The Imaging Source IS-618MU USB CCD Camera is a Color CCD camera with a USB 2.0 connection and 60 frames per second capability.Produces true-to-life images of the night sky

At the "input" of a camera, we have a CCD chip. It transforms photons into electrons. The spectral sensitivity of this transformation is an important characteristic of the "camera input". At the camera's output, we except an image data stream with a color format, such as "Y800" for monochrome cameras, or "UYVY" for color cameras.

The Imaging Source uses three Sony CCD chips for its color FireWire cameras. The spectral diagrams have been taken from the manufacturer's data sheet. Please note that the manufacturer does not specify deviations to the specified values.

The CCD camera DMK 41AF02.AS outputs its image data in an uncompressed data stream. IR cut filters, color filters and electronic filters are not deployed in the camera. Thus, the camera produces very true-to-life captures of the night sky. Due to its high resolution, uncompressed output and fast refresh rate, the telescope camera DMK 41AF02.AS produces large amounts of data. In order to transfer these to the host PC, a very fast bus is required. Hence, the camera is fitted with a FireWire connector.
