The SIGETA T3CMOS 18000 18.0MP USB3.0 Astronomy Camera features a high-sensitivity 18 Megapixel CMOS sensor, which delivers bright, high-contrast images with low noise and excellent detail, resulting in high-quality photos and videos of both solar system and deep-space objects. The large sensor size enables high-speed shooting with fairly high image resolution: 32 fps at 1228x922 megapixel resolution.
The supplied ToupSky image editing and recording software provides the user with various settings for full control of the camera: changing exposure, white balance, noise removal, multiple exposures, image rotation and reflection, Live View preview, single-frame recording and much more.
The camera connects to a PC or laptop via USB 3.0 for high-speed data transfer.
