Camera STX-16803 / FW7-STX Set

Specifies the total number of pixels. With this handy value you can compare the resolutions of different cameras.

Colour cameras produce quick results, monochrome cameras capture more detail.

The chip size comprises the outer dimensions of the chip. The larger the chip, the larger the image field produced.

The full well capacity indicates how many electrons a single pixel can hold. The larger the chip, the more sensitive it is to light, and the more electrons it can absorb. But what does that mean? The noise is reduced at a large full well capacity and the ability to reproduce very bright and dark objects simultaneously increases.

Prevents light from overflowing into an adjacent pixel in the event of overexposure. If the light from a star were to run into another pixel, a vertical spike could appear on the image.

The minimum exposure time, in seconds, that is possible with this camera.

Specifies the product's connection or connection thread on the telescope connection end. The same adapter dimension must always be available on the telescope.

The bit depth is also referred to as the dynamic range of a chip. The number of bits in a picture also determines how many different shades of grey can be displayed. The depth of the image information depends directly on it. In an image taken with 1 bit depth, you will only see black and white dots. In this case, you can hardly call it a picture. Many details that the naked eye can discern are missing. 16 bits means the presentation of more than 65.000 shades of grey.
