The Atik Infinity Color CCD Camera is the first Atik Camera dedicated to video astronomy, boasting both the speed and sensitivity required for this rewarding technique. 

The ability to display images on a laptop where multiple people can see them at the same tume makes this the perfect outreach tool.

The Infinity features a Sony ICX825 sensor embedded with EXview HAD CCD II™ technology for outstanding sensitivity and Quantum Efficiency at a resolution suited to near real-time viewing. The generous 6,45 µm pixel size is well-suited to a broad range of telescopes while the slim, rectangular design ensures the camera can clear the base on fork-mounted scopes. This makes the Atik Infinity Color Camera well-suited to a huge variety of setups, from those just starting out right through to the professional observatory.

Atik Infinity Software

Alongside the Atik Infinity Color is a custom software application dedicated to video astronomy. Video astronomy is ideally suited for use in public outreach programs and educational settings. It allows faint objects to be seen in incredible detail by all involved and maintains that ‘at the telescope’ feeling without the need to queue up and crowd round an eyepiece.

The software features include:

  • Live continuous stacking
  • Flexible histogram control, including auto-stretch functions
  • Live YouTube broadcast integration
  • Interactive session replay
  • Focus assist and monitoring tools
  • Save to FITs, PNG and JPG formats

The Atik Infinity’s software features a simple, intuitive user interface for optimum usability without compromising camera control or performance. Live continuous stacking removes background noise, so you see more of what matters, and flexible histogram adjustments make sure you never miss a detail.

Integrated broadcasting features take the hassle out of sharing your sky, and voiceover and live web chat create a truly interactive experience, straight out the box. The software also features session record and interactive replay, so you remain in full control of the display when sharing your sessions with family and friends.

With a choice of either a mono or a color sensor, the Infinity caters for those who prioritize absolute detail, as well as those who want to explore the universe in color beyond the sensitivity of the unaided human eye.

Multi-Purpose

While other video astronomy cameras are often scaled up versions of guide cameras or cameras used in security applications, the Atik Infinity is based on a high-end, fully-fledged 16bit camera originally developed for OEM use in microscopy and inspection applications. This makes it a no compromise solution for capturing high-quality images at live view frame rates, designed with even the most demanding users in mind.

This said, the Atik Infinity can still then be used as an exceptional guide camera, featuring a standard ST4 guide port for direct connection to your mount. And if video astronomy and high-end guiding aren’t enough, the Infinity is also fully compatible with all our existing software packages, making it suitable for use as an entry-level imaging camera.
