Camera Titan Mono

Indicates the type or construction of the chip.

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.

The maximum exposure time in minutes that is possible with this camera.

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.

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.

A camera that takes over the automatic tracking control during exposure, and corrects it independently.

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.

This refers to whether a filter wheel is integrated in the camera housing, or is included in the scope of delivery as an external filter wheel.
