Deep-sky astrophotography
Two-stage TEC, ΔT ≥45 °C helps control thermal noise during long exposures of galaxies, nebulae and star clusters.
Deep-sky cooled
ToupTek ATR533C is a cooled deep-sky camera using the IMX533 sensor, with 9 MP (3008 × 3008), 3.76 µm pixels and 40 fps. Designed for deep-sky astrophotography, one-shot colour deep-sky imaging, high-resolution galaxy and lunar imaging. Available from Precisometer for professional astronomy systems in the Benelux.

Toepassingen & selectie
Two-stage TEC, ΔT ≥45 °C helps control thermal noise during long exposures of galaxies, nebulae and star clusters.
The colour IMX533 sensor captures broadband targets without a separate LRGB filter sequence.
3.76 µm pixels balance image scale and detail for appropriately matched telescope focal lengths.
14-bit acquisition, 87 dB dynamic range and regulated cooling support repeatable quantitative observations.
Choose the ATR533C when your telescope and target benefit from 1-inch square, 11.31 × 11.31 mm sensor coverage, 3.76 µm sampling, two-stage TEC, ΔT ≥45 °C and 380–690 nm response.
