Omegon Camera veTEC 533 C Color

Introducing the Omegon Pro veTEC 533, the upgraded successor to the esteemed veTEC 16000 camera. This advanced model features a new square Sony IMX533 sensor, representing a significant leap forward while retaining the same pixel size of 3.8µm:

Enhanced Features:

• Improved Quantum Efficiency: Achieving approximately 80% efficiency for superior light sensitivity.
• Reduced Readout Noise: Now at a mere 1.3e- @Unity Gain, ensuring cleaner images with less interference.
• Higher Full-Well Capacity: Choose between 50,000 e- or 100,000 e- to suit your specific exposure needs.
• ADC: Upgraded to 14-bit for precise color rendering and expanded dynamic range.
• Zero-Amp-Glow: Eliminate unwanted amplifier glow for even clearer images.

The result is a camera that delivers even less noise and greater dynamic range, enhancing your astrophotography experience.

Professional Deep-Sky Astrophotography: With its large square sensor, the veTEC 533 is perfectly suited for capturing wide nebulas, star fields, and lunar landscapes, rivaling the performance of DSLR cameras.

Thermoelectric Cooling: Experience reduced image noise with the advanced cooling system, maintaining temperatures up to 40°C below ambient for exceptionally clean final images.

USB-Hub: Streamline your setup with two integrated USB ports, allowing easy connection of additional devices like guiding cameras through a single hub, minimizing cable clutter.

Adaptable Design: With its T2 thread and short back focus of only 17.5mm, the camera can seamlessly integrate into almost any astrophotography setup. The included 2" nosepiece adapter ensures hassle-free connection to telescopes.

Robust Portability: Transport and store the camera securely in the provided sturdy carrying case, complete with custom-fit foam inlet for added protection.

Professional Planetary, Lunar, and Solar Astrophotography: Capture stunning images of celestial objects with high framerates and USB 3.0 connectivity, facilitated by sophisticated electronics and ample bandwidth.

Transmission: Equipped with a filter window to safeguard the sensor chamber from dust and humidity. The veTEC 533 color variant features an infrared-blocking filter for accurate color reproduction, while the mono variant offers versatile transmission control for advanced applications.

Compatibility: Seamlessly integrate with a wide range of astrophotography programs through common interfaces like ASCOM and INDI. Enjoy native compatibility with popular software suites such as PHD2 and N.I.N.A.
