Svbony SV105 Telescope Camera 1.25 Inches, Digital Color Astronomy Camera with USB2.0, Electronic Telescope Eyepiece for Beginners Planetary Lunar

Product Information

The most important specification for a planetary camera is the resolution and frames per second (FPS).

With the finderscope aimed, leave the setup assembled, without touching the focuser nor finder. It should be ready for "first light" with the moon You can also use MetaGuide instead of PHD2. It will ask on startup which camera you would like to use and your camera (SV105 or SV205) should show up. When you are trying to capture an image of the planet, you need to record a video at the highest FPS possible and then process it in the astronomy software to create a nice picture.Screenshot of AstroDMx Capture for Windows streaming uncorrected data of a street light across the valley. For example, the Moon is a very bright object, so you will have to lower exposure time compared to planets. You can always ask on SharpCap forums for help or try to watch some guides on YouTube to learn how to control it. Is the SVBONY SV105 a good guide camera? It should be stated here that one does not normally apply a flat-field correction to one of the flat-field images as we have done here; we have done this to show the dramatic effects of flat-field correction on pixel vignetting. Imagine the effect that such flat-field correction will have on lunar images showing similar pixel vignetting. There are actually two cameras you can select. Open CV webcam (1 or 2 depending on your system). On a Mac this is probably your only choice. On Windows scroll on down to the Windows WDM-style webcam camera and select it. Using sharpcap 3.1 that came with the camera. I have used varying settings trying to get a better image. I am using a diagonal. I tried using it throughout the lunar eclipse both with and without the lunar filter. I would have thought this an idea time to get some kind of images but just shadowy screen was all I could accomplish. Should I be able to see something terrestrial with this thing?

Finaly, connect 1.25" SV105 electronic eyepiece to your telescope, then you could take photos on your computer and save the files. Also you could capture a vivid video. If you need change the specifications to make the images more beautiful as you need, manually adjust Gain, Contrast, Exposure Time, Frame rate and Color Saturation on the right side table. SVBONY SV105 camera uses USB2.0 type, so make sure you have at least USB2.0 available. Of course, it will also work in USB 3.0 and USB 3.1 slots. Necessary software for SVBONY SV105 Camera While testing, I found that the images had reverse vignetting. Reverse vignetting is when the edges of your image have some glow or a slightly different hue from the rest of the photo. Before dishing out for the ERF and Quark and all that; I would suggest you get a white light setup first, it's much cheaper to build, and will give you the same experience in terms of what resolution is possible, what image scale, etc, in your seeing conditions, if you image in red wavelength (610nm Baader for example, or any basic red imaging filter). It will be photosphere, but it will tell you how an HA system of the same aperture and image scale would perform in your seeing conditions. Super handy information to know before dishing out for expensive stuff. This is a screen grab of PHD2 working with the SV105 camera on a Celestron 70mm Travelscope. Obviously Polaris would make a good guide star. In this case I’ve selected HD5914, which at 6.5 magnitude is about as dim a star as PHD2 could probably guide on. While HD1685 (8.12 mag) is visible, it is too dim to guide on.SharpCap is very important because it will allow you to control all the features of the camera. You will have to do some learning here, but it is easy. I'd venture to guess the limiting factor is the fact that the SV105 seems to only output MJPG video (not RAW) which means there's some unavoidable compression happening that may be adding to whatever limitations the OV2710 sensor already has.

If you use a refractor telescope with 1500mm or 1200mm focal length work together with SV105, then you could not see it directly. You need a focal reducer 0.5x （ F9154 ）, then you could see the clear image from SV105. I ended up controlling the camera with SharpCap, it actually worked quite well and I did test a few tools for nailing focus (side-note: I actually make my own Bahtinov Mask for the EdgeHD8 so I actually was 99% in focus according to Sharpcap when I started). Playing with Sharpcap’s Focus Tools SV105 works well with telescope focal lengths in 400mm to 800mm range so using a refractor telescope with this focal length should allow seeing a clear image without any accessories. Unless issues are found during testing, AstroDMx Capture for Windows will be released in the next few days along with major releases for AstroDMx Capture For macOS, Linux, including the Raspberry Pi. After our customers used the Svbony SV105 astronomy camera for some times, all the default data have been changed. So it may lead to this problem when you reconnect the Svbony SV105 camera to your computer again. However, please don’t worry. Just restore the default data, this problem will be fixed. Here are the steps:When you start PHD2 you will see the screen above. Press the USB setup button (arrowed) to get to the equipment setup screen. Another observation when I captured the moon was that it looked way overexposed. Initially, I tried different settings on the software to no avail. The only remedy was to use a moon filter. Also: Try without the diagonal first. Only if you can't reach focus should you try with the diagonal. Any cameras that are detected are displayed in the drop down camera menu. In this case the SV105 presents itself twice. The WinUVC version should be selected. From Steve's lunar and planetary pictures, it seems that (although obvious) the performance of the SV105 is not on par with the real planetary cameras like the IMX224 based ones or even the AR130 based ones. Even the SVBONY T7 W2568A (an ASI120 clone a.k.a. "Datyson T7") provides much, much better images (Steve also tried that one).
