ToupTek TS178 mini monochrome astro camera and autoguider
The camera is equipped with a large 1/1.8" sensor. The new SONY STARVIS and Exmor-R technology produces very low-noise images with high sensitivity. Added to this is a very high resolution thanks to particularly small pixels. The result is a very versatile camera that delivers excellent results for a wide range of requirements. Among other things, the camera is well suited for:
Moon and planetary photography, due to the small pixels you only need a moderate or often no Barlow lens at all
Solar photography with a suitable filter - approx. 500 mm focal length, for example from the TLAPO804, show the sun (or moon) completely
EAA (Electronically Assisted Astronomy) of these objects by a suitable frame rate
Autoguiding - a guide star is always found
Deep-sky photography, the high sensitivity of the sensor allows nebulae and galaxies to be photographed with short exposure times
The practical 1.25" body:
The camera is supplied in a compact 1.25" housing. This makes it easy to connect to the telescope. The camera is inserted into the focuser like an eyepiece and focused. You can start astrophotography immediately. In addition, the housing is equipped with a female C-mount thread on the telescope side. This allows you to screw the camera to the telescope or a camera lens.
