Cooled Astrophotography Camera - 11.7MP CMOS Telescope Camera

The SV405CC is a cooled color astronomy camera designed for deep sky astrophotography. Featuring a back-illuminated IMX294 CMOS sensor, the camera boasts a resolution of 4144x2822 (11.7 megapixels) and can capture images at up to 19 frames per second in 4K resolution.

One of the key advantages of the SV405CC is its exceptional low-light performance, with an SNR1s of 0.14 lux. This is achieved through the use of a large-size optical system and an expanded pixel area of 4.63μm. The camera also supports an HCG (High Conversion Gain) mode, which reduces read noise without compromising dynamic range when the gain is set to 120 or higher.

The SV405CC's cooling system is another standout feature. Utilizing a two-stage TEC (Thermoelectric Cooler), the camera can lower the CMOS sensor temperature by up to 30°C below ambient, significantly reducing dark current and sensor noise, even during longer exposure times.

The camera is compatible with a wide range of operating systems, including Windows, Linux, macOS, Chrome OS, and Raspberry Pi, and can be used with various astrophotography software such as AstroDMx Capture, SharpCap, N.I.N.A., and TheSkyX through the ASCOM platform.

The SV405CC's versatility is further enhanced by its support for different shooting modes. The camera can capture visible light with an IR-cut filter, as well as infrared with various filters such as IR685 and IR850.

The SV405CC is an excellent choice for deep sky astrophotography, with its high-resolution sensor, exceptional low-light performance, and advanced cooling system. Whether you're capturing stunning images of nebulae, galaxies, or star clusters, this camera is sure to deliver exceptional results.
