Moravian Camera G1-2000 Color (50299)

The Moravian G1-2000 camera is designed for users who need a lightweight, easy-to-operate imaging solution with reliable performance. Its compact build and simple operation make it suitable for a variety of astrophotography applications, particularly for capturing nebulae and galaxies. The camera uses the Sony ICX274AL CCD sensor, known for its high quantum efficiency and low read noise, ensuring quality images even in challenging conditions. While it does not use Peltier cooling, its built-in fan effectively removes heat, keeping the sensor temperature close to ambient and maintaining stable performance.

Key Advantages:

• Very lightweight and easy to use

• Sony ICX274AL sensor provides over 50% quantum efficiency and low read noise

• 16-bit digitization for high image depth

• Strong anti-blooming protection

• Fast image readout

• Effective fan cooling system

• Standard autoguider connector included

• Powered through USB connection, eliminating the need for a separate power supply

• Built-in temperature sensor for monitoring chip temperature

Colour or Monochrome:
Black and white (monochrome) cameras offer higher sensitivity and resolution than color models. However, capturing color images with a monochrome camera requires additional effort, including the use of color filters and a filter wheel.
