The High-Sensitivity Chip The colour camera is based on the sensitive Sony ICX-424 AQ chip. Its high sensitivity allows you to use telescopes with a slower f-ratio. The monochrome camera uses the Sony ICX-424 AL chip. For both cameras the chip size is approx. 55% larger than the older ATiK 1C. The chip diagonal is 6mm. As a consequence you can use telescopes with a longer focal length or can take images of larger objects. Left Image: ....... The smaller rectangle shows the chip of the older ATiK 1C and ATiK 16 IC cameras in direct comparison. |

The ATiK Filter Wheel offers several important advantages when using 1.25" filters. It is made both for visual and photographical applications. -- Safe Storage of Your Filters ...... Filters are well protected against dust and dirt. During operation they are also protected against dew. -- Rapid Change of Filters ...... by turning the large knurled wheel you can switch filters in the blink of an eye. You can easily compare the effect of your various filters, or take LRGB images, without having to take off any part of your equipment. -- Ultra-Short Optical Length ...... allows you to use the filter wheel in telescopes with short back focus, such as many Newtonian telescopes. -- Versatile T2 Thread ...... you can use any of a very large range of adaptors on both sides of the filter wheel. -- Easy Filter Insertion ...... just remove the four screws at the edge of the filter wheel and take off the cover. Then you can change the filters easily. You can fit up to 5x 1.25" filters. |

The filter support kit allows you to switch 1.25" filters quickly without having to remove the camera first.

An overview of available accessories:
Left of the filter support kit: Adaptations to the telescope - 2" and 1.25" Right of the filter support kit: Adaptations for cameras and eyepieces - ATiK camera (direct adaptation), T-ring for SLR cameras, 1.25" eyepiece clamp |

Switching 1.25" filters without having to take off the camera or eyepiece! This is the very practical function of the ATiK filter support kit. The function is particularly practical for 3-colour CCD imaging because it allows you to switch the filters without the risk of losing focus. Please see the ATiK filter wheel to find another solution for this common problem!) Of course the filter support kit is also very practical for taking images of the planets with different filters. We offer adaptations for most telescopes - 1.25", 2" and SC thread. You can even use normal eyepieces or other accessories with a 1.25" barrel with our optional T2-1.25" adaptor. This allows you to use the filter support kit visually, allowing you to try and compare the effect of different filters more easily. Visual Use: With our T2-1.25" adaptor you can attach eyepieces to the filter support kit, allowing you to use the filter support kit for visual observations. Suggestion: We recommend to use a separate filter support drawer for all filters which you use frequently. This makes changing filters much less time consuming and more convenient. |
|
|
Practical Use: After taking an image just remove the filter support drawer from the filter support body and insert the next drawer with a different filter. The filter will snap into position precisely. We recommend to use a separate filter support drawer for each filter. Connections:
Scope of Delivery: The basic set of the filter support kit consists of one filter support body and one filter support drawer for a 1.25" filter. The filter support body has a T2 female thread at the telescope side and a T2 male thread at the camera side. You can exchange filters without removing the camera. If you want to exchange filters more easily we recommend to use one filter drawer for each frequently used filter. Prices:

Baader IR / UV Cut Filter
|
|
1.25" Baader IR / UV Cut Filter - recommended whenever there are any glass elements between the object and the camera ..........................................................
SEK 375,- Telelenses and telescope objective lenses are not corrected in the infrared and ultraviolet range of the spectrum (exception: reflecting telescopes). Unlike the naked eye the CCD chip of ATiK cameras is sensitive in the near IR. As a consequence contrast and sharpness would suffer. For this reason you should cut off the IR and UV light whenever there are any glass elements between the camera and the object (objective lens, correcting lens, focal reducer, ...). The Baader IR cut filter is an interference filter with a steep, precisely controlled filter curve. For the naked eye the filter seems fully transparent since the human eye doesn't perceive the IR and UV light. ...........................................................................................................................................

0.5x Focal Reducer with 1.25" Filter Thread
|
Reduction of the focal length - reduction of the exposure time - larger field of view
recommended in particular for long focal length telescopes! |
|
|
0.5x Focal Reducer for Visual and Photographical Use The TS / ATiK focal reducer reduces the focal length of the lens / telescope by half. As a result you will get a much larger field of view (100% larger in diameter = 300% larger in surface). This is a great advantage for visual observing as well as photography. Adaptation The TS / ATiK easily fits to a camera or an eyepiece. It has the standard 1.25" filter thread. You can screw it into the filter thread of an eyepiece directly. Likewise most 1.25" camera adaptors have the 1.25" filter thread (e.g. the 1.25"-T2 adaptor we offer with the ATiK cameras). Fields of Use Imaging: - larger field of view and shorter exposure times. The focal reducer is not only recommended for ATiK cameras, but also for:: --- Philips Webcam ( Further Information - German ) --- Deep Sky Video Camera WAT 120 ( Further Information - German ) --- Mintron Video Cameras ( Further Information - German ) Visual Use: - larger field of view with 1.25" eyepieces. This is particularly interesting in long focal length telescopes when trying to observe large objects. Due to the shorter distance between the reducer and the eyepiece field stop (compared with a camera) the focal reduction is only by a factor of approx. 0.75x. The focal position is only changed by about 5mm inwards. |
 |
Specifications:
Boosting the Focal Reduction By inserting and extension tube between the focal reducer and the eyepiece or camera you can get a more extreme focal reduction. The item you will need is the " TSV F1". |
| Note: The focal reducer does not only reduce the focal length, but also changes the position of the focal plane slightly inwards. Under normal circumstances even telescopes with a notoriously narrow focal position (Newtonians, ...) will work with the reducer. In such cases we do not recommend to use the "TSV F1" extension tube, though, especially in Newtonian telescopes. |

Case for ATiK Cameras
Safe storage and transport
|
|
A CCD camera is a delicate piece of equipment. You should always take great care when using it, but also when storing it or transporting it. This robust case for the ATiK cameras is the ideal "home" for your camera. It is made of shock resistant plastic and is foam fitted for the ATiK cameras. Furthermore it is water resistant. In the case the camera is always safely stored. There is enough space for cables and some accessories like the filter support kit.

Adaptation on Camera Lenses
|
If you want to attach an existing camera lens to the ATiK camera - with integrated camera tripod mount
|
|
|
ATiK CCD cameras can of course also be used with existing camera lenses. You can get very nice large-field images. This is particularly interesting with short camera lenses up to 135mm focal length. Adaptation to a Tripod or Telescope The adaptors include a 1/4" standard camera thread. This allows you to attach them to most camera tripods. Likewise many telescopes offer camera mounts (piggy back mounts) that allow you to attach the ATiK cameras parallel to the main telescope with these adaptors. Prices
