TS 533CA fast Color Astro Camera of the latest Generation without Amp Glow

The camera with the powerful Sony IMX533 sensor allows astrophotography on a very high level. This modern sensor can be used for many areas of astrophotography. The 3.76 µm pixels make this camera a high resolution all-rounder with highest sensitivity for short exposure times. The high frame rate of 40 fps at 8 bit resolution also makes the camera suitable for EAA (electronically assisted astronomy) for moon, sun and planets.

Another advantage is the high light sensitivity. The QE of 80 % thanks to the BACK ILLUMINATION technology and the lack of amplifier glow ensure that the camera is not only very well suited for taking pictures of objects in the solar system, but also for photographing small deep-sky objects.

The "single-shot" color camera offers more convenience compared to monochrome cameras. Not everyone wants to use the laborious L-RGB process for beautiful colored nebula images or planetary images. The color cameras offer you the possibility to get beautiful images without changing filters. But in direct comparison to the DSLR camera, the color camera convinces with a disproportionately higher light sensitivity and much more depth. Stars do not burn out as quickly.

Back-illumination technology:

Sony´s back-illuminated CMOS imaging sensor improves sensitivity and noise reduction - key factors in improving image quality - by changing the basic pixel structure from front- to back-illuminated. The advantages of CMOS image sensors, such as low power consumption and high operating speed, have been retained.

The back illumination improves the light acquisition and increases the amount of light at the same time. This makes significantly shorter exposure times possible and leads to an improved quantum efficiency of 80%.

Sony has developed a unique photodiode structure and on-chip lens optimized for backside-exposed structures, this results in higher sensitivity and lower random noise without light by reducing noise, dark current and defective pixels compared to the conventional front-side-illuminated structure.

No amp glow:

Conventional CMOS sensors produce a faint infrared light source during operation, which can often be seen in the corners of uncalibrated images as a telltale sign of "amp glow". Since the TS533CA uses zero amp glow circuitry, you don´t have to worry about amplifier glow even when using high-gain, long-exposure images.

Connection to correctors with M48 thread and 55 mm working distance with filter change

Most coma correctors or field flatteners for refractors have 55 mm working distance and an M48x0.75 thread on the camera side. Here you will find an interesting suggestion for the connection. The camera has a back focus of 17.5 mm from the T2 female thread. The adapters are from the camera to the corrector:

1. TSFSLM48T2 - filter drawer with T2 connection on the camera side and M48 thread on the telescope side.
2. TSVF220 - 20 mm M48 extension.
Total 55.5 mm flange focal distance - the 0.5 mm compensates well for the glass travel of the filter - spot landing!!!
