Explore Poseidon-C Pro
A cooled, color APS-C camera built for deep-sky imaging with a 26 megapixel Sony IMX571 sensor. The Poseidon-C Pro combines small 3.76 μm pixels and a native 16-bit ADC to capture fine detail and wide tonal range while cooled operation reduces thermal noise for longer exposures.
Sensor: IMX571 color
Format: 23.5 x 15.7 mm (APS-C )
Max Resolution: 6252 x 4176 (26 MP)
Pixel Size: 3.76 μm
The camera uses a Sony IMX571 back-illuminated APS-C sensor with 6252 x 4176 pixels (≈26 MP) and 3.76 μm pixel size. The sensor size and pixel density give a 28.3 mm diagonal that balances field of view and resolution for deep-sky targets.
A two-stage TEC cooling system can reach about 40°C below ambient (delta-T 40°C ±2°C). Deep cooling lowers thermal noise and dark current, improving long exposure performance for faint nebulosity and extended integration runs.
The rear four-point sensor tilt adjustment lets you correct tilt at each corner to reduce field curvature. A high-density sponge shading pad is included to block side-light leakage, useful when optimizing flatness across large-format optics.
A native 16-bit ADC delivers 65,536 discrete levels for smoother tonal transitions. STARVIS back-illuminated architecture yields high quantum efficiency around 80%. Readout noise is specified in the low-electron range, supporting high dynamic-range captures.
