    Atik 490EX Monochrome CCD Camera

    The Atik 490EX has the highest resolution of any Atik camera to date, and one of the most flexible. Featuring the latest generation Sony EXview HAD CCD II™ technology in an area over twice as large than before, this camera has an outstanding Quantum Efficiency, very low noise and excellent thermal management. This model is an ideal match not only for Hyperstar systems, but also most small to midsize telescopes used by astrophotographers. It’s excellent sensitivity and the possibility of binning while maintaining high pixel counts, makes it one of the best cameras for deep-sky astrophotography, with unrivaled flexibility.

    The Atik 490EX fully supports 1.25" filters down to f/2, so you won't need to replace any of your current investment in wheel or filters. This is an added advantage when looking to invest in a CCD camera that may go through multiple telescopes.

    Atik 4-Series cameras are a development of the renowned 3-Series cameras, featuring better cooling and narrower body. They benefit from set-point cooling to make taking matching dark frames a snap, and simple 12V power requirement to facilitate field operation. The impressive sensitivity, great cooling and narrow profile, make the Atik 4 Series outstanding CCD cameras to use on modern telescopes, including Hyperstar/Fastar systems.

    Atik's highly-acclaimed Capture software is included for camera control and data acquisition, and plug-ins are included to allow use with Astroart and Maxim DL.
