Omegon Camera veTEC 571 M Mono

Presenting the Omegon Pro veTEC 571 M, the eagerly awaited monochrome counterpart to the acclaimed veTEC 571 C astro-camera!

Key Features:

• APS-C Format: The camera boasts an APS-C format, ideal for professional astrophotography endeavors.
• High Quantum Efficiency: Achieve approximately 80% quantum efficiency for superior light sensitivity.
• Low Readout Noise: Experience minimal interference with a low readout noise of just 1.5e-.
• High Full-Well Capacity: Choose between 50,000 e- or 100,000 e- full-well capacity for versatile exposures.
• 16-Bit ADC: Enjoy precise color rendering and an extended dynamic range with a 16-bit ADC.
• Zero-Amp-Glow: Eliminate undesirable amplifier glow for pristine images.

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

Thermoelectric Cooling: Benefit from advanced cooling technology, which effectively reduces image noise, particularly at temperatures 30°C below ambient, ensuring exceptionally clean final images.

Streamlined Connectivity: With two USB ports located at the camera's rear, minimize cable clutter and simplify setup. Additional devices such as guiding cameras can be easily daisy-chained through this hub.

Versatile Adaptability: Thanks to its T2 thread and short 17.5mm back focus, the camera seamlessly integrates into various astrophotography setups. Moreover, the included 2" nosepiece adapter facilitates straightforward connection to telescopes.

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

Professional Planetary, Lunar, and Solar Astrophotography: Capture stunning images of celestial phenomena with high frame rates and USB 3.0 connectivity, enabled by advanced electronics and ample bandwidth.

Transmission: Safeguard the sensor chamber from dust and humidity with the filter window. The monochrome variant features an anti-reflection window, transparent to a wide range of wavelengths from ultraviolet to infrared, allowing for unrestricted control over the transmission curve.

Compatibility: Seamlessly integrate the camera with a wide range of astrophotography programs through common interfaces like ASCOM and INDI. Native compatibility with popular software suites such as PHD2 and N.I.N.A. ensures a smooth user experience.
