Omegon Camera veTEC 533 M Mono

Meet the Omegon Pro veTEC 533, the next evolution in astrophotography, succeeding the highly regarded veTEC 16000 camera. Featuring the cutting-edge square Sony IMX533 sensor with a consistent pixel size of 3.8µm, this camera brings a host of improvements:

Advanced Features:

• Enhanced Quantum Efficiency: Achieving approximately 80% efficiency, ensuring superior light sensitivity for clearer images.
• Reduced Readout Noise: With a low 1.3e- @Unity Gain, experience minimal interference for sharper, more detailed results.
• Expanded Full-Well Capacity: Choose from 50,000 e- or 100,000 e- to cater to your specific exposure requirements.
• 14-Bit ADC: Delivering precise color rendering and expanded dynamic range for unparalleled image quality.
• Zero-Amp-Glow: Eliminate unwanted amplifier glow for pristine images without distractions.

The result? Even less noise and an improved dynamic range for breathtaking astrophotography.

Professional Deep-Sky Astrophotography: The large square sensor is tailor-made for capturing wide nebulas, expansive star fields, and intricate lunar landscapes, rivaling the capabilities of DSLR cameras.

Thermoelectric Cooling: Equipped with advanced cooling technology, the camera minimizes thermal noise, ensuring images remain clean and crisp even at temperatures 40°C below ambient.

Streamlined Connectivity: Benefit from the convenience of two USB ports at the camera's rear, reducing cable clutter and allowing seamless connection of additional devices like guiding cameras.

Versatile Adaptability: Thanks to its T2 thread and short back focus of just 17.5mm, the camera seamlessly integrates into almost any astrophotography setup. Plus, the included 2" nosepiece adapter simplifies 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 during travel or storage.

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

Transmission: Safeguard the sensor chamber from dust and humidity with the filter window. The 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 via common interfaces like ASCOM and INDI. Enjoy native compatibility with popular software suites such as PHD2 and N.I.N.A.
