SV305M Monochrome Planetary Camera with IMX290 CMOS Sensor and ST4 Guidance

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

Monochrome CMOS Sensor Sensitivity:

• Sensor model: SONY IMX290LLR-C, featuring high sensitivity and low read noise.
• Sensor size: 1/2.8 inch with a resolution of 2M pixels (1944x1096).
• Pixel size: 2.9μm x 2.9μm, allowing to capture the finest details.
• 6.46mm diagonal line for optimum image coverage.
• 80% quantum efficiency for excellent visible and near-infrared light capture.
• Anti-reflective (AR) coating improves light transmission and reduces glare.

Fast and Efficient Data Transmission:

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

Advanced Imaging Features:

• ROI (Region of Interest) function allows reading a specific region of the sensor, thus increasing the frame rate without changing the scale.
• 2x2 BIN (Binning) function to merge pixels and improve sensitivity.
• Maximum frame rate : 130 FPS at 1920x1080 and up to 500 FPS at 320x240 to capture smooth footage.
• Electronic Rolling Shutter with an exposure range of 0.03ms to 2000s.

Precise Automatic Guidance:

• ST4 guidance port compatible with PHD2 software and ASCOM platform for precise autoguiding.
• 1.5 meter guide 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-bit for high color depth.
• Operating conditions: Temperature from -10℃ to +50℃, humidity from 30% to 80%.

Benefits :

• High light sensitivity thanks to the IMX290 sensor, ideal for low light images.
• Stable data transmission with built-in buffer memory, even on slower computers.
• Advanced guidance features for precise and easy autoguiding.
• Simple and flexible use thanks to multi-system compatibility and USB 3.0 interface.

Recommended Applications:
