The Kepler Series is a giant step forward in throughput, providing faster digitization, higher speedinterfaces, and up to 35 channel readout. Sensors currently supported include front and back illuminated sCMOS. Future developments will include interline transfer CCDs and EMCCDs.

  •  USB3.0 (3 Gbps)
  • Optional QSFP high speed fiber interface
  • Optional Electromechanical Shutter for Remote Acquisition of Calibration Frames
  • Choice of Windows - View Transmissivity Curves
  • Air Cooling or Liquid Cooling (LC connectors sold separately)
  • Deep Cooling (up to 45C below ambient)
  • Optional Anti-Dew Technology (ADT)
  • LDR and HDR modes
  • Small Footprint (as small as 10.2 x 10.2 x 10.7 cm)
  • Reaches operating temperatures in 10 minutes

Available with a front-illuminated sensor or high-QE back-illuminated sensor, the Kepler KL6060 camera is capable of taking up to 19 frames per second using the optional QSFP fiber interface. This affordable camera is a game-changing solution for Space Debris Detection and Space Situational Awareness applications and is ideal for universities or dedicated amateurs who want to capture every possible photon.
