1.3.1. Sensor chamber protection window: A thin window protects your sensor from dirt and dust. The window is coated in anti-reflective layers to prevent internal reflections and flares. In Omegon veTEC cameras, the protection window is crucial for the sensor's cooling function: Any moisture from the environment would freeze over the cold sensor, if it wouldn’t be protected by the window. -

400 nm to 700 nm, so the important H-alpha wavelength at 656 nm can pass. Mono Cameras - no filter: In Omegon Pro mono cameras, the ultraviolet, visible and infrared light is transmitted. This makes the mono cameras sensitive to a wide range of wavelengths. If you are only interested in a specific range of wavelengths, you need to obtain a suitable filter. -

2.2. Connecting to PHD2 for autoguiding (optional) The Omegon Pro GUIDE and veLOX cameras are equipped with an ST4 Port and are ideal to use as an autoguider. For autoguiding, we recommend the free and open source application PHD2 (Open PHD Guiding). - Page 7 4. When choosing the connection to your mount, select On-camera to use the ST4 autoguiding port. Note: If you have a direct connection from your mount to your PC (for example via RS232 or USB cable), we recommend installing your mount specific ASCOM drivers and selecting those, instead of the On-camera option.
- Page 8 2.4. Taking long exposures – Deep Sky Photography Astrophotography of faint deep sky objects like nebulae or galaxies requires long exposures. Usually, those exposures are then being stacked into one final image with lower noise. The biggest obstacle for this kind of photography is your telescope mount: Unsteady tracking or poor alignment will limit your exposure time and stars will appear as streaks instead of points.
