SVBONY SV305 Pro Telescope Camera, 2MP USB3.0 Astronomy Camera, 1.25inch Astronomy Guiding Camera, Telescope Eyepieces for Astrophotography
ST4 GuidingSV305 Pro camera is designed with ST4 guiding port supporting the PHD2 software and works with ASCOM plate form. 1ms to 30min long exposure long exposure can reach 30 minutesyou can use it for planetary imaging lunar imaging and some bright deep space objects imaging. Back-illuminated CMOS Sensorthe SV305 Pro uses an extremely sensitive IMX290 CMOS sensor this sensor has very high QE and very low 0.7e- read noise which improved sensitivity in the visible-light and near infrared light regions for industrial applications. 128MB DDR Bufferthis buffer also allows a slower computer with USB 3.0 socket to capture every frame without loss even if the USB socket is occasionally busy with other peripherals this buffer also makes it possible to run multiple cameras using one computer without USB transfer problems. Any Area ROI Support a smaller region of interest ROI is read out from the sensor leaving the image scale of the object being imaged unchanged allow arbitrary resolutions to be set.
ZWO ASI183MC Pro 20.18 MP CMOS Color Astronomy Camera with USB 3.0 # ASI183MC-P

Advanced CMOS sensor with 5496x3672 20.1 megapixel resolution and 2.4-micron pixel size to capture fine detail in astronomical objects High quantum efficiency to help reduce exposure time Integrated TEC cooling reduces sensor temperature to 40C-45C below ambient to enable low-noise imaging of fainter deep-sky objects. Fast USB3.0 transfer at up to 19 frames per second at maximum resolution 256MB DDR3 buffer for quick and stable data transfer and reduced amp glow includes separate USB2.0 hub for powering accessories such as autoguiding camera and electronic focuser not included. Compact, lightweight, and attractive red anodized CNC aluminum body stands up to heavy field use Connects to 1.25 and 2 telescope focusers with included T-threaded 1.25 nosepiece and 2 adapter. Camera electronics draw power from your computers USB3.0 interface, however a separate 12V3A power supply not included is required to power the TEC cooler All software and drivers are available from the manufacturers website compatible with Mac OS X and Windows 32-bit and 64-bit XP and later.
SVBONY SV305 Telescope Camera, 2MP Astronomy Camera, 1.25 inch Planetary Camera for Photography, Suitable for Beginners in Astrophotography
BSI CMOS sensor SV305 telescope camera uses an extremely sensitive back-illuminated CMOS sensor IMX290 sensor has very high QE and very low 0.7e- read noise which improved sensitivity in the visible-light and near infrared light regions for industrial applications. 128MB DDR buffer the benefit of the image buffer is that the memory will cache the image and transfer it to the computer when the USB interface is not busy or being interrupted and the frame will not be lost or corrupted. Any area ROI support the SV305 astronomy camera has ROI function a smaller region of interest ROI is read out from the sensor leaving the image scale of the object being imaged unchanged allow arbitrary resolutions to be set. SV305 planetary camera compatible with Windows system Linux system Mac OS system and Raspberry Pi system Windows driver 1.3.7 version support ASCOM driver PHD2 guiding software not support Phone system. Long exposure can reach 30 minutes high-speed medium-speed low-speed three output frame speeds are optional matching different computer hardware to achieve a more suitable reception speed of the hardware meet the basic needs of astronomy enthusiasts for planetary photography.
