SBIG Aluma 814

The SBIG Aluma CCD cameras offer a choice of sensors allowing you to select the right pixel size and imaging array to match your application and budget.
詳細介紹
Aluma series is the high performance camera with lightweight(2.2 lbs) and compact size(4.5″ x 4.5″ x 4″ with handles). The 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.
 
The Aluma series also 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. It is available in two versions – standard version with USB and WiFi interface, and the lower-cost Aluma U series with only the USB interface.

Aluma 814 – Incredible Sensitivity
The ICX-814 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.
