoguider.

Unlock the Depths of the Cosmos: Delve into the intricate landscapes of our solar system, from the enigmatic shadows of Jupiter's moons to the ethereal beauty of Saturn's rings. With its high framerate and advanced 'lucky imaging' technique, this camera freezes atmospheric turbulence, revealing details previously hidden from view. Leverage the Region-Of-Interest feature in the Omegon AstroPhotoCapture software to enhance framerate by targeting specific areas of interest on the sensor.

Illuminate the Depths of Space: Journey into the cosmic unknown and capture the delicate nuances of nebulae and galaxies with unparalleled clarity. Thanks to its modern CMOS chip's high sensitivity, coupled with exceptional quantum efficiency and minimal read noise, even the faintest celestial objects come to life, offering insights beyond visual astronomy.

Guiding Stars to Your Destination: Navigate the celestial realm with confidence, as this camera's high sensitivity CMOS sensor ensures reliable autoguiding. Guide effortlessly with short exposure times and high guiding frequencies, correcting even the minutest tracking errors with precision. Native compatibility with leading software such as PHD2, coupled with an inbuilt ST4 Guide-Port, makes this camera your ultimate autoguiding companion.

Crafted for Functionality: Designed from robust anodized aluminum, this camera seamlessly integrates with telescopes of all sizes. Its lightweight construction exerts minimal strain on your equipment, while its versatile front end, equipped with C- & CS-Mount threads or a standard 1.25" filter thread, facilitates direct attachment of various accessories, from CCTV lenses to astronomical filters.

Enhanced Imaging Experience: Safeguarding the sensor chamber from environmental contaminants, a filter window ensures pristine image quality. Equipped with an infrared-blocking filter, the Omegon Pro color cameras ensure accurate color representation, while the mono cameras feature an anti-reflection window, offering unrestricted control over transmission curves for advanced imaging and photometric applications.

Broad Compatibility and Versatility: Compatible with a wide array of astrophotography software through interfaces like ASCOM and INDI, the Omegon Pro veLOX 290 seamlessly integrates into your imaging workflow. Native compatibility with prominent programs such as PHD2 and N.I.N.A. further enhances its versatility.
