The SV305 Pro from SVBONY is an advanced color astronomy camera, specially designed for planetary, lunar imaging, and some bright deep-space objects. Equipped with an extremely sensitive Sony IMX290 CMOS sensor, this camera delivers exceptional performance for astrophotography enthusiasts.

Main Features:

ST4 Guiding:

• Equipped with an ST4 guiding port, the SV305 Pro is compatible with the PHD2 guiding software and the ASCOM platform, providing precise guiding for astrophotography.

IMX290 CMOS Sensor:

• Uses a back-illuminated Sony IMX290 CMOS sensor with a high QE of 80% and a very low read noise of 0.75e, allowing for clear and detailed images.

High Speed and Long Exposure:

• Captures up to 120 frames per second at a resolution of 1920 x 1080.
• Allows long exposures of up to 30 minutes, ideal for imaging some bright deep-space objects.

Built-in 128 MB Image Buffer and USB3.0 Interface:

• The 128 MB DDRII image buffer ensures stable and fast image transmission, with no frame loss.

ROI Function:

• The ROI (Region of Interest) function allows capturing specific details with a higher frame rate, optimizing planetary and lunar imaging.
