Touptek Astro camera - observe deep sky objects live on the screen
This camera not only lets you photograph the stars, but allows you to observe planets, nebulae and galaxies live on your monitor!
Video observing is the new concept for using highly sensitive sensors. With only short exposure times necessary, you can observe most Messier objects and many NGC objects. Ideal for tours in an observatory or for star parties at home.
Bring the universe into your garden!
The advantages in a nutshell:
- Live Video - Deep Sky objects on the screen
- with only 10 sec of exposure, objects appear as if through the eyepiece
- power supply only via USB cable
- automatic Dark Field subtraction - images looks significantly less noisy
- up to 42 frames per second
- Telescopes with long focal lengths
- Its excellent sensitivity means this camera is naturally suited for deep sky imaging, but it is also suitable for planetary imaging. With a pixel size of 8.6x8.3 microns, the ½" Sony ICX429 sensor works well with telescopes of 1100mm focal length or longer.
- This means the camera is perfect for well-known scopes such as:
- 200/1000 Newtonians
- 250/1200 Newtonians
- 127/1000 refractors, and many more.
