Then: using it in the telescope, try at daytime with a terrestrial object that is at least a few dozen meters away. When I tried the SV105 with my guidescope I first used my car as a target on daylight to figure out the focusing distance.

Learning about the best timing for different objects also helps. For example, you’ll get crispier pictures of some objects around the first light (dawn) during specific periods of the year. SVBONY SV105 camera uses USB2.0 type, so make sure you have at least USB2.0 available. Of course, it will also work in USB 3.0 and USB 3.1 slots. Necessary software for SVBONY SV105 Camera After our customers used the Svbony SV105 astronomy camera for some times, all the default data have been changed. So it may lead to this problem when you reconnect the Svbony SV105 camera to your computer again. However, please don’t worry. Just restore the default data, this problem will be fixed. Here are the steps:Then the Resolution drop down menu should be used to select 1920 x 1080. This camera does not support Region of interest, so there is nothing to be gained by selecting a smaller resolution. SV105 works well with telescope focal lengths in 400mm to 800mm range so using a refractor telescope with this focal length should allow seeing a clear image without any accessories. But here is the question and the subject of todays review. How well does the SV105 work with imaging the Sun? Lately I have spent several days using the Svbony SV105 eyepiece camera to image the Sun and every time I have used it I have been getting better and better results. What is amazing is how well the SV105 camera works with the Android USB Camera App which I use pretty much use all the time along with several astroprocessing apps (which I will get into later down in the review). For solar imaging I deliberately used the shortest focal length telescope I own to get the widest field of view possible as I needed to get the whole disk of the sun in the SV105 camera view. Like most budget cameras keep in mind the SV105 has a very small field of view due to it's small sensor size. So I pulled out my trusty little tabletop Celestron 76mm Firstscope (with a focal length of 350mm) along with a Bard Solar filter I had lying around, a Svbony Variable Polarizing Filter (I used half of one) along with a orange colored filter which seems to work well to bring out the sunspot details nicely. Of course i had to adjust out the orange color out and for this I used the built in hue adjustment control in USB Camera app to alter the color and make the sun less orange and more natural looking. Seeing conditions were not optimal in any of the images. Still waiting for a good night so I can push the limit of the camera.

I then moved over the moon which was rising in the east, I had to wait about an hour for the sky to calm down and the moon to rise high enough. SharpCap with SV105 + 5X Powermate Pointed at the moon Before dishing out for the ERF and Quark and all that; I would suggest you get a white light setup first, it's much cheaper to build, and will give you the same experience in terms of what resolution is possible, what image scale, etc, in your seeing conditions, if you image in red wavelength (610nm Baader for example, or any basic red imaging filter). It will be photosphere, but it will tell you how an HA system of the same aperture and image scale would perform in your seeing conditions. Super handy information to know before dishing out for expensive stuff. It will work with Windows 7, 8, and 10 without issues. But remember to use only the cable provided in the box. Hi gang. Not sure if this is relevant anymore but here is a link to my gallery regarding the Svbony SV105 and Solar imaging (no processed images allowed in forum discussions so will not post anymore images in these forums I got my hands slapped yesterday). I have more images to upload to my gallary there is you like (lots with the SV105). I am using a couple of small tabletop telescopes - a Celestron Firstscope 76mm and a Meade ETX 60AT in my computer room (yeah in the house through the window) for my imaging and my cell phone using the Android USB camera app. That is one of the nice things with the SV105 you can use a cellphone or tablet usb cable. I admit I do play around with various colored filters such as red, orange, purple, etc and then process in registax with many different settings to see the effect on the Sun, etc...anyways enjoy...I agree with other users here unless you are rich buy a white filter (very cheap) and try before you spend more money on really really expensive solar scopes ...just my 2 cents...Q5:Can the sv105/205/305 be connected to the guide scope? A5:Yes, but sv105/205 is not suitable for capturing deep space images. Q6: Is the camera color? A6: At present, except that the SV305M Pro camera is monochrome, all other svbony astronomical cameras are color. Q7: Does the camera have filter threads and dimensions? A7: All our cameras are threaded and can be fitted with 1.25 inch filters. Sharpcap runs on Microsoft Windows – you should choose the version of SharpCap to install based on your version of Windows. Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 7 (with SP1) Jupiter was first up in the night sky, and once I had dialed in the exposure settings (a combination of exposure time and gain) on the screen it looked pretty good despite seeing occasionally fluttering. Its late summer here so temperature shifts and high humidity play havoc with seeing conditions. What Jupiter looked like on the computer screen
