Hello,
this seems really interesting.
I do work with cameras and astronomy.
You can see my work here :
I mainly work with astronomy planetary camera (for now Sony IMX178 colour sensor) and i will look for a new camera by the end of the year (IMX294, IMX462 or IMX482 sensor).
My software works quite well and brings some interesting improvements with very low light conditions (using Jetson Nano or Jetson Xavier NX).
Would you be interested in sending me e-CAM50_CUNX for testing ? I could make some tests and if averything is fine, i could provide my software (special version for your camera). There is obligation, i have my own equipment and i can make some interesting work with it (i think AR0521 is not really better than IMX178).
If you are interested with my proposal, i would also need a very wide open and good quality CS lens (low focal but not too low; i don’t need a real fisheye).
Something else : would you consider IMX462 sensor ? I think it is quite good sensor and it could bring some interesting results. IMX482 is more interesting but could be a bit more expensive.
Have a nice day
Alain
