The Imaging Source Camera DMK 33UX290.AS USB 3.0 Mono

Introducing the Signature Series, the next evolution of astronomy cameras, engineered to industrial standards for durability and affordability. Perfectly tailored for lunar, planetary, and solar astrophotography, these cameras boast cutting-edge CMOS technology. Exceptionally light-sensitive and delivering unparalleled image quality, they excel in low-light conditions.

Sony CMOS STARVIS Chip

Equipped with a state-of-the-art progressive scan CMOS chip, renowned for its superior quality, this camera is a common choice in scientific, industrial, and medical imaging.

No Compression, No IR Cut Filter

The DMK and DBK cameras maintain the integrity of the captured video stream by avoiding compression, ensuring that the raw video data is directly transferred to your computer. They also forego an IR cut filter, preserving the authenticity of celestial images.

High-Speed Data Transfer via USB 3.0

To accommodate the massive volume of uncompressed, lossless images, the camera features a rapid USB 3.0 interface for swift data transfer to your host PC.

Included Software

Each camera comes with essential software, including device drivers and the user-friendly camera control and image acquisition application, IC Capture.AS, compatible with Windows 10, 7, Vista, and XP (32 and 64 bit).

Colour or Mono?

While black and white cameras offer superior sensitivity and resolution, achieving color images requires additional effort, including color filters and a filter wheel.
