Cooled cameras

Cooled astronomy cameras for deep-sky imaging: galaxies, nebulae and star clusters. Cooling the sensor well below the air temperature keeps noise low through long exposures, so faint detail shows clearly. We stock Player One and ToupTek models in colour and mono, from small sensors for short refractors up to full frame.

Colour or mono

A colour camera, often called one-shot colour, has a Bayer matrix: a fixed pattern of red, green and blue over the pixels, so every exposure comes out in colour. It’s the easiest way to start. A mono camera has no Bayer matrix, so every pixel collects all the light. You add a filter wheel and image each colour separately. It takes longer, but gives finer detail and is the better choice for narrowband imaging from light-polluted skies. Camera specifications explained covers the Bayer matrix in more detail.

Matching a camera to your telescope

Sensor size decides how much sky you see. A larger sensor needs a telescope, flattener or reducer that keeps stars sharp and evenly lit right to the corners. Pixel size works with your focal length: smaller pixels suit short refractors, and larger pixels suit longer telescopes. Sensor sizes explained and Camera specifications explained go into both.

We’ll help you choose

Tell us your telescope, your mount and what you want to image, and we’ll suggest a camera to suit, with the adapters you’ll need to reach the right back focus. Call 01743 224 180 or send us a question: we answer the same working day. To compare models yourself, use Compare cameras, or Shop by sensor to see every version of a sensor side by side.
