Omegon Camera veTEC 432 M Mono cooled, Sensor D=17.6 mm

The Omegon Pro veTEC 432 is a professional astro camera. With the relatively large 9 µm pixels, the camera is especially suitable for telescopes from 1:8 or fainter, such as RC, EHD, SC or ACF telescopes, but also for refractors. The sensitivity is very high, even after short exposure time faint galaxies and nebulae can be seen.

Thermoelectric cooling:

The cooling system reduces noise in the image. At 40°C below ambient temperature, the noise caused by dark current is almost completely gone. In addition, the precise control of the sensor´s temperature is very helpful for calibrating your astrophotos with dark frames: They all can be made at the correct temperature. The final images are impressively clean.

Additional connectors - USB hub:

Two additional USB ports on the back of the camera reduce cable chaos! Additional devices (for example a guiding camera) can be easily connected to this hub. A separate cable connection from your PC to every single device is now a thing of the past!

Working distance - adaptation to telescope

The camera can be adapted to almost any astrophotography setup - thanks to the T2 thread and a short back focus of only 17.5 mm. Of course a 2" nosepiece adapter allows you to simply connect the camera like any 2" eyepiece.

Rugged transport case

The provided sturdy case with fitting foam inlet gives anyone peace of mind when transporting or storing this valuable camera.

Professional planetary and lunar photography

Capturing the shadows of Jupiter´s moons, divisions in Saturn´s rings, detailed mountain ranges on the Moon or impressive prominences on the surface of the sun - these impressive targets in our solar system can only be photographed properly with a very high framerate: This freezes the so called seeing, turbulences of the atmosphere that usually hide details from view. This ´lucky imaging´ technique is now a breeze, thanks to sophisticated electronics and the high bandwidth of the camera´s USB3.0. We recommend the Region-Of-Interest feature of the supplied Omegon AstroPhotoCapture software: This optimized the framerate by reading out only the relevant part of the sensor that contains the planet or detail you are interested in.

Built-in AR-coated protective filter

A filter protects the sensor chamber from dust and moisture. The Omegon Pro SW Kamreras are equipped with a protective filter that allows IR light to pass through. A UV/IR blocking filter is therefore necessary in some cases. In return, the use of additional filters gives you complete control over the transmission curve - a basic requirement for advanced photographic or photometric applications.

Convenient capture software:

The included software Omegon AstroPhotoCapture allows straightforward and easy-to-learn camera control. The correct camera settings during the capture process are crucial for astrophotography. AstroPhotoCapture gives you full control over every parameter of your camera, without an overburdening interface. Easy to follow tutorials cover the capture process step for step, to make your first astrophotography session successful. The software is compatible with Windows 7, 8 and 10.

Compatibility:

The Omegon Pro cameras are compatible with a wide range of available astrophotography programs through the common interfaces ASCOM and INDI. Native compatibility is also being added to a growing number of programs, like PHD2 and N.I.N.A.

Adapter suggestion for correctors with M48 connection and 55 mm working distance:

We suggest two adaptations. The matching accessories are linked.
