A cutting-edge addition to the world of photography and videography, the Aluma 814 Camera with Self-Guiding Filter Wheel Pro Package is a high-performance, durable, and user-friendly device. This innovative camera is equipped with a 9-megapixel Sony ICX-814ALG sensor, offering 3388 x 2712 pixels at 3.69 microns square, ensuring high sensitivity and extremely low dark current for superior image quality.

The Aluma 814 Camera is a portable device, weighing just 2.2 lbs and measuring a compact 4.5" x 4.5" x 4" with handles. It features a two-stage cooling system, USB 2.0 and WiFi 802.11 b/g/n interfaces, an ultra-reliable even-illumination shutter, and a fast low-noise readout. This makes it an ideal choice for professional photographers and videographers seeking high-quality imaging equipment.

Designed for multi-platform operation, the Aluma 814 Camera is compatible with iOS, Android, Windows, Macintosh, and Linux. It can be operated from a tablet, smartphone, or PC, offering flexibility and convenience to users. The Aluma series supports a wide range of accessories, including the 8-position FW8S-Aluma filter wheel with micron-level filter positioning, FW8G-Aluma filter wheel with built-in autoguider, AO-8A Adaptive Optics accessory, Remote Guide Head, and CLA lens adapters.

The Aluma 814 Camera features an optional FW8S-Aluma 8-position filter wheel that precisely centers each filter in the exact same position every time, eliminating ghost images of dust spots and other artifacts after flat-fielding. The Aluma filter wheel replaces the camera's front plate, resulting in the minimum possible back-focus, ensuring that the camera/filter wheel combination will reach focus on the widest possible variety of optical systems.

The Aluma 814 Camera also comes with an optional AO-8A Adaptive Optics accessory. This uses a tip-tilt window to quickly and precisely adjust the image position in response to autoguider feedback, reducing the effects of atmospheric seeing and other factors that can degrade image quality.
