SV305M Monochrome Planetary Camera with IMX290 CMOS Sensor and ST4 Guiding

The SV305M Pro camera from SVBONY is a high-performance monochrome planetary camera, designed for astrophotography of planets, the Moon, and celestial objects. Equipped with an extremely sensitive CMOS sensor, it guarantees sharp and detailed images, even in low light conditions.

Sensitive Monochrome CMOS Sensor:

• Sensor model: SONY IMX290LLR-C, offering high sensitivity and low read noise.
• Sensor size: 1/2.8 inches with a resolution of 2M pixels (1944x1096).
• Pixel size: 2.9μm x 2.9μm, allowing for capturing the finest details.
• Diagonal size of 6.46 mm for optimal image coverage.
• Quantum efficiency of 80% for excellent capture of visible and near-infrared light.
• Anti-reflective (AR) coating enhancing light transmission and reducing reflections.

Fast and Efficient Data Transmission:

• High-speed USB 3.0 interface for fast data transfer, ideal for smooth and latency-free captures.
• Integrated image buffer of 128MB DDRII ensuring lossless capture even with a busy USB connection.
• USB 3.0 cable length: 2 meters for convenient use.

Advanced Imaging Functions:

• ROI (Region of Interest) function allowing to read a specific area of the sensor, thereby increasing the frame rate without changing the scale.
• 2x2 BIN (Binning) function to merge pixels and enhance sensitivity.
• Maximum frame rate: 130 FPS at 1920x1080 and up to 500 FPS at 320x240 for capturing smooth images.
• Rolling Shutter electronic shutter with an exposure range of 0.03ms to 2000s.

Precise Automatic Guiding:

• ST4 guiding port compatible with PHD2 software and ASCOM platform for accurate autoguiding.
• 1.5-meter guiding cable included for easy installation and use.

System Compatibility:

Works with Windows 8.1, Windows 10, Linux, Raspberry Pi, and Mac OS, ensuring wide compatibility with various operating systems.

Technical Specifications:

• Exposure: Auto and manual mode.
• Adjustable gain: 1-30 (auto and manual).
• ADC: 12 bits for high color depth.
• Operating conditions: Temperature from -10℃ to +50℃, humidity from 30% to 80%.

Advantages:

• High light sensitivity thanks to the IMX290 sensor, ideal for low-light imaging.
• Stable data transmission with integrated buffer, even on slower computers.
• Advanced guiding features for accurate and easy autoguiding.
• Simple and flexible use due to multi-system compatibility and USB 3.0 interface.

Recommended Applications:

• Planetary astrophotography: Capturing detailed images of planets and the Moon.
• Deep sky imaging: Using advanced functions to photograph more distant celestial objects.
• Autoguiding: Ideal for serving as a guiding camera in combination with telescopes and motorized mounts.

The SV305M Pro camera from SVBONY is an ideal choice for astrophotographers looking for a high-performance, reliable camera rich in features to explore and capture the beauty of the night sky.
