SV405CC Cooled Color OSC Camera for Deep Space Astrophotography IMX294

Have 2 of these cameras, first one has been serving me well for almost 2 years and still going, the sensor is very big 23mm in diagonal, compared to the competitors this camera is half in price, works great and has the cooler for alot less noise aswell, shipping was also fast when i chose the expedited shipping

What a great camera. Thank you so much. First photo all good Thx

I've been using this camera for about three months, and I'm still impressed. I had no issues during that time, and the camera's performance amazed me after astromodified DSLR. Cooling works stable and has a 35°C temperature difference at 80% power. Highly recommend this camera as the most affordable cooling camera.

I definitely recommend this camera for people who want to switch from a DSLR to an astronomical camera. At the price I bought it for (around $560 on sale), the value for money is simply amazing. I used to use a modified Canon 1100D. Now, to achieve a comparable effect, I only have to expose for 60% of the time compared to the Canon. Even at the current promotional price of $646 compared to the ASI294MC-P camera ($999), the difference is huge and now I would also decide on the SV405CC. The cooling works well. I am able to go down by 30°C relative to the environment. At 750 mm focal length I also did not notice more blurred stars after turning on the fan. As for the quality of the camera itself: it looks like a solidly made camera. Things to look out for before you decide on this camera: - if you use Astroberry, there is an old driver that does not support HCG mode, so you will either have to change the program for collecting frames or find a way to update the driver to the latest one. I definitely recommend N.I.N.A. - amp glow: unfortunately this camera has it (ASI294MC-P too) but darks take care of the problem, so this is a minor drawback. You should also remember to collect and flat-dark if your flats have a total exposure length exceeding a few seconds. The only drawback I know about comparing to ASI294MC-P is the lack of a hub with two USB outputs. But is this difference worth paying ~350 USD extra? You answer this question yourself. For me, absolutely not.

I would have had this a year in November and not had a problem with it even though it was dropped as my rig permanently lives outside under a cover and and some months ago we had high wind which knocked over the scope and tripod apart from a little dent any broken USB cable the camera still works perfectly and is easy to use but finding any information regarding it in English is very difficult what would definitely buy another one if needed

Just started imaging with this dedicated astro camera hence only the 4 on image quality. I probably need to get more familiar with it and image processing. It cools very well and cooling power remains steady. I have no complaints about this at all and it is more than reasonably priced.

easy to set up and use with nina, great value/budget camera. clone of asi294mc pro. no issues using nina, just follow the instructions in the manual and it takes only a few moments to set up. all of the included accessories are seemingly good quality. great image quality for the price. cooler works perfectly and cools to -10 no problem.

Achetée pour remplacer mon EOS 600D, je suis très satisfait. La prise en main est pas évidente par rapport à un APN, mais une fois qu'on a compris, le résultat est bluffant. Je l'utilise avec sharpcap, aucun souci, les drivers svbony fonctionnent bien, du coup je n'utilise pas ASCOM. Je recommande 🙂

This camera is real good and has nothing to envy compare to cameras from premium brands. Would totally recommend it especially for any amateur astrophotographer that wants to take it to the next step.Real value for money.

Compré esta cámara hace 2 meses y la he estado probando. Es mi primera experiencia con una cámara astrográfica dedicada. Desafortunadamente el clima empeoró y solo pude capturar alguna imágenes con ella. Usé un telescopio newton 8" f3.9 y la sv405cc y el filtro SvBony UHC de 2" para capturar la nebulosa del Aguila, la nebulosa de la laguna, la nebulosa trífida y la nebulosa omega y la galaxia de Andrómeda. Un tiempo aproximado de 50 minutos por cada imagen. Usé la montura motorizada exos2goto sin autoguiado. La cámara la controlé usando SharpCap. Los resultados me sorprendieron bastante porque nunca había podido lograr tantos detalles con mi DSLR. Pueden ver ejemplos de las imágenes logradas aqui youtu.be/qPTmcdIXNTM Definitivamente esta cámara es muy buena y puede ser usada por cualquier persona incluso si no tiene experiencia con cámaras para espacio profundo. El único inconveniente que he tenido es que llega a desconectarse de SharpCap pero si se desconecta el cable USB y conecta nuevamente se soluciona el problema.
