Product information "BRESSER Handbox for Photo Mount"
Handbox for 4964111 Photo Mount
Category: Spare Part for Telescope Mounts & Controls
Description: The BRESSER Handbox for Photo Mount is a spare part perfectly fitting BRESSER Photo Mount Art. 4964110/4964111. Please check compatibility using the product number on your optical instrument.
Do you already own a photo camera and would like to create impressive pictures of the night sky with the help of the long exposure or even make time-lapse pictures with little effort ? The BRESSER photo mount is the ideal base. Not only for beginners in astrophotography, this mount is particularly well suited, but also the experts swear by a compact and easy-to-use mount to automatically compensate for the natural rotation of the earth. The built-in tracking motor rotates the saddle-mounted camera precisely against the earth's rotation and thus the stars remain punctiform even with long exposures. If you already own a sturdy photo tripod with a video tilt head you can use the photo mount's head directly with the 1/4 inch & 3/8 inch photo thread holes. The pole height (latitude) is then adjusted by the video tilt head. The photo-mount with tripod and polar wedge are also available as a bundle - Product No.: 4964110Which cameras are basically suitable for use with the BRESSER photo mount ? All cameras with ¼ inch (6.3mm) tripod connection thread and bulb length" B "for long exposure are suitable. The BRESSER photo mount is designed for a camera with lens of max. 2.5 kg total weight to carry and track. Large aperture, wide-angle lenses are ideal for the beginning, because the requirements for tracking accuracy accumulate with increasing focal length and exposure time. Thus, a shot with wide-angle lens can be exposed for up to several minutes and the stars remain punctiform without problems. For example, with a 200mm telephoto lens the polar alignment of the photo mount must be exactly right. But thanks to the optical pole finder, this is done quickly. After setting up the light and compact photo mount, simply set the approximate latitude (pole height) to the scale and aim Polaris through the illuminated pole finder scope. Then mount the camera with the photo lens using the quick-release plate on the supplied ball head. With the ball head, the camera can be aligned and determined at any time on any section of the sky. As soon as the tracking motor is switched on, long-time exposure can be started immediately. This does not even take 5 minutes ... The tracking is carried out by a precise stepper motor, which can also be moved via the hand box with 2- or 32-fold speed in forward and reverse. Thus, the sky section can be adjusted even more precisely. Low power consumption allows up to 50 hours of operation with just one battery charge.

Enter the world of astrophotography now - with the new EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC 4K DEEP SKY ASTRO Camera including ST4 autoguider function.
This is truly new: Equipped with the new high-sensitive SONY IMX585 Exmor CMOS colour sensor, this astronomy camera delivers amazing image results with extremely short exposure times even with basic telescope equipment. In addition, this ultra-modern camera can also be used as an autoguider, e.g. to actively track the main imaging device with an SLR or CCD astro camera. An all-round camera that delivers super-sharp and high-resolution planetary images. The high 4K resolution of 3840x2160 pixels guarantees the best possible image result.
Sensor
The secret to the high light sensitivity is SONY's new back illuminated Exmor CMOS sensor.
It increases the quantum efficiency to up to 77 % at 533 nm, which
leads to an extremely high light sensitivity and thus particularly
bright and high-contrast photos. In addition, the particularly low noise level of this new CMOS sensor generation by SONY ensures exceptionally high brilliance and no active cooling is required.
Nevertheless, this astro camera has an elaborate internal structure
made of aluminium for ideal heat radiation and a fan that can be switched
on via software. When used with suitable telescopes, the high native
pixel resolution of 3840x2160 enables very nice overview images of the moon, but also detailed planetary images.
Solar Imaging
This camera is also recommended for solar astro-photography. Especially
the Lunt LS40 THa solar telescopes (item No. 0551145/0551146/0551147), with their short focal length, allow in combination with this planetary camera with its large sensor great overview images of the sun.
Important Note: When observing and taking photos of the sun,
always use a suitable protective solar filter or a special solar
telescope. Otherwise there is a risk of immediate blindness and damage
to the camera.
Software
The included Explore Capture professional software offers not only the necessary basic functions for image and video capture, but also many helpful special functions for image post-processing and for setting up the guider. Functions
such as live image display, exposure settings, white balance, dark
image capture, stacking, timelapse recording and much more can be
configured individually. Especially the very sophisticated software makes it really easy for you to get started in astrophotography. With the automatic settings you can produce absolutely presentable results without a lot of prior knowledge. And when you are ready, simply switch off the automatic settings and gradually venture into the individual professional settings.
Automatic tracking control
Connect the camera directly to the ST4 port of your telescope mount and you have a fully automatic tracking control. Thus, long exposures of several minutes are possible without
the stars producing unwanted star traces due to the always existing
periodic error of the telescope mount gears. A corresponding ST-4
connection cable is even included in the camera's scope of delivery. Because of the high
light sensitivity of the camera, you will always find a suitable guide
star even with very short exposure times. Simple automatic tracking at its best.
Connection
For the connection to telescopes, guiding scopes or off-axis guiders
the camera has a 1.25'' socket with 1.25'' filter thread (M28.5x0.6) and
a large T2 connection thread (M42x0.75) directly on the housing.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
This is not a stand-alone guider camera. You always need a Windows 10 or 11 computer to take pictures and for autoguiding.
The autoguider software is not included. You can use PHD2 Guiding, GuideDog, Metaguide, Guidemaster (freeware) or AstroArt, MaxIm DL (paid).
