TOUPTEK ATR 533M PRO COOLED CAMERA [MONO]

The ToupTek ATR533M PRO Mono is a cooled astronomy camera using the Sony IMX533 back-illuminated CMOS sensor. With a quantum efficiency of >90%, read noise as low as 1.11e- and 3.76µm pixels, the ATR533M is an excellent entry-level deep sky camera for a wide range of telescopes.

The camera features relatively large 3.76µm pixels and a resolution of 9MP. The large full-well capacity of 52ke- means you can capture faint targets without overexposing stars. The ATR533M is equipped with 5Gbps USB 3.0 connectivity and 512MB of DDR3 memory resulting in fast transfer speeds and reliability.

In the above graphs across the bottom row there are two sets of values: the top set is the gain value the user can set in software. This is linear, meaning the brightness at gain 200 is twice that of gain 100. The second line denotes the sensor gain in dB according to the bottom formula.

The ToupTek ATR533M has zero amp glow, even at high gain and over long exposure times. The below image shows two 5-minute exposures at 20°C with different cameras. The ToupTek image on the right shows no visible amp-glow. Combined with its low dark current and powerful TEC cooling to -45°C below ambient, the camera is capable of teasing out fine details of faint nebulae.

The ATR533M features a built-in dew heater around the protective window with 4 levels of adjustable heating power. The camera includes an integrated two port USB 2.0 hub, allowing you to connect guide cameras, electronic focusers, filter wheels and other accessories.

Available in anodized Black.
