SBIG Aluma AC4040

Our most popular camera, the SBIG Aluma AC4040 is a large format Scientific CMOS camera, featuring a 16.8 megapixel sensor with 9 micron pixels.  The camera is compatible with the StarChaser SC-4 Guider and optional AO-X Adaptive Optics accessories.

The Aluma AC4040 is available in Front Illuminated (FSI) and ultra-sensitive Back-Illuminated (BSI) versions.  BSI versions are offered with VIS-NIR and UV-VIS optical coating options.

SBIG AFW Filter Wheels

SBIG AFW Filter Wheels are fast and quiet, and are designed to be compatible with our full line of SBIG cameras.  Two size formats are available:

Large Format AFW wheels are ultra-thin, minimizing back focus distance. The standard version, which accommodates filters ranging from 1 mm to 3 mm thick, uses only 0.55" (14 mm) back focus. The tall version, which accommodates 5 mm thick filters, uses only 0.65" (16.5 mm) back focus.

Compact Format AFW wheels are a lower-cost option for our compact Aluma CCD and STC-428 cameras.  For users needing more filter slots, an adapter is also available to interface our compact format cameras to a Large Format AFW-16-36R.
