IDS case study: Through stardust with Starvis 2
Low-light industrial camera opens up new dimensions in planetary photography
Our solar system has fascinated mankind for thousands of years. Astronomers all over the world cast their gaze into space. However, it is not only huge space telescopes that provide spectacular images; smaller telescopes equipped with standard industrial cameras also allow amateur astronomers to see far and wide and gain new insights. However, in addition to versatile camera software, the right sensors are crucial for the quality of the images.
Australian amateur astronomer Anthony Wesley has been photographing our neighboring planets for over 20 years. He considers the uEye XCP camera, equipped with Sony Starvis 2 sensors, to be an excellent choice for capturing high-resolution images of Saturn, Jupiter, Mars & Co. "Camera and sensor technology have made an evolutionary step forward, both in terms of NIR sensitivity and lower noise behavior. The technology of the uEye XCP in combination with the Sony Starvis 2 sensors is undoubtedly one of the best currently available," he states.
