SolarCam 20
Introducing the MallinCam SolarCam 20 imager, the newest member of the MallinCam family of astronomical imaging video cameras. This state-of-the-art camera boasts a Sony 20 MP sensor, providing heightened sensitivity essential for observing and capturing celestial events, especially solar phenomena. Tailored for demanding astronomical solar applications, the SolarCam 20 excels in real-time observation and imaging of solar system objects, making it the most versatile video/imaging camera ever developed for computer use. It enables live observation of all solar system targets while simultaneously capturing images or recording video.
Equipped with a square megapixel ceramic CMOS sensor featuring a pixel size of 2.4μm x 2.4μm, the SolarCam 20 delivers impressive 5472 x 3648 resolution, covering a diagonal field of view of 15.86mm. The SolarCam 20 camera produces high-resolution 20 million-pixel images using various solar telescope setups. Users also have the flexibility to expand the field of view or magnification further by incorporating a optional focal reducer or Barlow, facilitating the detailed observation of vast astronomical objects. Notably, the SolarCam 20 offers "Newton Rings" Free performance on solar telescopes, both in H Alpha and White light.
With its 1-inch large target surface, the SolarCam 20 captures images with optimal clarity and detail. This professional-grade camera provides complete control through its dedicated software, offering seamless connectivity via USB3. It comes bundled with a professional USB cable featuring secure hardware attachments for outdoor use. The package includes specialized software stored on a thumb drive, a 1.25" adapter, and a high-grade USB 3 cable, ensuring a comprehensive and user-friendly experience for all astronomers.

My image at maximum eclipse. Lunt LS60Ha/PT on a SkyWatcher SolarQuest automatic solar mount with a MallinCam SolarCam 20 camera. This image isn't stacked or a composite and the only post-processing was cropping the sides off. I just captured this image during the live stream. I don't fully understand the MallinCam software for this camera yet. Exposure was set to AUTO. Histogram was set to AUTO, and then I slid the left histogram line to the right to reveal a little detail on the surface.

This little girl was hysterical. She put her nose on the monitor and stayed there for at least five minutes! I think she was expecting something to change. And things were changing, just not very fast.

How I spent the morning of October 14, 2023. I volunteered at the San Miguel branch of San Luis Obispo County Library. San Miguel is a tiny little town on Hwy-101 with a population of around 2,300. The librarian counted 115 visitors at one point, but handed out all the solar glasses he had -- 135. My wife operated our SunSpotter solar scope and I operated my live solar outreach video system. Today that was a Lunt LS60Ha/PT single-stacked with a MallinCam SolarCam 20 camera.
