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 ensures 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 the capture of the finest details.
• Diagonal line 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 improving light transmission and reducing glare.

Fast and Efficient Data Transmission:

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

Advanced Imaging Features:

• ROI (Region of Interest) function allowing reading of a specific area of the sensor, thereby increasing the frame rate without changing the scale.
• BIN (Binning) 2x2 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.
• Electronic Rolling Shutter with an exposure range of 0.03ms to 2000s.

Precise Auto Guiding:

• ST4 guiding port compatible with PHD2 software and the ASCOM platform for precise 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 sensitivity to light thanks to the IMX290 sensor, ideal for low-light imaging.
• Stable data transmission with integrated buffering, even on slower computers.
• Advanced guiding features for precise and easy autoguiding.
• Simple and flexible usage thanks to multi-system compatibility and the USB 3.0 interface.

Recommended Applications:

• Planetary astrophotography: Capturing detailed images of planets and the Moon.
• Deep sky imaging: Using advanced features to photograph more distant celestial objects.
• Automatic guiding: 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-performing, reliable, and feature-rich camera to explore and capture the beauty of the night sky.
