ATIK Horizon monochrome CMOS camera cooled, sensor D = 21.9mm 4/3 "3.8μm

ATIK Horizon monochrome CMOS camera cooled, sensor D = 21.9 mm


The ATIK Horizon B / W camera uses a state-of-the-art Panasonic CMOS sensor with incredible sensitivity for astrophotography.
♦ Sensor: Panasonic 16/4 "CMM sensor with 16 MP diameter

♦ High resolution through 3.8 μm pixels - 4656 x 3520 pixels

♦ 256 MB DDR3 Image Buffer - for more stable data transport - prevents amplifier glowing even with USB 2.0

♦ Controlled Peltier cooling up to 40 ° C below ambient temperature

♦ Extremely low readout noise - ~ 1 e- Read Noise - ideal for short exposure times and smooth shots

♦ Short download time through USB 3.0 - can also be used with USB 2.0

♦ Fully compatible with ATIK's proven ARTEMIS software and Infinity software for optimal camera control. Alternatively, the ASCOM driver can be downloaded.

♦ Extensive scope of delivery

♦ The camera is made in Europe



ATIK Horizon SW astro camera with CMOS sensor, cooled
The Atik Horizon is Atik's first CMOS camera. This opens Atik as one of the first professional CCD camera manufacturers of this interesting technology. A state-of-the-art Panasonic Panasonic 16-MP sensor delivers sensitivity that was only possible with previous CCD cameras. In addition, the sensor convinces by an extremely low readout noise, the image is smoother and low noise, even with very short exposure times.
The advantages and product features of the ATIK Horizon CMOS cameras:

♦ 16-MP-4/3 "CMOS sensor - QE approx. 60%
♦ very high sensitivity also in H-alpha
♦ 256 MB DDR3 image buffer - no amplifier glow
♦ can be operated with USB 3.0 and with USB 2.0
♦ Powerful Peltier cooling up to 40 ° C under ambient conditions
♦ ASCOM, Artemis and Infinity software compatible
♦ High quality processed housing
♦ Back focus / working distance from the T2 thread: 13 mm
♦ The camera is also compatible with the HyperStar 8 "and Celestron RASA systems, with a case diameter of 74mm.
Amplifier annealing is prevented.
ATIK Horizon cameras have built in 256 MB of DDR3 image buffer. This will prevent amplifier glowing and other artifacts that may result from USB2.0 data transfer.
Quartz glass safety glass with full IR passage
The protective glass lets through the IR light. The good sensitivity of the sensor beyond H-alpha also allows the exciting use in infrared photography with suitable optics. The protective glass has been well proven in the Atik cameras and also prevents dewing.
More than "only" Ascom compatible:
Atik provides an ASCOM driver so you can use the camera with your favorite software, such as MaximDL, operate. In addition, the camera is also compatible with the proven Artemis Capture software. This software allows full camera control.

The camera is also compatible with the innovative Infinity Live Stacking Software. This software makes astrophotography easier than ever and fits in well with Atik Horizon cameras.

♦ Photography of nebulae and galaxies: The software automatically computes the images - watch LIVE on screen to see how the deep-sky object becomes more and more contrastive and powerful every minute.
♦ Flexible control over the histogram - with auto stretch features.
♦ Video astronomy possible
♦ Wizard for perfect focus
♦ Photos can be saved as FITs, PNG, JPG or TIFF
