IS Color GigE camera with IR cut filter - 640x480 pixels

The Imaging Source DBK 21AG618.AS

Color GigE camera for astronomy without IR cut filter.

Fast display of color images
IC Capture.AS also takes over the color interpolation of the raw color data (RAW format) supplied by the CCD camera and thus relieves the processor of the camera. If, on the other hand, the PC must be unloaded, the telescope camera can also take over the color interpolation. In this case, the maximum frame rate is 30 frames/s. Of course, you can also do without color interpolation altogether and create the AVI files with images in RAW format.

Sony Color CCD
The telescope camera DBK21 uses a modern color CCD (ICX098BQ, progressive scan, manufacturer Sony®). It offers a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels at a format of 1/4". Its noise is low even at long exposure times. The high quality of the CCD also allows it to be used in scientific image processing.

Fast transmission thanks to GigE
The astronomy camera produces a high rate of uncompressed monochrome images. To be able to transmit them, it requires a very fast interface - GigE. The other advantage of GigE is that you can use very long cables without any problems.
