SV205 is a primary planetary camera, ideal for photographing the Moon, Jupiter, Saturn and binary stars.  It is also suitable for observing some bright deep space objects.            

1/2.8”COMS Sensor

The iteratived SV205 with IMX415 sensor, which is 8.29 Mega Pixels with a resolution 3840x 2160 under ideal conditions. In order to fixing the Pixel Vignetting color issue on the original version SV205 camera, we cut the new one out of some pixels, the parameter will be 7.05MP with 3264x2160, pixel size is adjusted to 1.45µmx1.45µm.

This newly developed IMX415 stacked CMOS image sensor uses Sony's unique high-sensitivity, low-noise technology to reduce the pixel size to 1.45 square microns, approximately 80% smaller than the previous generation IMX274, creating a record-breaking 1/2.8-inch stacked 4K CMOS image sensor and with excellent low-light performance.

Camera Interface

NOTE

1.Computer configuration requirements:

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

2. The SV205 camera is best used with a refractor or reflector telescope.  It is not recommend for taking images through the eyepiece of a telescope. You may also require additional accessories and filters to get the best results. You need to buy an eyepiece projection adapter if would like to use the SV205 camera to capture images through telescope eyepiece. 

3. The SV205 camera is indeed suitable for planetary photography. If you are looking for visual observation, you would typically need a 1.25-inch eyepiece; however, we do not recommend using an eyepiece in front of the SV205 due to connection constraints. If you prefer not to use an eyepiece, you can view images directly through the camera by connecting the SV205 to your computer. Before doing this, please ensure you install software such as SharpCap. Once the software is open, you will be able to see the image on your computer and adjust the telescope's focus system for a clearer view.
