Thousands of frames, and only the sharpest kept · review
FIBONAX's NOVA8M: an 8 MP 1.25-inch electronic eyepiece camera with 4K and high-frame-rate 1080p video, UVC viewing on Windows, macOS and Linux, an optional ASCOM driver, a removable IR-cut filter and a 110 g CNC aluminum body.
The NOVA8M replaces an eyepiece in a 1.25-inch focuser and streams video to a computer. It records 4K and high-frame-rate 1080p from an 8 MP sensor, for the Moon and bright planets.
It works as a standard UVC camera on Windows, macOS and Linux, with no dedicated driver. For Windows astronomy programs, FIBONAX offers an optional ASCOM driver, which needs the ASCOM Platform installed.
FIBONAX says the camera does not autofocus, that the telescope must have enough focuser travel, that you should start on the Moon, and that it is designed for lunar and planetary imaging rather than long-exposure deep sky. That is the advice a buyer needs.
A CNC aluminum housing of about 110 g, an M28.5 × 0.6 filter thread and a removable IR-cut filter.

FIBONAX warns that fitting a 1.25-inch focuser does not guarantee focus: the telescope needs enough travel. Start on the Moon, and a short extension or Barlow may help.
It blocks infrared light that color sensors pick up, which otherwise softens the image and skews color. It is removable for infrared work.
FIBONAX says it is designed primarily for lunar and planetary imaging, not long-exposure deep-sky photography.
7.2/ 10
A competent little planetary camera with an unusually honest listing about focus and deep-sky limits.
