Omegon Camera veTEC 16000 C Color

Introducing the Omegon Pro veTEC 16000 Camera, the quintessential tool for professional astrophotography across all domains. Boasting a sizable sensor and advanced thermoelectric cooling, it's tailor-made for deep-sky imaging while excelling in lunar, planetary, and solar photography.

Professional Deep-Sky Astrophotography: With its expansive sensor, this camera captures wide nebulas, star fields, and intricate lunar landscapes with unparalleled clarity, akin to DSLR cameras but optimized for astrophotography.

Thermoelectric Cooling: Experience pristine image quality with the innovative cooling system, effectively eliminating noise caused by dark current at temperatures up to 40°C below ambient. Precise temperature control ensures consistent calibration, resulting in remarkably clean final images.

USB Hub: Streamline your astrophotography setup with the integrated USB hub featuring two ports, reducing cable clutter and allowing daisy-chaining of additional devices such as guiding cameras. Say goodbye to multiple individual connections to your PC.

Versatile Adaptability: Seamlessly integrate the camera into any astrophotography configuration with its T2 thread and short 17.5mm back focus. The included 2" nosepiece adapter simplifies attachment to telescopes, ensuring compatibility across setups.

Robust Portability: Transport and store your valuable camera with peace of mind, thanks to the sturdy case featuring a custom-fit foam inlet, providing optimal protection during transit or storage.

Professional Planetary, Lunar, and Solar Astrophotography: Capture the intricate details of celestial phenomena like Jupiter's moons, Saturn's rings, lunar mountain ranges, and solar prominences with exceptional clarity, courtesy of high framerates and advanced USB3.0 connectivity.

Transmission: Safeguard the sensor from dust and humidity with the integrated filter window. Color cameras feature an infrared-blocking filter for accurate color representation, while mono cameras offer versatile transmission control for advanced applications.

Compatibility: Seamlessly integrate the camera with a variety of astrophotography programs via common interfaces like ASCOM and INDI. Enjoy native compatibility with leading software suites such as PHD2 and N.I.N.A.
