The SBIG Aluma CCD series are the perfect research-grade camera for photo–metry or image acquisition and astrophotography with modest-sized telescopes.
詳細介紹

The Aluma series supports a wide range of accessories, including the 8-position FW8S-Aluma filter wheel with micron-level filter positioning, StarChaser SC-2 off-axis guide camera, AO-8A Adaptive Optics accessory, and Remote Guide Head. This lightweight and compact camera includes two-stage cooling, USB 2.0 and optional WiFi 802.11 b/g/n interfaces, ultra-reliable even-illumination shutter, and fast low-noise readout.  It can be operated from a tablet or smartphone, or from a Windows, Macintosh, or Linux PC.


Aluma 694 – Incredible Sensitivity

The ICX-694 CCD is one of the best optical sensors ever produced, with peak quantum efficiency over 75%, very broad spectral sensitivity, and extraordinary blue sensitivity.   It also has very low read noise, large dynamic range, and extremely low dark current.  This combination of high sensitivity and very low noise means you get cleaner, deeper images – faster.
