Planetary Camera Bundle with Telescope Camera

SV305C is an entry-level color planetary camera that delivers excellent performance in planetary, solar, and lunar photography, making it highly suitable for EAA (Electronically Assisted Astronomy) applications. The SV305 planetary camera utilizes the IMX662 sensor, a 1/2.8" back-illuminated sensor with a 2.9um pixel size that can accommodate a full well charge of 38ke, effectively avoiding overexposure.

The IMX662 sensor boasts low readout noise, no glow, and improved near-infrared (NIR) sensitivity, particularly in the red spectral band, resulting in significantly enhanced light sensitivity. The SV305 planetary camera has been equipped with two dedicated modes in the Sharpcap software: the planetary high-speed mode and the sky space long exposure mode. These modes can be quickly set with a single key press according to the specific shooting requirements and can be saved for convenient one-key setting in the future.

The SV305 astronomy camera features a back-illuminated CMOS (BSI CMOS) sensor, the IMX290, which offers extremely high quantum efficiency (QE) and very low (0.7e-) read noise, significantly improving sensitivity in the visible-light and near-infrared light regions for industrial applications. The SV305 astronomy camera also supports any area ROI (Region of Interest), allowing a smaller region of the sensor to be read out while maintaining the image scale of the object being imaged, enabling the setting of arbitrary resolutions.

The SV305 comes with a 1.25-inch extension tube, which is designed with M28.5*6 filter threads. This allows users to attach a light pollution filter when capturing planets in urban environments, resulting in better image quality.

In summary, the SV305C is a versatile and capable entry-level planetary camera that delivers excellent performance in various astronomical applications, including planetary, solar, and lunar photography. Its advanced sensor technology, user-friendly software features, and the included accessories make it a compelling choice for astronomy enthusiasts.
