Altair Hypercam 269C Colour Camera - TEC Cooled

I have had this camera since December 2021. 

 The Hypercam 269C Colour camera has a Thermoelectric Cooling System (TEC) for extremely low noise imaging.

The 21mp Sony IMX269 is a 12bit colour 4/3rds sensor with 3.30 m Pixels - a better replacement for the now discontinued colour Panasonic MN34230 Series for long exposure astrophotography, for those wanting similar image scale and pixel size.

 A sealed chamber, and desiccant system with heated optical window make the camera ideal for harsh environments. Due to it's low read noise, the Hypercam 269C PRO TEC camera is suitable for both deepsky and solar system imaging with ROI, as well as "frame stacking and averaging" in other applications. The TEC system can be switched off for fast exposure video imaging. 

I have had this Guide camera since September 2020. 

The GP-CAM is an all-in-one General Purpose astronomy and guide camera with a 1.2mpx MONO AR0130 CMOS sensor.

The GPCAM is great for auto-guiding, giving you more stars and shorter exposures.

About the size of a small eyepiece, and weighing about 70 grams, the GPCAM is small in size but not in features:

I have had this camera since 2010.

In 2020 my wife took the camera apart to remove the IR Cut Filter to allow the camera to pick the hydrogen-alpha transmission line (656nm) that would normally be filtered out but is present in  some emission nebulae like the California Nebula.

I have had this Camera since July 2020

I bought this camera as due to removing the IR Cut Filter from my 450D i was no longer able to use this camera for normal day time photography. This is a great DSLR for Astrophotography I have used this camera for taking photos of Galaxy's and the Moon.
