Colour camera

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

Active cooling

Active cooling

For long exposure times, many CCD cameras are cooled to reduce thermal noise and achieve higher image quality. CCD cameras are grouped into three categories:
- no cooling
- passive cooling via cooling fins
- active cooling (e.g. using a fan and Peltier element)

Megapixel

Megapixel

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

Resolution Photograph (Pixel)

Resolution photo

The resolution of a sensor is expressed as the total number of pixels. In digital cameras it is usually specified in megapixels. However, the specification of the number of single pixels in a vertical and horizontal row is more precise, for example 2048x2048.

Size of chip (mm)

Chip size

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

Antiblooming

Antiblooming

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.

Connection (to the telescope)

Connection (to the telescope)

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

Interfaces

Interfaces

The interface is the type of connection or cable between the device (e.g. a camera) and computer, such as: USB, RS232, firewire or analogue video.

Dark current

Dark current

Electrons are released in each pixel, whether they are illuminated by photons or not. Each CCD chip generates a certain amount of thermal energy and thus an amplifying signal. As soon as the image of the CCD chip is read out, you will see a noisy image.

Full Well Capacity

Full well capacity

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.

Reading noise

Read noise

Each CCD camera tends to produce image noise, an interference that appears as a kind of unattractive grain on the image. The issue is especially important with longer exposure times. In addition to the general noise, there is also a noise generated by the process of reading the image: the read noise.

Bit depth (Bit)

Bit depth

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.
