The Story
The TF1603M is designed to bring a new level of performance to astro-imaging. Deep space imaging is no problem for this camera, with its large, ultra-sensitive sensor and 2-stage thermo-electric cooling. With a high well-capacity and low read-noise, the Panasonic 4/3" sensor soaks up light. The active cooling further controls read-noise with the ability to keep the sensor up to 45°C below ambient while capturing long exposures up to one hour.
