Player One NEPTUNE-C (SKU: POA-NEPTUNE-C ) is the first generation of the Neptune series color planetary camera. The Sony IMX178 COLOR sensor (1/1.8″ format, 3096 × 2080 px) combines high STARVIS sensitivity, very low readout noise and 6.4 MP resolution with a small 2.4 µm pixel - ideal for lucky imaging of the Moon, Sun (with filtration) and planets at short focal lengths. The USB-C 3.0 interface and 256 MB DDR-III buffer guarantee smooth recording up to 60 fps in full RAW10 resolution without dropping frames.

NEPTUNE-C Key Features

Neptune-C is a great solution for lovers of fast color astrophotography. High sensitivity, lack of amp-glow artifacts and high frame rate make it an ideal tool for recording dynamic phenomena in planetary atmospheres, fine lunar structures and photosphere granulation - especially in combination with IR-pass 685/850 nm and Photosphere 10 nm filters.
