Photometric Cameras

Whether you’re an optical technician performing precise measurements of luminosity, an AAVSO member performing precision measurements of variable stars, or you’re part of a team tracking exo-planet transits to find elusive planets orbiting distant stars,  SBIG has cameras capable of precision photometry.

Our SBIG Aluma CCD detectors featuring Teledyne e2v sensors have outstanding quantum efficiency and superb linearity for calibration across the visible spectrum. These superb cameras have large pixels that are well suited to replace the classic ST-10XME and its successors used by photometrists for nearly two decades. The large format cameras are well suited to measuring the faintest targets and are very linear, allowing you to perform accurate calibration and measurement.
