Anyone using Levenhuk cameras that can point me at a review or maybe comment on these?

What do you want to use it for? Planetary? Solar? DSO's?

Their telescopes are rebadged Synta produced so I guess that their cameras will be similarly sourced from elsewhere.

A quick search on the internet suggests that they get their cameras from Hangzhou Touptek Photonics Co Ltd. http://touptek.com/

Hi,

Many thanks for the replies so far! There are three cameras of interest from Levenhuk: T130, T310 and T510. They are cheap but I can't find info on which sensors they use or the type of cooling they employ on their web site. Cornelius's post is very informative as it seems they use the older Sony EXView or Super HAD CCDs and have active cooling. It would seem - I'm just guessing - that the T130 is more appropriate as a planetary/autoguider camera; the T310 is perhaps a good planetary camera and the T510 may be good for planetary/bright DSO AP. I have no way of verifying this is correct but these cameras look interesting :-)
