Applications & selection
ATR432M applications
Narrowband nebula imaging
The monochrome IMX432 sensor is suited to H-alpha, O III and S II filter workflows.
High-resolution galaxy and lunar imaging
9 µm pixels balance image scale and detail for appropriately matched telescope focal lengths.
Photometry and time-series imaging
12-bit acquisition, 74 dB dynamic range and regulated cooling support repeatable quantitative observations.
When to choose this camera
Choose the ATR432M when your telescope and target benefit from 1.1-inch, 14.4 × 9.9 mm sensor coverage, 9 µm sampling, two-stage TEC, ΔT ≥44 °C and 380–1100 nm response.
