The Levenhuk T130 PLUS digital camera will give you the opportunity to join the world of astrophotography. The camera can be installed on a telescope of any optical design and from any brand. Its 1.3-megapixel resolution is sufficient to take high-quality photos of the Moon and the planets of the Solar System at low and medium magnification.
The camera allows you to set the exposure time manually – when photographing planets, you can avoid overexposing the image. This camera lets you record videos. The three preset modes differ in image resolution and frame rate. Even at minimum settings, the videos are clear and smooth.
The Levenhuk T130 PLUS digital camera is an excellent tool for getting into astrophotography. It is suitable for beginner astronomers and owners of not very expensive telescopes. The camera is designed for mounting in a 1.25" focuser. To connect the camera to a computer and power it during image capture, use a standard USB cable. The kit includes special software for processing the obtained images.
To make sure your new camera works in the best possible way, check that your computer meets the system requirements specified by the manufacturer. Compatible operating systems are Mac OS, Linux, Windows. A USB 2.0 port is required to establish a connection.
