SVBONY SV205 Astronomical Camera 1.25” 7.05MP CMOS Color eyepiece USB3.0:
$99.99

The SV205 CMOS color camera is a popular choice for beginners due to its affordable price tag and solar system photography capabilities. This camera uses a 8M Pixel SONY IMX179 imaging sensor with 1.4µmx1.4µm pixel size.This type of camera sensor is ideal for capturing images of planets like Saturn,Jupiter and Mars because the images are highly magnified. You can either take single exposures during times of good seeing. Or record video footage (AVI or YUV uncompressed format) and stack the best frames in Registax.The reason for this method is to compensate for varying levels of transparency in the Earth’s atmosphere. Some of the best planetary images in the world were taken using these inexpensive “webcam” style cameras.

Simply point your telescope at the Moon or a planet and record a quick video. The included software analyzes each frame of video, throws away the fuzzy ones, and perfectly aligns the remaining images. The result is a bright, clear image with the maximum amount of color and detail. SV205 is a great way to get started with astroimaging, especially if you live in a light-polluted area. If you can see the planet the sky, you can image it with SV205!
General Clean

Svbony SV205 camera comes with an IR-Cut protection window, which could protect the sensor from dust and humidity. And the inside of the image sensor is dry and sealed. If you should clean the sensor, it is best to do it during the daytime. To see the dust, please connect the camera to your telescope. Point the telescope to a bright place, a Barlow lens is required to see the dusts clear. Then attach the camera and adjust the exposure to make sure not over exposed.

SVBONY SV205 camera is the second version astronomy camera. It could view and capture live video of the Sun, Moon, and planets on your computer. Also use Sharpcap software same as SV105 camera. 8M Pixel image magnification is much better when you capture the moon on your computer. And this new SV205 could be used in the day time. It could capture the clear image of your view target by the software. What’s more, you need manual set the settings to get a much clear image.
Amazing, Daytime Using Svbony SV205!
We tested the Svbony SV205 camera with SharpCap, a popular feature-rich program specifically designed for a selection of common astronomy-related digital video cameras, including the SV105 and other brand cameras.

SharpCap is a product designed by astronomers for astronomers, and it is being continually improved and enriched. Online tutorials are available to help you get up to speed with the program if you are unfamiliar with it.

In all of our tests, the camera gave no issues when driven with the latest version SharpCap running on Windows 10 computer.


When enter the sharpcap software, all camera settings are automatically. You may see the picture is out of color balance. Also maybe the picture is a little blurry. You need choose a resolution, 8MP 3264×2448 is most clear, then choose the YUYV video format. This is the best image resolution.

Then adjust the camera settings to achieve a better colorful image. Rudi said it is better to set the white balance auto, also I will tell you that please set lower exposure time, and then adjust the Gain. Finally choose a best point to capture the image.

The USB 3.0 transport is much faster than the USB 2.0, Please notice the USB 3.0 port on your computer is blue jack. USB 3.0 backward compatible with USB 2.0, then the transport speed will same as USB 2.0.

Note:

Can SV205 camera work with smartphone?
First, you can download "USB Camera" from my smartphone [APP Store] and install it. This is a particularly good application because it presents the main control of the camera so that the correct exposure, etc. is set. It works with UVC webcams. Check the icon with the USB camera.
The SV205 camera was placed at the telescope focus of a refractor and was connected to the smartphone. Also need a USB 3.0 to type C connector. Then the SV105 camera could connect to smartphone now.
A drop-down menu allows the selection of the camera controls which can be hidden. People could set all the settings they want. USB Camera can capture mp4 movies/videos or still images.
