Aries 1517 Vacuum Cooled Large Format sCMOS Camera

The Aries 1517 is a new‑generation large BSI sCMOS astronomical camera developed by Tucsen using vacuum cooling technology. Compared with conventional CCD cameras, it offers a more compact, lightweight design and lower power consumption to meet key astronomical imaging requirements, including wide field of view, high dynamic range, and long‑exposure, while greatly simplifying system integration.
