F9198B&C(SV305-Pro)_02.jpg

SV305 Pro camera is a sensitive and high-speed color astronomy camera for planetary imaging, lunar and solar imaging (with a safe solar filter), and some bright deep space objects imaging. This camera is also great for ‘lucky imaging’ of planets, double stars, and other compact objects, especially for telescopes with longer focal lengths.

128MB DDR Buffer

The benefit of the built-in 128MB DDRII 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.
Back-illuminated (BSI) CMOS Sensor

The SV305 Pro uses an extremely sensitive CMOS sensor, the Sony IMX290. This sensor has very high QE, and very low (0.7e-) read noise, which improves sensitivity in the visible-light and near infrared light regions for industrial applications.
ST4 Guiding

The camera designed with ST4 guiding port, supports the PHD2 software, and works with ASCOM plate form. You can use the computer to control it, and telescope mounts have an autoguiding port that connects directly to the autoguider (usually referred to as an ST-4 port, which works with analog signals).
Any Area ROI Support

The SV305 Pro 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.
USB3.0 High Speed Transmission

USB3.0 high speed data transmission is quick and efficient for planetary, lunar and solar imaging.
ADC 12bit

The SV305 Pro camera offers 8 bit RAW output or 12 bit.

Special Heat Dissipation Structure

The unique heat dissipation design makes the product run more stably. Long-term exposure during use reduces the noise to a certain extent and makes the image quality better.

SV165 Mini Guide Scope Support sensitive auto guiding cameras for easy guide star acquisition
Getting this guide scope makes sense for most astrophotographers out there.
If you're just starting out, SV165 Mini Guide Scope is easy-to-use and performs well.
If you're at the other extreme, using SV165 Mini Guide Scope on your smaller imaging rigs is more practical than trying to mount a larger, more exotic guide scope.
If portability is important to you, SV165 Mini Guide Scope's compact size and relatively low weight will cooperate with your requirements.
Note:Back focus distance can stretch up to 45mm. Please pay attention to stretch to the end.

Features:

SVBONY Compact Ultra-Mini Guide Scope for Auto Guiding Cameras
Compact 4.4"mini guide scope with 30mm f/4 aperture optics
Support sensitive auto guiding cameras for easy guide star acquisition
Features precise helical focus adjustment with thumbscrew lock Ring
Designed for use with the Orion ZWO QYH and so on auto guiding cameras (1.25in or M42 mount interface)

Focal Length: 120mm

The objective lens diameter is 30mm. The focal length of the scope is 120mm. F4 aperture optics provides a wide field of view which will help to quickly find the target when performing astronomical observations.;
1.25-inch & M42*0.75

The 1.25-inch interface and M42*0.75 male threads allow to connect with SVbony SV305, ZWO, Orion, QYH and other auto guiding cameras.;
Fully Broadband Multi-Coated

Fully broadband multi-coated optics means the types of coating on all optical surfaces throughout the entire scope. And fully broadband multi-coated optics decreases surface reflectivity therefore allows greater optical through-put across the entire visible light spectrum, increases the light transmission and delivers bright, clear and high-contrast images.
Helical Focus Stroke: 45mm

The 45mm focusing stroke ensures enough focusing range for observing and focus lock ensures a stable focusing. The built-in helical focuser is better for precise focusing of potential guide stars.
Ultra-mini Optics
The guide scope is ultra mini and light, and won’t weight your telescope and mount much.;
High-quality Craftsmanship

High-level CNC machined & Sandblasting Oxidation

NOTE:

Computer configuration requirements:

1)The configuration of desktop computer is not less than Intel 4 generation i5, and the memory is not less than 4G.
2)Laptop configuration is not less than Intel 6 generation i5, memory is not less than 8g.

2. This SV305 Pro camera is best used with a refractor or reflector telescope mounted on an equatorial mount that can accurately track the motion of the sky. It is not intended for taking images through the eyepiece of a telescope. You may also require additional accessories and filters to get the best results. If you want to use the SV305 pro camera capture images through telescope eyepiece. you need buy an eyepiece projection adapter.

All software and drivers for this camera are available from the manufacturer’s website.

Some questions you may care about:

The difference between F9198Band F9198C:The window glass is changed from the original IR650 to AR anti-reflection coated glass, which can be used with IR CUT filters to capture visible light, and with IR685, IR850 and other filters for infrared light shooting.

How is SV305 Pro camera?

Here are the testing results from Dr. Steve Wainwright. ( He has been an astronomer since 1967. He taught astronomy at the University of Swansea in D.A.C.E. evening classes for several years, but now, largely retired. For several years he has been working with his partner Nicola on AstroDMx Capture. They do great help for Svbony cameras working with Linux system. Many thanks for Steve and Nicola.)

Tips with SVbony

Q:What are the outstanding features of the upgraded sv48p?

Toothed focusing knob

Dual speed still, but this time you will find the toothed knob on the scope just you did on our star product SV503. The touch matters in our opinion. These pairs of toothed focusing knobs would make you feel more pleased when you view the night sky with naked eyes. The targets have been located but somehow we just couldn’t make it clear, that might be the last thing we wish to happen in this hobby. So we keep the dual-speed focusing system which makes the whole process easier and smoother and we truly believe that you would love it.

Comfortable damping

We want to achieve a good balance between damping and smoothness with this tiny brass focus plate. So now, a 13mm brass plate under the focusing tube, provides comfortable damping to secure the process of focusing stable and accurate, which means deviation or shaking of the focusing tube, or the inconsistency of the hand feel during the whole operation of the focusing will not be the pain again.

360 rotatable R&P focuser

A rotatable focuser would greatly help you get just the right position for your camera or diagonal without touching multiple screws which could be pretty annoying to the final image. Just loosen the knob on the tube a little bit then you could just rotate the whole focuser, simple and clean.

Mounting rings with a 130mm dovetail plate

A longer dovetail plate than the original SV48 which has a 100mm dovetail plate gives you more space for the mounting, with the fine-made mounting rings together making sure your telescope is steady.

Q：Hello, does this only bring the telescope or does it have other accessories? Can I use it directly after buying it? Do I need to buy other accessories?

A:Package includes SV48P 90500 Astronomical Telescope OTA,2" -1.25" Adapter,Finder Scope Bracket,Lens Cover,1.25" Dust Cover,130mm Dovetail Mounting Plate with Tube Ring

No included diagonal, eyepieces and a tripod etc.

Q：The description has two different weights how much does it actually weigh？

A：7.73 pounds

Q：What type of glass is used in the objective?

A：Fully multil green coated lens; fitted with achromatic glass for good edge-to-edge viewing; fully multi green coated lens maximize light transmission eliminating false color.

Q：are the rings felt lined?

A：Sorry it doesn't, the bracket is fixed on the lens barrel with screws and is detachable.

Q：Is the metal loop telescope holder removable, if is is, how do you remove it?

A：Yes, you can remove it by turning the screws on the bottom of the stand.

Q：How to get started with Astrophotography?

A: Firstly, you need choose a telescope.For beginner astronomers, a refractor is the better beginner telescope for astrophotography.
Designed for Camera photography
Loosen the screw that fixes the focuser on the telescope, the focuser can rotate 360 degrees.When you use the camera, you don't need to unscrew the camera to adjust the angle.You only need to loosen the screws, adjust the camera angle, and then tighten the screws.
