 Our main cameras are CMOS cameras developed specifically for astrophotography. For deep-sky imaging we use two QHY 600Ms, which offer, among other things, a full-frame sensor, very high quantum efficiency, very low readout noise, and a very low dark current. For these cameras we also have an off-axis guider, one filter wheel with 9 positions, and one filter wheel with 7 positions.
-A QHY 268M serves as the main camera for our two [[en:ost:spektrograph:grunddaten|spectrographs]]. We also have a veTEC 533C from Omegon and a range of guiding and planetary cameras. These are used primarily for solar observations or as guiding cameras (see e.g. [[en:ost:ccds:maximdl#Guiding|here]]) in combination with the QHY 600M and the spectrographs.

 ===== Special Features =====
-  * An adaptive optics unit, the AO-7, can be placed in front of the ST-7 and ST-8, which can be used for guiding and optimising image quality (see e.g. [[en:ost:ccds:ccdops#Self-Guiding mit der AO-7|here]]).

   * In addition to the main imaging chip, the ST-7 and ST-8 contain a secondary guiding chip that allows the telescope to automatically track an object (see e.g. [[en:ost:ccds:ccdops#Guiding|here]]) while the main CCD captures the actual images.
   * The off-axis guiders of the STF-8300 and the QHY 600M have the advantage of being mounted in front of the respective filter wheel, meaning that guiding is independent of the guide star's brightness in the selected filter. As a result, fainter objects can be used as guide stars with these two cameras than is possible with the ST-7 or ST-8.
