TS Optics ToupTek MONO Astro Camera 2600MP Sony IMX571 Sensor D=28.3 mm

TS 2600MP Mono Astro Camera of the latest Generation

The camera with the powerful Sony IMX571 sensor allows astrophotography on a very high level. This cooled CMOS sensor has no amplifier glow anymore and can be used for all areas of astrophotography. Due to the high resolution of the sensor, already fine details are displayed even at shorter focal lengths.
Another advantage is the sensational light sensitivity. The QE of 91% by the BACK ILLUMINATION technology already allow deep astro images with short exposure times. This makes the camera very well suited for deep sky photography.

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 91 %.
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-exposed structure.

No amp glow:

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

Optimal support before and after purchase through Teleskop-Service

Through many years of experience, we can offer you optimal advice and also a very good after-sales service. We can perform almost all services at our premises. For a professional service we have among other things also a clean cabinet, where we can carry out repairs, cleaning etc. under dust exclusion.

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 a 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 path of the filter - spot landing!!!

The manufacturer of the camera is ToupTek

As one of the largest manufacturers of professional cameras for digital photography, ToupTek brings the necessary knowledge for cameras that just work. Teleskop Service receives the cameras directly from the manufacturer, we are in direct contact with ToupTek to provide you with first class service.
