Amazing Daytime Using Svbony SV205

We tested the Svbony SV205 camera with SharpCap, a popular feature-rich program specifically designed for a selection of common astronomy-related digital video cameras, including the SV105 and other brand cameras.

SharpCap is a product designed by astronomers for astronomers, and it is being continually improved and enriched. Online tutorials are available to help you get up to speed with the program if you are unfamiliar with it.

In all of our tests, the camera gave no issues when driven with the latest version SharpCap running on Windows 10 computer.

When enter the sharpcap software, all camera settings are automatically. You may see the picture is out of color balance. Also maybe the picture is a little blurry. You need choose a resolution, 8MP 3264×2448 is most clear, then choose the YUYV video format. This is the best image resolution.

Then adjust the camera settings to achieve a better colorful image. Rudi said it is better to set the white balance auto, also I will tell you that please set lower exposure time, and then adjust the Gain. Finally choose a best point to capture the image.

The USB 3.0 transport is much faster than the USB 2.0, Please notice the USB 3.0 port on your computer is blue jack.  USB 3.0 backward compatible with USB 2.0, then the transport speed will same as USB 2.0.

If tested in the night, I will update more images and data. And welcome all comments about SV205 camera. All your ideas about it are important for us. Contact us at: info@svbony.com.
