Omegon veTEC CMOS Camera

The veTEC 16000 is specifically optimized for lunar, planetary, and solar imaging. Its 16.3 MP sensor provides the high resolution needed to capture fine details on the moon's surface or planetary features.

The active cooling system lowers the sensor temperature to 40°C below ambient. This significantly reduces thermal noise, which is essential for achieving clean, sharp, and high-contrast images during long exposures.

No, the camera comes equipped with a built-in infrared-blocking filter, which helps produce cleaner images by preventing unwanted infrared light from reaching the sensor. It also includes a protective window to keep dust and contaminants off the sensor itself.

The integrated dual USB ports act as a built-in hub, allowing you to connect other accessories directly to the camera. This design significantly reduces cable clutter, making your telescope setup much tidier and easier to manage.

The back focus distance is 17.5 mm. You will need to account for this measurement when calculating your optical train to ensure you can reach focus with your specific telescope.

This is a color CMOS camera. It uses a color sensor, which is ideal if you want to capture full-color images in a single session without the need for a filter wheel and multiple exposures.
