The best cameras for astrophotography ae models that enable you to simply yet effectively capture what you see in the night sky and produce beautiful images of the cosmos.
These cameras enable you to shoot planets, stars, galaxies, nebulae, or even starry nightscapes of the Milky Way stretching up from the horizon.
But choosing which astrophotography camera to buy can be the hardest part of the whole process.
How do you decipher the best cameras for astrophotography among the different types available?
How do you navigate each camera’s capabilities and different price points?
Will you be able to connect your camera to your telescope?
Will a smartphone camera suffice for capturing images of the night sky?
If you find yourself asking these questions, don’t worry!
These are all things to consider before you take the leap into the incredible world of astrophotography.
The type of astrophotography camera you need depends ultimately on what you want to take photographs of.
But of course both your budget and level of experience will come into play.

The main consideration when selecting what sort of camera you need for astrophotography is whether you wish to pursue wide-field, planetary, or deep-sky imaging.
Typically, any device used for night-sky imaging will need to perform long exposures, have remote shutter capability and ISO control (to alter sensitivity to light).
Browse our list of the best cameras for astrophotography below or jump to our top choices via these links:
The Canon EOS 1000D is an older model in camera terms, but as such it makes a great entry-level DSLR camera for those starting out in astrophotography. Compare it, for example, with Canon’s EOS Ra astrophotography camera further down this list and you’ll see what we mean.
For astrophotography the 1000D is perfectly capable of producing excellent astrophotos. It boasts excellent noise handling even at high ISO settings and the controls are very easy to operate in the dark.
If you’re starting out in astrophotography and want to take your first steps using a DSLR, you should be able to pick one up cheaply by looking online or buying one second hand.
The Bresser full HD is aimed capturing images of planets, the Moon and also some basic deep-sky imaging. It uses Sony’s IMX290 colour sensor, which is highly sensitive to faint light and has extremely low read noise.
The camera comes with a guide port so can also be used for autoguiding, and also includes a 1.25-inch nosepiece, ST4 guide cable, USB 2.0 cable and a software CD.
We found good detail on our targets, including M27, the Moon and Jupiter. This is a decent camera that will enable astrophotographers to capture a range of targets including the Sun, our Moon and deep-sky objects.
Key specs
Camera type: BRESSER / Touptek GPCMOS02000KPA color
The GPCAM2 327C is simple to set up and get going, making it a good choice for those who need to make the most of gaps in clouds. Once the drivers are installed, you plug it in and the software recognises it immediately, enabling you to slew your scope to your target and set exposure length and gain.
The camera is particularly good for electronically assisted astronomy, with live video that can be displayed on a laptop for outreach events or showing off to friends.
The camera uses the Sony IMX327 STARVIS sensor, with 2.9micron pixels in 1920×1080 format. At full resolution in 12-bit mode, speeds of up to 18 frames per second (fps) can be achieved.
The IMX224 sensor in the ASI224 has excellent infrared sensitivity, which means it can be used for proper infrared imaging when a suitable infrared-pass filter is fitted, for example the bright planets.
Try Jupiter and Saturn with speciality filters such as methane (CH4), which is centred on 889nm. The excellent RGB sensitivity is great for Solar System targets, but also brighter deep-sky objects: exposure range runs from 32 microseconds to 1,000 seconds.
With a 4-inch, f/9 telescope we were able to photograph the Orion Nebula‘s core with sub-second exposures. This is an exciting camera to use.
Like Canon’s EOS 1000D, the Nikon D700 is an older model and as such, a great budget option for those looking for a reliable camera that won’t stretch the bank balance.
As an astrophotography camera, there’s a lot to shout about, such as its default ISO range from 200-6400 and the ability to extend this further to 100-26600. High ISO increases sensitivity, enabling you to catch more detail.
It has vignette control to reduce the ‘shading’ effect at the edge of frame that can be produced by some optics.
We also love that it has an intervalometer, allowing you to program the camera to take a sequence of exposures automatically. This makes it great for capturing a time-lapse of the stars or for photographing meteor showers.
You may be able to pick a camera like this up second-hand, making it one of the best cameras for astrophotography for those on a budget.
The package we reviewed comprised Pentax’s flagship K-5 IIs DSLR camera, a 16-50mm f/2.8 lens, a wireless remote control and the Astrotracer O-GPS1 unit, which is a a device that tracks the sky through a by physically adjusting the DSLR’s mirror.
The camera’s built-in shake reduction system uses sensors to dampen vibrations during handheld photography, and the Astrotracer is able to use information from the sensors to generate alignment data in three axes. This enables it to calculate the movement of celestial objects as Earth rotates.
After one minute the Astrotracer was able to cope well with tracking, and even after two minutes, there was little error evident.
Indeed, considering it only takes 10 seconds for stars to trail in photographs taken on a fixed camera with a 50mm lens, the Astrotracer is pretty impressive in that it can compensate for Earth’s rotation, even after two minutes.
This is probably a camera that will appeal to astrophotography beginners, and oif you’re on a budget it could serve as an alternative to expensive standalone tracking platforms.
Canon’s EOS M100 is an entry-level, mirrorless, interchangeable lens camera that’s highly portable, and upon experimentation with a telescope, ended up being a decent camera for astrophotography.
Canon’s M-series models are designed to take EF-M lenses, but you can still use EF/EF-S lenses on the EOS M100 with the help of an optional adaptor. This allows you to connect the camera to a telescope via an EF-T mount adaptor.
Shutter speed can be set to take exposures lasting 1/4,000th of a second to 30 seconds, or even longer with bulb mode. ISO extends from 100-25,600, but we managed great results with 1,600-3,200.
We were encouraged, using the EOS M100 with a telescope. It’s not perfect, but it’s flexible, easy to use, portable and capable of taking some great astronomy shots.
Throughout our reviews, our independent reviewers seems to find Canon DSLRs among the best cameras for astrophotography.
Altair Hypercam 183M V2 mono astronomy imaging camera
Altair Hypercam 183M V2 mono astronomy imaging camera
The Hypercam 183M is a compact camera that pairs well with short focal length refractors or camera lenses.
It has a built-in filter that blocks infrared and ultraviolet wavelengths. Set-up is easy. Just download and install the driver package and then plug in the camera.
The camera is aimed at deep-sky imaging, although with user-defined Region of Interest settings, lunar, solar or planetary imaging are possible because the camera will record video files that can be processed and stacked.
At a decent price and simple to use, this Hypercam is a great option for deep-sky imaging, including narrowband objects.
The Atik Infinity is controlled by a Windows-based program also called Infinity, which is well-designed and simple to use.
The controls enable you to adjust exposure and binning.
A ‘finder’ mode lets the camera perform a short exposure, high-binned loop, perfect for locating faint objects.
In video mode the camera exposes in a continuous loop, sending two or three full frames to the computer every second.
Its software analyses image quality and adds it to a stacked result to produce a cleaner image. We loved watching the spiral arms of the Whirlpool Galaxy become better defined after just a few stacked images.
The software interface is easy to get to grips with and is great for outreach sessions where you might be using the camera for live public viewing.
Key specs
Sensor: Sony ICX825ALA
Pixels: 1,392×1,040 array (8.9×6.7mm, 11mm diagonal) using 6.45μm square pixels
The ASI294MC Pro contains Sony’s IMX294 CJK back-illuminated 3/4-inch sensor, comes with 256MB DDR3 (double data rate type three) memory installed and a two-stage TEC cooling system that cools to between –35°C and –45°C below ambient temperature.
When the camera is in ROI mode, the frame rate can run up to 120fps. High gain conversion mode is engaged when gain goes over 120 and this helps keep the dynamic range constant.
The camera produces a fine image on screen and capture is very easy. We only needed about 200 frames and to stack 50 to produce a decent image of the Moon. It performed well as a planetary imager, too, even under poor conditions.
Key specs
Sensor: Sony IMX294
Sensor size: 19.1×13.0mm
Resolution: 11.7MP (4,144×2,822MP)
Exposure: 32us-2,000s
Max FPS at full resolution: 19fps
Weight: 0.80kg
Extras: 1.8m USB3 cable; 1.25-inch nose piece; cover and adaptor; padded bag; CD with imaging software
The Canon EOS-1D X is aimed squarely at professional photographers, and it shows. It’s superb and comes with a range of advanced function.
It offers a full-frame sensor, shoots full-resolution JPEG images up to 14 frames per second (fps), or 12fps if using RAW.
It uses a 61-point auto-focus system, has 100,000-pixel RGB auto-exposure metering and can record movies at HD (1080p) resolution.
In terms of its use for astrophotography, the best feature of the Canon EOS-1D X has got to be its extended ISO range.
It can be set to ISO 100-51200 in one-third or whole- stop increments. An additional boost facility adds ISO 50 (L), 102400 (H1) and 204800 (H2).
With higher ISO settings comes greater image noise and loss of dynamic range, but the camera does a decent job of keeping these issues under control for the middle settings.
The QHY533C is pitched as a beginner’s CMOS camera, yet the housing and build matches that of QHYCCD’s high-end models.
This a camera that delivers a lot for the money.
Loading the camera settings, you’ll notice default settings for gain and black level, depending on your target choice, be it deep-sky, planetary or solar. Good news for those uses who are new to deep-sky and CMOS imaging.
The QHY533C is certainly pitched as an entry-level camera, but its features, sensitivity and image quality show it’s a camera that experienced astrophotographers will relish having in their collection.
Key specs
Sensor: Sony IMX533 colour
Sensor size: 1 inch
Resolution: 9MP, 3,008 x 3,028 pixels
Exposure range: 30ms to 3,600 seconds
Connectivity: USB 3.0, CFW port, power
Size: 9 x 9 x 10.6cm
Weight: 845g
Extras: Mains power supply, USB 3.0 cable, adaptor kit
The Atik CMOS is available in two formats: one-shot colour (OCS) and monochrome. We reviewed the former. It comes with a full software suite, including Artemis Capture imaging software and offers adjustable gain setting.
Download speed from camera to our laptop was fast, which helped smooth out the framing and focussing. The Horizon is a well-built, capable imaging device offering low read noise and adjustable sensitivity.

The QHY 168C is a one-shot colour astrophotography camera that boast an APS-C sized sensor. This is a size format frequently found in non-full-frame DSLRs.
In fact, the QHY 168C uses a Sony IMX071 colour CMOS sensor, which is the same that Nikon uses in many of its DSLRs. Yet despite this, the camera offers far greater functionality than a regular DSLR.
Exposure times range from 30 microseconds to 1 hour (3,600 seconds), and the 168C also offers region of interest (ROI) definition.
This camera is really a jack of all trades in terms of its ability to be used for wide-field deep-sky imaging and capturing the planets too.
The ASI 1600GT M is a bit bigger than what you would expect from a ZWO camera. It’s stylish, has a heatsink back case, two cooling fans and two handles and is finished in anodised red. On the bottom you’ll find a USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0 sockets, as well as a ‘power in’ socket and a new ‘power out’ socket that can carry 12V to other devices.
The ASI 1600GT features a Panasonic MN34230 sensor, which many will know has a great track record in the field of astrophotography. This is a great camera that performs very well and is perfect for anyone searching for a mono camera that’s easy to use.
Key specs
Sensor: Panasonic MN34230
Image format: 4,656 x 3,520 pixels
Pixel size: 3.8µm

Extras: Cables, an extender and spacer adaptors, filter masks, a screwdriver and screws
Altair Hypercam 26C APS-C colour 16-bit camera review
An upgrade and improvement over previous models, the Hypercam 26C has a large APS-C-sized sensor with 512MB of built-in DDR memory. The camera produces full colour 26MB images and is well suited for long exposure deep-sky astrophotography. However, it’s not ideal for planetary imaging and in full-frame mode the captured file sizes quickly fill up disk space.
But this is a fantastic camera and features an IMX571 sensor with true 16-bit capability, allowing for the capture of over 65,000 levels of intensity within an image. The back-lit Sony sensor keeps noise to a minimum and allows higher gain settings to be used for speedier shooting The camera produced top-quality full colour photographs at the upper limit of what our equipment and sky quality permitted.
The α7S is a type of camera known as an MILC: a mirrorless interchangeable lens camera. These are similar to DSLRs because you can change the lenses and attach them to telescopes using an adaptor, but they don’t have a reflex flip mirror for observing what’s coming through the lens. Instead, they dispay this on a rear screen or electronic viewfinder.
The α7S boasts a full frame (35mm) sensor offering 12.2 megapixels. Many high-end cameras break the 20-megapixel barrier, so you could be forgiven for thinking the α7S is tame, but this is a good thing where astro imaging is concerned. Lower pixel density means individual light collecting photosites are larger.
Our tests with low to mid-range ISOs were extremely encouraging, and we saw plenty of detail with low noise. This is a very impressive camera for astrophotography, particularly when it comes to meteor showers, aurorae and wife-field Milky Way shots.
Scoring 5 stars out 5 in our tests, the Sony A7s is one of the best cameras for astrophotography, according to our independent reviewer.
Key specs
Sensor: Full frame 12.2 megapixel Exmor CMOS
• ISO range: 50 to 409600 for stills; 200 to 409600 for video
• Size: 126.9×94.4 x48.2mm
• Weight: 489g (including battery and storage card)
Explore Scientific Deep Sky Astro Camera 7.1MP review
The Explore Scientific Deep Sky 7.1MP comes in a tough black plastic case and includes accessories such as a software disc to install all the drivers and software. It’s made from lightweight aluminium anodised in blue and has a nice, solid feel.
After a night’s imaging, our processed results revealed hardly any noise or unwanted artefacts. Considering exposure time, we could see plenty of detail. This is down to the low noise Sony Exmor IMX428 CMOS 7.1MP colour sensor offering resolution of 3,200 x 2,200 pixels and a size of 14.4mm x 9.9mm. The sensor is very sensitive to faint targets so you can captured deep-sky targets very speedily. This makes it a pleasure to use.
Key specs
Sensor: Sony Exmor IMX428 CMOS colour sensor

The first thing you notice about the ACIS 7.1 is its very impressive build quality, which you might expect from a camera designed for pros. No rough edges or flimsy settings: this is a solid, stylish and chunky little unit. It’s controlled using Atik’s imaging software: either Artemis Capture or Dusk.
Ultimately the Atik ACIS 7.1 is one of those high-performing cameras that bridges the gap between being speedy enough for planetary imaging and oozing the quality required for capturing deep-sky targets.
This is undoubtedly one of the best CMOS cameras for astrophotography.
Starlight Xpress Trius Pro 694 mono CCD camera bundle
Starlight Xpress Trius Pro 694
This astrophotography bundle includes a foam-lined case, Lodestar X2 off-axis guide camera and SXMFW-1T mini filter wheel. The camera’s sensor is a medium-format, high-resolution EXview CCD chip, with 6,050,000 x 4.54µm square pixels in a 15.98mm diagonal array.
We were very impressed with the quality of design. It’s solid and with a nice coat of paint and the threads screw together nicely. The sensor boasts improved lower noise reading (3 electrons), which is a reduction from the original Trius SX-694 (4–4.5 electrons).
What’s more, image download time is 2.5 seconds at full resolution. We found the camera could capture high-quality frames, meaning less processing work was required to produce outstanding images.
The EOS Ra operates much the same as a regular Canon DSLR camera, albeit a high-end one! This makes it easy to get to know, and if you are familiar with Canon cameras, you should find it very easy to use. You can connect it to a telescope using a Canon T-ring and EF to EOS R adaptor. Bulb mode is accessed in the mode-wheel to enable long exposures.We loved the Ra’s Wi-Fi and Bluetooth provisions, which enable connection to smart devices using the Canon Connect app.
We used the Ra to capture a Milky Way panorama and found the camera’s dexterity really shone through. Imaging with moderate low-level light pollution at 15mm, nebulosity in and around Cygnus was quite visible.
Key specs
Sensor: 36 x 24mm 30.3MP CMOS sensor
ISO range: 100-40,000
Live View: magnify image 5x, 10x or 30x for manual focusing
The Sony A9 is an impressive camera with lots of pleasing hidden features. The body fits nicely in the hand and the control wheels are easily accessible, particularly in the dark.
Four customisable ‘C’ buttons give the photographer flexibility when adapting the camera’s configuration.
We found the Sony A9 was very impressive when used for deep-sky astrophotography. The ‘Live View’ was brilliant and reduced the time taken to set up considerably.
Perhaps most impressive was the A9’s ‘Interval Shooting’ function, which allows astro imaging beginners the ability to experiment with multiple long exposure deep-sky shots without requiring an intervalometer. Turning to lunar photography, we were able to keep the Moon central over several images and during post-processing could recover exquisite detail on the surface.
The A9’s battery lasted three nights – about 4.5 hours – and even under light summer night skies we were able to extract clean images.
Key specs
Sensor: 35mm full frame (35.6mm x 23.8mm), Exmor RS CMOS sensor
Megapixels: 24.2MP
ISO range: 100–51,200, expandable to 204,800
Live View: Magnify image 4.7x, 9.4x for manual focusing
Our Canon EOS R6 review model arrived just in time for full Moon, which meant we were able to try out its fast video capability.
The EOS R6 can shoot in 4K at up to 25fps, while a high-speed option shoots at over 100fps, which makes it a great option for lunar and solar imaging.
When we combined it with our short focal length refractor, we were able to achieve a wide field of view, giving us a great capture of the Rosette Nebula. The star cluster at the core of the nebula was clearly visible in the ‘Live View’ screen.
A short exposure at a high ISO revealed faint nebulosity. Lowering the ISO to 3200 and capturing a 30-second exposure resulted in a clean image with clear detail and low noise.
We used a wide-angle lens to photograph the Milky Way and found the EOS R6 really excelled here, achieving a beautiful wide field of view.
Key specs
Sensor: 35.9mm x 23.9mm, 20MP full frame CMOS
ISOrange: 100–102400, expandable to 204800
LiveView: Magnify image by 5x and 10x for manual focusing
Highframerate: Full HD at 100fps
Bodysize: 138.4mm x 97.5mm x 88.4mm
Weight: 680g (without a lens)

One of the best cameras for astrophotography is the one that you’ll use most often, to paraphrase a famous astronomy idiom about choosing telescopes.
Smartphones can perform entry-level astrophotography, while some offer the ability to take long exposures, meaning you can pick up Milky Way details or star trails.
You can also hold smartphones up to a telescope eyepiece to take pictures, or use a smartphone adaptor (more on this below).
This enables lunar and planetary imaging, but it’s difficult to get sharp images.

Although some smartphones have multiple cameras installed, these are tricky to line up to eyepieces.
In a nutshell, smartphones are not dedicated astrophotography products and don’t offer the exposure control of a DSLR camera.
Best suited for Star trails, Milky Way and general wide-field imaging
Limitations Deep-sky photography
Ideal accessories Tripod, telescope adaptor
DSLR cameras
Canon EOS M100 DSLR camera
DSLRs (Digital single-lens reflex cameras) are good all-rounders, and for that reason are among the best cameras for astrophotography.
Because you can alter the ISO level and manage exposure lengths, these cameras are easily adapted for many astronomy targets.
Increasing the ISO setting ensures a DSLR can pick up details from deep-sky objects, including nebulae.
But if this is coupled with a long exposure time there can be an issue with noise (unwanted artefacts) creeping in.
This might be because the ISO is too high (the best ISO varies between cameras) or because the exposure time is causing the sensor to warm up.

DSLRs with ‘Live View’ or video capability can be used for planetary imaging, although they’re less efficient at cutting through atmospheric distortion than a planetary camera.

Planetary imaging requires a telescope and you’ll find that reflectors are most suitable because of their long focal lengths.
If a planetary camera is also coupled with a 2x Barlow lens you’ll be able to achieve the magnification required for planetary detail.
While the camera’s high frame rate will allow you to cut through atmospheric turbulence.
You’ll require a laptop to run these cameras and, as you’re viewing an object up close, a solid tracking telescope mount is also needed.
This allows you to keep the planet central in the field of view.

When it comes to deep-sky imaging, planetary cameras have small sensors, which means they’re not always suited.
It’s also possible to modify an off-the-shelf webcam for planetary imaging, so that it fits into the eyepiece holder of your telescope (see below for more details).

CMOS and CCDs are ‘dedicated astrocams’ designed to be fitted to a telescope, so they certainly fall under the category of best cameras for astrophotography.
Each comes in ‘colour’ – for RGB (Red, Green and Blue) imaging – or ‘mono’ variants. Mono cameras require the use of colour or narrowband filters.
CCD (charge-coupled device) cameras are suited for long-exposure astrophotography (10-plus minutes per frame).
This is because they have ‘set-point’ cooling systems that keep the sensor temperature constant, which is known as ‘active’ camera cooling.
CMOS sensors perform better with shorter exposures and come as either actively or ‘passively’ cooled.

Laptops are needed to run either device.
To maximise CCD exposure times, additional accessories – including guiding equipment and software – are often required.
Using these cameras can be a steep learning curve, so it’s best to build up to it gradually.
There are adaptors available that fit these ‘astro cams’ to DSLR camera lenses, which allows you to use them for wide-field deep-sky imaging.
Accessories Laptop, telescope, guide equipment and software
Connecting a camera to your telescope
On a low budget? One of the best cameras for astrophotography could be your smartphone, when attached to a telescope eyepice.
You can go far with astrophotography by using a DSLR and lenses, but for a deep-sky object or planetary photography the addition of a telescope to your setup will widen your options. Your target will appear larger, allowing more detail.
Smartphones can be fitted to a telescope eyepiece holder via an adaptor: you just need the right one for your model. If you fancy making your own, read our DIY guide to making a smartphone adaptor for your telescope.
To attach a DSLR you will need a T-ring and nosepiece. The T-ring fits to the camera like a lens.
For example, if you are using a Canon DSLR, you’ll need a Canon-fit T ring.
The nosepiece is either 2-inch or 1.25-inch and you’ll find that most telescopes take either diameter.
If you are using a webcam, you’ll need to consider modifying it to fit to the scope’s eyepiece holder.
This often involves stripping the webcam down to rehouse it in suitable casing. How difficult and effective this is will depend on the model.
If you are using a 2x or 3x Barlow lens and a reflector, you’ll pop the Barlow into the eyepiece barrel before attaching your webcam.
Designated planetary cameras, CCD and CMOS devices, come with a nosepiece attachment that fits to your scope.
