Bresser Optik 4959050 Full HD Deep-Sky & Guider 1.25" HD Wi-Fi camera

Enter the world of astrophotography now. With the Full HD Deep Sky and Planet camera with ST4 Autoguider function.

This is really new: Equipped with the new highly sensitive SONY IMX290 CMOS color sensor, this camera delivers amazing image results through extremely short exposure times even with simple telescope equipment. In addition, this ultra-modern camera can also be used as an auto-guider, for example, to actively pursue the main recording device with mirror reflex or CCD-astrocamera. An all-round camera that not only delivers super-sharp planetary images, but can also be used especially well for the recording of low-light deep sky celestial objects such as galaxies, nebulae and star clusters.

The secret of high light sensitivity is the new CMOS sensor from SONY, which is exposed on the back. This increases the quantum efficiency to up to 77% at 533nm, which means an extremely high light yield and thus provides particularly bright and high-contrast photos. In addition, the ultra-low noise level of this new generation of Sony chip ensures exceptional brilliance and no cooling is required. Through the high native pixel resolution of 1936x1096, together with suitable telescopes very beautiful overview pictures of the moon, but also detailed planetary pictures are possible.

The ToupSky professional software included in the delivery not only offers the necessary basic functions for image and video recording, but also many additional helpful special functions for image editing and for setting up the Guide. Functions such as live image display, exposure settings, white balance, dark image print, stacking, timeline recordings and much more can be configured individually. The very sophisticated software makes it really easy for you to get started with astrophotography. With the automatic settings, you can generate absolutely presentable results even without a lot of prior knowledge. If you want, simply switch off the automatic settings and venture gradually to the individual professional settings.

Connect the camera directly to the ST4 connection of your telescope mount and you have a fully automatic tracking control. Thus, long-term exposures of several minutes are possible without the stars producing unwanted line traces due to the constant synchronization fluctuations of a telescope mount. A corresponding ST-4 connection cable is included with the camera. Due to the high light sensitivity of the camera, you will always find a suitable master star even at very short exposure times. For connection to guide tubes or off-axis guides, the camera has a 1.25" sleeve, 1.25" filter thread (M28.5x0.6) and C-mount thread (1"x1/32").

N.B.:
This is not a stand-alone camera. A computer with Windows 7, 8 or 10 is required for photography as well as for autoguiding.
The Autoguider software is not included in the delivery. Among others, PHD Guiding, Guidedog, Metafide, Guidemaster (freeware) or AstroArt, Maxim DL (chargeable) can be used.
