Omegon Camera veTEC 571 C Color

The Omegon Camera veTEC 571 C Color is designed for astrophotographers who want to combine high detail and a large field of view. The Sony IMX571 sensor gives you 26 megapixels and high quantum efficiency, making this camera excellent for deep-sky photography.

The cooling can cool back to 35 °C below ambient temperature and provides images with very low noise, even at long exposures. The back-illuminated sensor is virtually amp-glow-free and delivers sharp, high-contrast images of nebulae and galaxies. Because this version is a color sensor, you capture RGB images directly without filter wheels.

Thanks to the built-in USB hub, an accessory, such as a guiding camera or focuser, can be connected directly. This reduces the number of loose cables. The camera fits all common telescopes thanks to its T2 and 2” connector.

What makes this camera special?

The veTEC 571 C Color delivers the same performance as the well-known ASI2600MC Pro, but adds a built-in USB hub and a solid housing. For astrophotographers who want to combine the convenience of a color camera with wide dynamic range and high image quality, this is one of the most complete APS-C cameras you can choose.
