Canon Aims for the Night Skies with EOS Ra Camera Optimized for Astrophotography; More Info at B&H
Photography News: A legacy of Canon's long history of digital cameras is the development of models designed for deep sky and night photography. The EOS Ra is the latest in that line and is this company's first full-frame mirrorless to join this exclusive group.
NEW YORK, Nov. 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- B&H Photo would like to share the announcement of the Canon EOS Ra Mirrorless Camera. Optimized for deep sky and night sky photography, this full-frame camera has increased sensitivity to hydrogen-alpha (Hα) rays (656 nm) due to the use of a modified filter in front of the 30.3MP CMOS sensor. By using this filter, photographers should be able to capture more vivid, deep-red hues of nebulae. Another special function available in the Ra is a higher maximum magnification in Live View of 30x for precise examination of images to guarantee ideal focus.
