QUALITY software and drivers included: Unlike cheaper cameras, Altair Astro has spent considerable time developing the extensively featured and intuitive AltairCapture software, which can be downloaded from. Consistency and stability is improved for video capture sequences - especially desirable for scientific applications. Memory buffering almost completely eliminates dropped frames and corrupted video files, a common problem with USB cameras, and enables faster more consistent frame rates, even with less powerful notebook computers. Speed and reliability in one camera: USB3.0 and on-board memory buffering give much faster transfer speeds than the GPCAM USB2.0 series, pushing the USB3.0 format to the limit, yet within a stable envelope.

Time-lapse all-sky imaging and video is fully supported, and the camera can be used with a DSLR lens to image large areas of sky (use Altair DSLR lens adapter, product code beginning with "CLA"). High Dynamic Range with 14 bit ADC for high image quality in both light and dark (high contrast) areas.ĭeepsky imaging examples: Hypercam IMX178 delivers good results for for both deepsky imaging and video astronomy (or EAA) using the Live Stacking features in the free AltairCapture software or SharpCap. (Firecapture is also supported - now in Beta release). Saturation (full well) capacity approx. SONY STARVIS and Exmor R Technology with a sensitivity of 2000 mV or more per 1µm² To sum it up, the most desirable features of the Hypercam IMX178 sensor are: For deepsky imaging, you can remove any remaining amp glow in post processing by capturing and subtracking darkframes as usual. Amp glow is electronically suppressed onboard, and for EAA/Video astronomy you can effectively remove any remaining amp glow by using the "Live" darkframe subtraction in AltairCapture or SharpCap. Even the camera casing remains suprisingly cool thanks to the fan ventilation.ĮAA & Video Astronomy: The Hypercam IMX178 sensor is particularily attractive for Electronically Assisted Astronomy / Video Astronomy because of it's high 6.3 Megapixel resolution and high sensitivity thanks to Sony STARVIS back-illumination and Exmor-R technology.ĭeepsky astro-photography: The IMX178 sensor because has very low amp glow, in fact, the lowest of any CMOS sensor in this price range we have developed so far. This reduces the chance of sensor or board glitches caused by excessive heat. Solar imaging is demanding work for any camera. The Hypercam is the best choice for solar imaging, because the internal fan and heatsink keep all the electronics cool. The ROI (Region of Interest) feature can be used for even higher frame rates when imaging the planets, sun or moon at high magnification.

lunar, or planetary imaging (video capture) and is especially useful with refractors of less than 3 metres focal length, where small pixels (only 2.4x2.4um), high frame rates (up to 51fps at full resolution), and low read noise are required to get the most detail in post processing.

Solar system imaging: The Hypercam IMX178 is also capable of solar.
