Description

The Kepler KL6060 sCMOS camera represents the fi rst large format scientifi c CMOS camera from Finger Lakes Instrumentation. The KL6060 provides large imaging area, high sensitivity, and low noise. The sensor will also be available with a back-illuminated sensor.

The initial release of the KL6060 will operate in HDR mode. The image is digitized to 12 bits twice with two different gains. Low gain (LG) is set for maximum linear full well (about 35e-/ADU), with noise of 33e- and full well capacity of about 135ke-. High gain (HG) is set for lowest noise (about 2.2 e-/ADU), with noise of 4.6e- and full well capacity of about 8ke-. The merged 16-bit image has 89 dB of dynamic range.

Customer Reviews (4.4 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Mia ★★★★★

The large imaging area on this camera is a game-changer for my wide-field astrophotography setups. I can capture so much more of the night sky in a single frame now, and the sensitivity is still top-notch for those faint nebula details.

Sophia ★★★★★

The sensitivity on this camera is incredible—picked up faint details in my deep-sky images that my old CCD never caught. The cooling system keeps noise impressively low even during long exposures.

Avery M. ★★★★☆

The sensitivity in low light is genuinely impressive, and I'm getting clean frames I couldn't manage with my old camera. My only gripe is the file sizes — the large format sensor means I burned through storage on my first night out. Still, for deep-sky work it's been worth the fuss.
