The camera houses a very low noise Sony Exmor IMX428 CMOS 7.1MP colour sensor with a resolution of 3,200 x 2,200 pixels and a size of 14.4mm x 9.9mm. This type of sensor is very sensitive to faint targets and allows you to capture deep-sky objects in a shorter amount of time. The pixel size of 4.5µm x 4.5µm makes the camera more suitable for telescopes with a short to medium focal length. Having a full range of ‘region of interest’ features, with a respectable frame rate in these modes, makes the sensor suitable for lunar and planetary imaging too.

For easy control when deep-sky imaging it’s equipped with a global shutter, with 1 x 1 and 2 x 2 bin modes. Having a relatively large field of view makes the framing of objects easy and this is also helpful for fitting in bigger deep-sky targets with larger aperture telescopes. Overall, the speed that you can capture objects is what makes this sensor a pleasure to use.
