SBIG Aluma AC455
The SBIG Aluma AC455 represents the state-of-the-art in Advanced Scientific CMOS cameras for astronomical imaging systems. Designed for reliability and performance, this camera ensures that you get the most from your telescope.
Avoiding various pitfalls of USB 3.0 interfaces, including short cable lengths, unreliable drivers, and electrical noise, this all-new design incorporates a 10 Gigabit per second Ethernet interface. This provides an extremely fast and highly reliable computer interface.
Extremely High Sensitivity and Dynamic Range
We use exclusively Industrial-grade IMX455 sensors for maximum reliability and performance. The combination of super-low 2.1 e- read noise, 51,000 e- well depth, and 16-bit conversion provides very high dynamic range. Increasing camera gain allows for read noise of 1.6 e- or better. Our electronics are carefully designed to ensure a stable bias level, simplifying calibration and quantitative measurements.
Thanks to a back-illuminated pixel design, the quantum efficiency is extremely high, providing exceptional sensitivity and minimizing integration times.
The above graph shows the absolute quantum efficiency curve for the IMX455 monochrome sensor as measured by an independent university researcher. The sensor features a peak quantum efficiency of 94% at 480 nm.
10 Gigabit Ethernet for Fast Download
The Aluma AC455 uses SFP+ Fiber Ethernet interface. SFP+ hardware is readily available and widely supported, and allows for cable lengths 100X longer than USB 3.0 (300m / 1000ft versus a mere 3m / 10ft). SFP+ fiber cables are highly flexible, lightweight, and durable, meaning that installation is a breeze even on very large telescopes.
The 61 megapixel sensor reads out into the camera’s internal DDR3 frame buffer in just 0.25 seconds, and the camera’s fiber Ethernet interface transmits the image in 0.25 seconds. This means that a high-performance computer can achieve up to 2 frames per second.
A handy primer on SFP+ fiber Ethernet is available in Appendix F of the Aluma AC455 User Manual User Manual.
Powerful SmartCooling™ Technology
Achieving high quality long-exposure images requires strong cooling and stable temperature regulation.
The Aluma AC455 features powerful two-stage thermoelectric cooling. It uses the same highly reliable thermoelectric cooling system first developed for our venerable SBIG STX series cameras.
Cooler performance has been upgraded via our new Enhanced Cooling version, now designated as Aluma AC455ME (monochrome) and Aluma AC455CE (color). Older cameras can now be upgraded to the new cooling system at extra cost – contact us for more information.
Our SmartCooling technology automatically optimizes fan speed, allowing minimal acoustic noise when cooling requirements are low, while ensuring thermal stability and reliability at high power levels. It also protects the camera against possible damage if the heat sink temperature or cooler power draw exceeds safety limits.
Critical electronics are cooled via a separate heat sink and fan, minimizing their impact on sensor cooling.
All functions of the Aluma AC455 camera, including cooling, operate from a single 12VDC 8A power supply.
User Rechargeable Desiccant
SBIG pioneered including a high-tech user-replaceable cartridge with ceramic filter and molecular sieve desiccant. Unlike competing cameras, which require factory service when their chamber desiccant eventually saturates out, the user can easily recharge the desiccant. This eliminates the need for costly service – not to mention the associated down-time and shipping costs. This feature is especially important in high-humidity locations.
The desiccant cartridge can be easily removed without dismounting the camera from the telescope, as it is accessible via a small door on the side of the camera.
We recommend recharging the desiccant every two years; once a year in high humidity environments. This not only eliminates any risk of downtime, it ensures that your sensor never gets contaminated or corroded by moisture accumulation.
Electronic Shutter
The SONY IMX455 sensor features an electronic rolling shutter. No mechanical shutter is required for normal operation.
To facilitate dark frame subtraction, the Aluma AC455 can use an SBIG filter wheel as a dark frame shutter. An opaque “filter” (included) can be installed in a user-designated filter slot; the camera will automatically use that as its dark frame shutter when needed. This facilitates convenient sensor calibration especially in remote/robotic installations.
Quality You Can Trust
Built in our ISO 9001:2015 quality certified North American facility, this camera uses only the high-reliability industrial-grade IMX455 CMOS sensor. Backed by our industry-leading warranty, you can be assured that this camera will provide reliable performance over a long lifetime. Our user-rechargeable desiccant system ensures long-term frost-free operation without the need for periodically returning the camera for service.
Optional Filter Wheel The Aluma AC455 is compatible with the SBIG AFW-10-50SQ Filter Wheel, supporting up to ten 50 mm square filters. Our incredibly thin yet rugged AFW filter wheels are only 0.65″ (16.5 mm) thick, minimizing back-focus requirements. If your telescope focal ratio is f/7 or higher, you can alternatively use the SBIG AFW-12-50R Filter Wheel, which supports up to twelve 50 mm round filters. At faster f/ratios we recommend using square filters to prevent vignetting. The AFW mounts directly to the front of the camera. Installation and cabling is greatly simplified as both power and control is provided directly by the camera’s I2C AUX port. Single-Shot Color Option
Two versions of the camera are available – the standard Aluma AC455M, and the Aluma AC455C Single-Shot Color camera. The AC455C uses an on-chip RGB Bayer matrix to produce color images, after suitable post-processing. For best results we recommend performing dark frame calibration prior to the color conversion (de-Bayer); this capability is built into the included MaxIm LT software as part of its Stack feature. The Single-Shot Color camera model is particularly useful in prime focus applications, where minimizing shadowing is important. The camera’s round profile helps minimize diffraction artifacts. For most applications we recommend using the Aluma AC455M monochrome camera, as it provides the greatest sensitivity and resolution. It can be used in conjunction with a filter wheel to produce RGB color or narrowband images, or to take photometric measurements using suitable filters. The included MaxIm LT software automates the process of acquiring and stacking multi-band images. Self-Guiding and Adaptive Optics Options Available
The available SBIG SBIG StarChaser SC-4 Off-Axis Guider Camera is an excellent low-cost option for integrated autoguiding in front of the filters, and it supports our SBIG AO-X Adaptive Optics accessory. The AO-X uses a tip-tilt window to quickly and precisely adjust the image position in response to autoguider feedback. With Adaptive Optics there is no backlash, stiction, or lag, and the movements are precise and accurate. This allows the AO-X to not only remove the effects of periodic error, drift, and wind gusts, but also reduce the effects of atmospheric seeing. When used with an Aluma AC camera, the AO-X requires the StarChaser SC-4. For more information please see AO-X. I2C AUX Port
All SBIG cameras include a convenient auxiliary control port (also known as an I2C AUX port), which controls the filter wheel and provides optional external trigger interfaces. Unlike older SBIG models, the AUX port is not used for AO-X control, as this function is now handled by the optional SBIG StarChaser off-axis guiding camera. MaxIm LT Software
All SBIG cameras come with our MaxIm LT software – a $249 value! MaxIm LT is a special version of our venerable MaxIm DL software for Windows that provides complete control of your camera, filter wheel, and autoguider, plus advanced image processing capabilities. If you wish you can upgrade to MaxIm DL Pro to get complete observatory integration and even more processing and analysis capabilities. ASCOM Driver
An industry-standard ASCOM driver is available, allowing you to control the camera from popular Windows-based astronomy applications. Mac and Linux drivers are available upon request. Please contact us for details. Choice of Adapter Plate
We now offer a choice of adapter plates. Currently available adapter plates include: Included Accessories
All Aluma AC cameras include a deluxe carrying case, universal power supply, Aluma AC power extension cable, your choice of adapter plates, and MaxIm LT software. Required Fiber Network Components
The Aluma AC455 uses a fiber Ethernet connection. You will need: All of these are readily available – information on sources is included in the User Manual. For your convenience these components can be ordered with the camera. Please note that the transceivers we supply are rated for industrial temperature range and are therefore suitable for winter temperatures. If you are in a temperate climate you may be able to use less-expensive modules.

Reveal stunning detail in your deep-sky astrophotography with the Origin 678C—Celestron’s next-generation camera for the Origin Intelligent Home Observatory. Featuring Sony’s latest Starvis 2 CMOS technology, this high-performance camera delivers increased resolution and finer detail thanks to its smaller pixel size and enhanced sensitivity.
The Origin 678C Camera replaces the original Origin 178C Camera, giving you an upgrade in image quality. Whether you're imaging galaxies, nebulae, or star clusters, you'll capture more object detail in images that better fill your smartphone or tablet’s display screen.
It’s the perfect way to further enhance your Origin experience—and your astroimaging.
What’s New with the Origin 678C Camera
The Origin 678C Camera brings meaningful enhancements to your astrophotography experience. Here’s what you can expect:
-
Increased resolution
Although both sensors are the same physical size, the IMX678C uses smaller 2.0 μm² pixels than the 2.4 μm² pixels in the IMX178C. This results in a finer resolution of 1.2 arcseconds per pixel (down from 1.5 arcseconds per pixel), allowing you to resolve more detail and “zoom in” slightly more on celestial objects. This is especially beneficial since most night sky targets are relatively small. -
Larger file sizes
Because the IMX678C packs more effective pixels (8.4 MP vs. 6.4 MP), image files will be somewhat larger. As a result, you may notice slightly slower automatic image processing in the app, depending on the performance of your smartphone or tablet. -
Increased sensitivity
Despite having smaller pixels, the IMX678C is slightly more sensitive overall than the IMX178C. The improvement is subtle; images won’t appear dramatically brighter. -
Different ISO response
ISO values are not directly comparable between the two sensors. The IMX678C's default ISO is 1000, while the IMX178C’s is 200. -
Different aspect ratio
The IMX678C uses a 16:9 aspect ratio, compared to the 3:2 ratio of the IMX178C. This means your field of view will appear more rectangular, ideal for framing larger regions of the sky and perfectly matched to the landscape orientation of most smartphone and tablet displays—making it easier to compose, view, and share your images.
Quick and Simple Installation
Upgrading to the Origin 678C Camera is fast and hassle-free. Designed to integrate seamlessly with your Origin system, the camera installs without any complicated tools or processes. Simply remove the existing camera, attach the Origin 678C using the included adapter and retaining ring, and plug it in.
After you install the new camera, we’ll walk you through capturing new calibration frames. Dark frames reduce sensor noise, while flat frames correct for illumination variations across the image. The Origin app makes this process simple and intuitive—and you can follow along with our video, too.
For the easiest and most consistent results, we recommend the PrimaLuceLab GIOTTO for Celestron Origin— a flat-field generator custom-designed for Origin that works with the same smartphone you use to control Origin. Whether you use GIOTTO or the evening sky (i.e., “sky flats”), capturing new flat frames ensures your upgraded system is optimized and ready to deliver stunning, high-contrast astrophotography from your very next session.
Second Life for Your Origin-178C Camera
Upgrading to the Origin 678C doesn’t mean your original camera has to sit on the sidelines. The Origin-178C is a powerful tool, and now it’s free to be used with other telescopes you may own. With its standard M42 T-thread connection, it mounts easily to most optical systems and makes a great planetary or lunar imaging camera. In minutes, your 178C will be ready for a whole new role in your astrophotography toolbox.
