How to Choose the Best Astrophotography Camera
Choosing the best camera for a telescope depends on your goals and budget. As with most astro gear, there is no "one size fits all" camera that is best at everything. If you're hoping to image deep space objects, cooled deep sky cameras are the way to go. If your goal is to image the planets, the moon, the sun, or other objects in the solar system, a high frame rate planetary camera will do wonders for you. Understanding the difference between the different camera types and their individual specifications will help you decide on your next telescope camera.
Cameras for Deep Sky Astrophotography
If your goal is to capture deep space objects like nebulas, galaxies, and star clusters, then you'll want to use a deep sky camera. Objects in deep space are extremely faint, and therefore you need a camera that can shoot long exposures with low noise. Looking for guidance on which deep sky camera to choose and what all the specs mean? Head to our Deep Sky Cameras page to learn more.
Cameras for Solar System Objects
If you want to capture objects like planets, the Moon, or even the Sun, then a planetary camera is best for you. Distinct from deep sky cameras and also much less expensive, planetary cameras are designed to capture solar system objects in detail. Need help picking one out? Head to our Planetary Cameras page to learn more.
Cameras for Autoguiding & more
We also carry a variety of cameras for tasks like autoguiding, which helps keep your mount locked on to a target during long exposures. Other camera types include polar alignment cameras, which aid with aligning your telescope mount for deep sky imaging. Find the right guide camera or polar alignment camera on our Guide Cameras & More page.
