SVBONY SV305 Pro Color Camera for Guiding or Planetary with IR Filter

The SV305 Pro from SVBONY is an advanced color astronomy camera, specially designed for planetary, lunar imaging, and some bright deep space objects. Equipped with an extremely sensitive Sony IMX290 CMOS sensor, this camera offers outstanding performance for astrophotography enthusiasts.

Main features:

ST4 Guiding:

• Equipped with an ST4 guiding port, the SV305 Pro is compatible with PHD2 guiding software and the ASCOM platform, offering precise guiding for astrophotography.

CMOS IMX290 Sensor:

• Uses a back-illuminated Sony IMX290 CMOS sensor with a high QE of 80% and a very low read noise of 0.75e, allowing for clear and detailed images.

High Speed and Long Exposure:

• Captures up to 120 frames per second at a resolution of 1920 x 1080.
• Allows long exposures up to 30 minutes, ideal for imaging some bright deep space objects.

128 MB Integrated Image Buffer and USB3.0 Interface:

• The 128 MB DDRII image buffer ensures stable and fast image transmission, without frame loss.

ROI Function:

• The ROI (Region of Interest) function allows capturing specific details with a higher frame rate, optimizing planetary and lunar imaging.
