So far, I have only seen the Hypercam 183C in use by the talented Gary Palmer on his Facebook Page. If you follow Altair Astro on Facebook, you’ve probably noticed that their team is continuously adding new products and providing new astrophotography solutions for backyard imagers. And that’s where this new color camera from Altair Astro comes in. The seemingly endless sea of astronomy cameras available now are worth investigating if you are looking to upgrade or shift towards CCD imaging. The abilities of a cooled CCD style camera can completely change the way you approach a night of astrophotography. The precision control of the CMOS sensor is designed for capturing starlight.Īfter my experience using the ZWO ASI071 one shot color camera, my eyes have been opened to a new world of astrophotography cameras. However, dedicated astronomy cameras such as the Hypercam make the deep sky imaging experience even easier. The variations of lenses and types of imaging possible mean that I will always shoot with a DSLR, in some way or another. Using a DSLR for astrophotography has its shortcomings, but they are more than capable of producing stunning deep sky photos. It was easy enough to start taking photos of the night sky using a DSLR once I had the basics down. Like many of you, I started my astrophotography journey using a DSLR camera. Update: Read my Full Review with Sample Images The Iris Nebula captured with the Altair Hypercam 183C An Affordable DSLR Alternative This Color CMOS CCD Camera will be attached to my Explore Scientific ED102 Telescope for the next month or so. Thanks to my friends at Ontario Telescope & Accessories, I have been given the opportunity to take some deep sky images using the Hypercam 183C. This is an affordable Color CMOS digital camera with impressive astrophotography features. At under $1000 (CDN), this astronomy camera is a solid contender for those looking for an upgrade to their stock DSLR. I should be receiving the Hypercam as early as next week, and I will be providing a video review of its deep sky imaging capabilities. This is a CMOS color deep sky imaging camera and boasts some impressive astrophotography features out of the box. I am extremely excited to review a new astronomy camera from Altair Astro, the Hypercam 183C.
