THE OMEGON PRO VELOX 178 IS A HIGH SPEED ASTROCAMERA, IDEAL FOR PHOTOGRAPHY OF PLANETS, MOON AND SUN. WITH THE BIGGEST SENSOR AND FINEST PIXELS IN THE VELOX CAMERA SERIES, IT ALSO SERVES THE PERFECT AUTOGUIDE: HIGH ACCURACY AND ALWAYS A SUITABLE STAR IN THE FIELD OF VIEW!

PROFESSIONAL ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY OF THE PLANETS, THE MOON AND THE SUN: THE SHADOWS OF THE MOONS OF JUPITER, THE DIVISIONS IN THE RINGS OF SATURN, THE DETAILED MOUNTAIN RANGES ON THE MOON'S SURFACE AND THE MASSIVE BUMPS ON THE SUN - THESE IMPRESSIVE OBJECTS IN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM CAN ONLY BE PHOTOGRAPHED AT A HIGH FRAME CAPTURE FREQUENCY: THIS FREEZES THE TURBULENCE IN OUR ATMOSPHERE (SO-CALLED SEEING), WHICH USUALLY MAKES SMALL DETAILS UNREcognizable. THANKS TO THE SOPHISTICATED ELECTRONICS AND HIGH DATA TRANSFER SPEED OF USB3.0 CAMERAS, THIS LUCKY-IMAGING TECHNIQUE IS NOW CHILD'S PLAY. WE RECOMMEND THE REGION-OF-INTEREST FUNCTION OF THE INCLUDED OMEGON ASTROPHOTOCAPTURE SOFTWARE: THIS ALLOWS YOU TO OPTIMIZE THE CAPTURE FREQUENCY BECAUSE ONLY THE RELEVANT PART OF THE SENSOR IS READ.

DEEP SKY ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY: THE HIGH SENSITIVITY OF THIS MODERN CMOS SENSOR MAKES PHOTOGRAPHING NEBULA AND GALAXIES MUCH EASIER THAN IT WAS A FEW YEARS AGO. THESE FIMPLE OBJECTS ARE DIFFICULT TO CAPTURE, BUT THANKS TO THE HIGH QUANTUM EFFICIENCY AND LOW SENSOR READING NOISE, DETAILS CAN BE IMAGINED THAT CANNOT BE SEEN WITH PURELY VISUAL ASTRONOMY.

AUTOGUIDE: FIND A SUITABLE GUIDE STAR WON'T BE A PROBLEM ANYMORE! THANKS TO THE HIGH SENSITIVITY OF MODERN CMOS SENSORS, EVEN WEAK STARS CAN BE USED. TRACKING CORRECTION WITH SHORT EXPOSURE TIMES AND HIGH GUIDE FREQUENCY COMPENSATES FOR LARGE OR SMALL TRACKING ERRORS BY THE MOUNT. THE CAMERA WAS BORN TO BE COMPATIBLE WITH PHD2 AND HAS AN ST4 GUIDE PORT: THE IDEAL AUTOGUIDE!

WELL-DESIGNED SHAPE: THE STURDY ANODIZED ALUMINUM HOUSING IS SHAPED LIKE A 1.25" EYEPIECE AND FITS INTO ANY TELESCOPE. BECAUSE ITS LIGHTWEIGHT, YOUR EQUIPMENT WON'T BE UNDERSTONE ADDITIONALLY. THE CHAMBER HAS A THREAD FOR FITTING ACE CS OR (VIA AN ADAPTER) A STANDARD 1.25" THREAD FILTER. SMALL CCTV LENSES AND A LARGE SELECTION OF ASTRONOMICAL FILTERS CAN THEREFORE BE CONNECTED WITHOUT PROBLEMS.

TRANSMISSION: A FILTER PROTECTS THE CAMERA SENSOR FROM DUST AND MOISTURE. THE OMEGON PRO COLOR CAMERAS ARE EQUIPPED WITH AN INFRARED BLOCKING FILTER. CMOS SENSORS ALSO MEASURE INCIDENT INFRARED LIGHT AND MAKE CORRECT COLOR REPRODUCTION IN THE FINAL IMAGE IMPOSSIBLE. ON THE CONTRARY, OMEGON PRO SINGLE CAMERAS HAVE AN ANTI-REFLECTION WINDOW, WHICH ALSO LETS IN ULTRAVIOLET AND INFRARED LIGHT IN ADDITION TO VISIBLE LIGHT. THEN, BY USING ADDITIONAL FILTERS YOU HAVE COMPLETE CONTROL OVER THE TRANSMISSION CURVE - A CRITICAL REQUIREMENT FOR ADVANCED PHOTOGRAPHIC OR PHOTOMETRIC APPLICATIONS.

PRACTICAL PHOTOGRAPHING SOFTWARE: THE OMEGON ASTROPHOTOCAPTURE SOFTWARE, WHICH IS INCLUDED, ALLOWS SIMPLE AND EASY-TO-LEARN CAMERA CONTROL. THE CORRECT CAMERA SETTINGS ARE CRUCIAL TO THE SUCCESS OF ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY. ASTROPHOTOCAPTURE GIVES YOU FULL CONTROL OVER ALL ESSENTIAL PARAMETERS - WITHOUT NAVIGATING THROUGH AN OVERLOADED INTERFACE. SIMPLE TUTORIALS EXPLAIN THE STEP-BY-STEP IMAGE CAPTURING PROCESS TO SUCCESSFULLY CROWN YOUR FIRST NIGHT OF ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY. THE SOFTWARE IS COMPATIBLE WITH WINDOWS 8 AND 10.

COMPATIBILITY: OMEGON PRO CAMERAS ARE COMPATIBLE WITH A WIDE RANGE OF ACQUISITION SOFTWARE THROUGH THE COMMON ASCOM AND INDI INTERFACES. ALSO AVAILABLE NATIVE COMPATIBILITY WITH A GROWING NUMBER OF PROGRAMS SUCH AS PHD2 AND NINA
