Omegon veTEC 294 C Color Camera – cooled astrophotography camera
The veTEC 294 C offers a large Four Thirds colour sensor and active cooling. Its high full-well capacity supports imaging scenes with both bright and faint structures; the 2-inch filter connection suits many common astrophotography setups.
Applications
The Four Thirds colour sensor supports one-shot-colour imaging. Its sensor area and 2-inch filter connection suit a range of deep-sky configurations; check that the optical train illuminates the sensor evenly.
