The ToupTek IMX571M Pro Imaging Kits include the ToupTek IMX571M Mono cooled deep sky camera, ToupTek AFW electronic filter wheel and your choice of Baader LRGB & SHO 3.5/4nm or 6.5nm narrowband filters, or Antlia LRGB & SHO 3nm narrowband filters.
The ToupTek IMX571M Mono is a cooled astronomy camera using the Sony IMX571 APS-C 16-bit back-illuminated CMOS sensor. With a quantum efficiency of >80%, read noise as low as 1.14e- (in HCG mode) and 3.76µm pixels, the IMX571M is a highly capable deep sky camera for a wide range of telescopes.
The ToupTek AFW is a motorized filter wheel for 7 x 36mm filters. The AFW has M54 x 0.75 female threads on either side to minimize vignetting with large sensors. The main body of the filter wheel is CNC machined from a single piece of aircraft aluminium, sandblasted and anodized for a high quality finish. With a thickness of 20mm, the AFW is easy to fit in most common imaging trains.
Baader's CMOS-optimized filters have excellent halo and reflection control, increased contrast and even more narrow passbands than previous generations. These filters set the new standard for monochrome astrophotography with CMOS sensors.
Antlia filters are specially designed for deep space photography with monochrome cameras. The strict manufacturing process and the quality control guarantees a tight tolerance of the filter thickness (± 0.05mm) which makes these filters parfocal.
