About this deal

The frame rate when using all its nominal 1920x1080 pixels is apparently 17. That's good enough for almost everything I do and would be enough to keep it interesting for me. Not good enough to do high-quality planetary AP if you want to have the option of doing that at 1920x1080 as well. They talk about 200 FPS but it actually appears to hit 200+ at 320x240 which may or may not be OK depending on the target and focal length. They indicate that at 1920x1080 "low speed" is 5 FPS which I suspect means that if you are using 12-bit data you get only 5 frames per second and if I'm observing the Moon and planets I tend to prefer a bit faster than that.

color issue on the original version SV205C camera, we cut the new one out of some pixels, the parameter will be 7.05MP with 3264x2160, pixel size is adjusted The SVBONY SV305 is a new, low cost camera for Lunar, Planetary and brighter deep sky objects imaging. If you have (or know someone with) a 3D printer, you may be able to design and print an adapter. Small pitch threads are going to be tough for most printers, but the C thread is possible (I've done it before) and it may be enough to have a correctly sized non-threaded adapter that pushes snugly into the front 28.5mm aperture... when finished the program, please remove the SV205 from the Windows computer, and then connect it to a Linux computer, it will work normally with the USB3.0 port. (and then connect it to a Mac computer, it will work with your Mac computer. )

Sharpcap runs on Microsoft Windows – you should choose the version of SharpCap to install based on your version of Windows. Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 7 (with SP1) Q15:Is SV205 camera suitable for deep space photography? A15:The SV205 camera has only one second exposure time, which is not suitable for deep space photography. The SV305 is a good camera and I have found no issues with it. Nicola and I intend to implement this camera in our AstroDMx Capture software for Linux and macOS. The testing I have done with it can be found HERE

Hopefully, you will be able to focus correctly but still have the ability to move the focuser either way. If your focuser is fully extended and you need to pull the camera out of the diagonal little then that means an extender could be required - this is typical when you don't use a diagonal with the camera. First: The SV305 is NOT related to the SV105 or SV205 cameras, both of which have pixel vignetting and are just basically webcams, although the SV205 was a flawed concept from the outset. The SV305 is a totally new camera built to be a low cost imager. The configuration of desktop computer is not less than Intel 4 generation i5, and the memory is not less than 4G.Here's an OpenSCAD file that defines a T2 to CS adapter for 3D printing that works well enough to be usable. Note that the bulk of it is a thread generating library that I found online - the first section actually defines the adapter based on the 32tpi CS thread and the 0.75mm pitch T thread. The scalings of 1.02 and 0.9891 were determined by trial and error (print, test, adjust, repeat) until the thread size worked. And if you buy the SV205 camera in and after August 2019, then you don't need to upgrade it too. because wehave already update the SV205 firmware in the factory. Now that your camera and mount are setup press the button (arrowed) to start the camera. You should see some stars if they are bright enough for your camera/guide scope configuration. From this point onward you will need to consult the PHD2 instructions as to setting up guiding. The camera comes with built-in UV IR cut filter. And it is screw on inside the camera nose. which reach a high transmittance of more than 96% in the visible light

Q9: what if the frame rate is slow when the camera is connected to the computer? A9: since the frame rate is low in YUY2 mode (original image mode), try to select MJPG format (compressed format) in the software. Q10: What is the equivalent focal length of an eyepiece for the sv105/205/305 camera? A10: All astronomical cameras are light-sensitive chips, which only play the role of imaging and shooting. They are not comparable with eyepieces. The ideal camera is a Nikon D5300, but it's pricier (with good reason). It is very good for deep sky astrophotography because of low noise and the ability to shoot at low ISO (200 or 400) which yields most detail. of the camera if you want to image infrared or ultraviolet bands, connect it with a 1.25-inch extension tube, and connect IR685, IR850 or UV-Venus filter to achieve

can’t see image? Because I didn’t connect an astronomy telescope with the SV205. I only connect the SV205 to the computer. Only the SV205 camera connecting to the computer, it means only have the CMOS senser, you definitely could not see a image. Can you take picture by a Canon camera without lens? Of course, NO. For planetary, the ASI224MC would be my choice (although inferior to DSLR's as "general purpose") because, similar to another responder, I trust ZWO much more than SVBony. Can you send photos of your available connections, into mount, controller, computer etc, and we'll try to explain better - I'm a newbie to this too, so facing the steep learning curve, but want to help with my findings as I learn! If you're successfully driving the mount 'GOTO' with Stellarium, I guess just opening PHD2 and using the 'connect equipment' should just use the same 'goto' cable to control the mount, see: The more current way to do guiding (sans ST4 cable) is to talk to the mount through INDI or ASCOM drivers (Linux or Windoze). If, for example you choose to use Ekos (KStars) internal guider, you would have an indi mount driver and an indi camera driver. Both the mount and camera would be connected to the computer running the indiserver service. The guide camera will be connected to a computer via USB (either a laptop or an on-scope IOT type computer). The mount would be connected via either USB or WiFi to the indiserver computer. Ekos, then, looks at the images it receives from the indiserver process via the camera driver and makes a determination of what to send via pulses to the mount driver through indiserver. Ekos also does plate-solving.
