TinyMOS startup introduces Tiny1 astrophotography camera

Published Oct 1, 2015 | Brittany Hillen

TinyMOS, a startup formed by National University of Singapore students, has introduced its Tiny1, a camera designed for astrophotography. The camera was introduced earlier this month at TechCrunch Disrupt 2015, and claims to be the first-ever portable consumer-level astronomy camera.

Tiny1 functions as an everyday camera, according to TinyMOS, with the same performance level as a mirrorless camera. The model includes a Point-to-the-Stars feature that offers star charts over a live preview for locating constellations and stars. Tiny1 is able to capture barely-visible celestial objects with an exposure of approximately 30 seconds, and it can record 2.5K-resolution time-lapses. The camera has a brushed aluminum chassis, but additional information about its hardware hasn't been revealed.

TinyMOS plans to launch Tiny1 in an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign next month to fund the project; those interested can subscribe for updates about the pending launch.

astrophotography using a tiny lence without a tracking platform?

Jul 4, 2016permalink

7 months late and still unimpressive... and no new photos to see.

As mentioned above the released images don't give good impressions about quality of the cam. A mid quality moonshot and bloomed starfield don't give a good impression of the quality of future images even with better lenses or scopes.
From a real astro photographer's view, there's nothing more than pixel size. What's your cams? Bad s/n ratio is a nogo for astro photography. Bad dynamics won't be improved esentialy by readout amp.
What's your pixel size? 1 µm?
Full well? 10,000 e-? 5,000e-?
Linearity?
...
And ... without moving to real dark skies (Australia?) and testing it I can't give your project any positive comment.

The fact that this is from students at the National University of Singapore makes me take notice. They are at the cutting edge of technology I believe. I'm looking forward to seeing this design and whatever they come up with in the future. Watch their space.

The lens looks like a wide field eye piece.

Oct 4, 2015permalink

Nathebeach

it kind of does. Hope it has good relief. Most wide field's do. Wonder if it will do prime focus, or is the lens fixed? I can't tell from the images if it is through lens or not.

Oct 4, 2015permalink

Nathebeach

Having worked for at a major "orange" telescope co. at the corporate level, I can say this is a good idea. The critics on this site are wearing their ignorance as a badge of honor. Anyone know if the interface is 0.96, 1.25, or 2 inch. 1.25 is the most common. Maybe they will sell adapters, or is it already using standard threads (t40? 42? been so many years I do not remember). Wonder if it uses Astro stack or if it is able to use the four k video and stack the best shots? What about cooling? Lots of non consumer cameras need to be cooled because it increases light sensivity on film and digital. Wonder if that will make its way to the consumer market?

There are lots of things this could have that would not work on today's smart phones. Trolls, please close your mouths and learn the product before criticizing.

Oct 3, 2015*permalink

TinyMOS

Hi Nathebeach, thanks for your support! The camera is designed with the CS mount in mind so that it has a short flange distance to support the maximum amount of legacy optics possible. We are building some form as basic stacking in the camera to enable the average consumer to be able to have access to good astro images off the camera. Advanced users will still have access to RAW for their preferred image post processing. Cooling is a feature that we may add in the future, possibly as an accessory for advanced users.

For more information please subscribe to www.tinymos.com/subscribe. we will be releasing more information and collecting applications for beta testers shortly.

Let's get real. Just check who's the founders of this company. One self claimed photographer, One mechanical engineering graduate and one engineering undergraduate. All they have showed so far is the shiny case. Are you guys seriously think they can make something functional at all? Really?

I think all they can reasonably do (and maybe actually going to do) is ask a Chinese company to build a tiny android device inside their box and make a star chart view program for it.

I will not judge until we see the actual product. There are extremely intelligent people out there who have ideas, and in this current world of Kickstart and other means to get funding it is a wait and see final product kind of thing.

"self claimed photographer", what a joke...

The only person who should be able to engineer a camera is a photographer chosen by GOD.

I remember being at a camera store in my town and seeing a nice camera, I heard a voice from up in the clouds (it sounded like GOD) The voice told me who ever could remove that lens cap could have that camera and BE a photographer.

Well all the customers in the shop tried to remove that lens cap, but it was stuck tight, impossible to remove.

It was my turn to try, when sudenly the clouds opened up and a ray of sunshine shone down to illuminate the me. As I tried the lens cap released and I had then BECOME the chosen one.... a photographer.

So after paying for the camera, some accessories, memory cards, a carry case, extra lens, comfortable neck strap and tripod, I was then anointed by the King, and hence forth known as THE PHOTOGRAPHER.

let's get real....

It may be a great Engineering learning project but they aren't doing themselves any favors with the images they've posted! If the camera is capable of better quality, let's see it. If not, shelf the project as a good learning undertaking and move on...

Oct 3, 2015*permalink

TinyMOS

hello bwana4swahili, thanks for your comment. We will try to improve the image quality as soon as we get a chance to. We started 18 months ago and we only started getting the engineering sample recently. As we live in Singapore, dark skies are not easily accessible to us for testing. The regional haze definitely hindered our efforts.

thanks Dan Tong for your support. We really appreciate it. We are definitely going against conventional camera design to provide a new imaging tool and experience for the everyday camera user. I think that we'll definitely face quite a bit of negative comments over our "unconventional" methods. I wouldn't suprise myself I had laughed at Nick Woodman's first concept of GoPro. As with all new technology and thinking, it is always 1 step back before we can take 2 steps forward.

The thickness of the device clearly shows the sensor is TINY and not worth anything. You can install star chart app on any smartphones everyone have so what's the point?

Actually, the mount standard we use supports up to 1" sensors. The name of the company on the other hand should indicate that we are using Tiny (C)MOS actually.

I respectfully disagree. Having taught electrical engineering, I can see the tremendous amount of lessons learned here in circuit design, board layout, schematic diagrams, microprocessor and component selection, control engineering, optics, programming, calibration, astronomy, ..., etc.

Even if the project ends here, the lessons they have learned can be applied in their future careers, and I can bet that they will be selected for employment at some major photography companies before anyone else who is without such experience.

Poor design riddled with compromises that ultimately won't do the job. Considerable investment of time and money for a completely unmarketable project.
Yes, there is a life lesson in there for sure.

Well done, some people here forget this is university students having a go at electronic engineering, manufacturing techniques, business, teamwork and product design. Probably aged around 20, they will go on to work in a variety of technical fields. No doubt a project like this will be great experience, and a good way to network with visiting engineers assisting in this project. It may lead to an awesome career, maybe designing cameras or any other item imaginable.

If any one has the time I recommend a visit to the next university open day in your city....

Oct 2, 2015permalink

fratiodan

I already posted this elsewhere, but ...So what if it's a startup from University Students, what is your point? Maybe someone should teach them ethics. This is their attempt at exploitation of the average consumer. They haven't invented anything special that a well equipped engineering student couldn't do. The average consumer wont have the patience for astrophotography even if you do point them towards the stars. This is nothing but an attempt at bragging rights for them.

*Full disclosure, I'm an engineering student too.*

Just because your idea might be loud doesn't mean it's special.

Oct 2, 2015permalink

sh10453

fratiodan,
I do not see any ethics issue here at all. I am an engineer as well, and I had taught electrical engineering after graduate school, and very well familiar with EE students' projects.

It is possible that this was a joint senior project for the students.
If they have succeeded in overlaying interactive sky maps on the camera screen, then it is not a trivial job that "any well-equipped engineering student" can do.

"Bragging rights" is very common among young college students, especially when they accomplish something like this, and that is not unethical.

I'm pretty confident that by the time they graduate, they will have plenty of offers from multiple major photography companies to work for them.

Let's be a bit humble, and also let's encourage them instead of this vicious attack on them that has been repeated twice so far.
Better yet, you should show us your accomplishments, as a well-equipped engineering student!

Simply put, just don't donate to funding their project.

rishikol

Cool thinking...... considering the fact that we only use a small part of the sensor while photographing celestial objects it is a good idea to have a high resolution high sensitivity small sensor that supports small or big lenses. I believe it will make the art of astrophotography affordable and fun..... Cheers

Oct 2, 2015permalink

TinyMOS

Thank you rishikol! Actually that was the genesis of our idea. A large sensor will require large optics to perform the same task of acquiring a small object such as the planets and the Moon. For planetary imaging the optics becomes prohibitively large. We tried imaging Saturn with a 3500mm Equivalent focal length and we barely got the rings to show. If we were using FX cameras to capture it, imagine a 3500mm lens and the corresponding lens mount for it. That would be enterprise level/varsity level equipment that will not be portable.
We are very lucky to have a high sensitivity sensor which allowed us to perform wide field imaging of the Milky Way. We should be testing the camera on M42 Great Orion Nebula in the coming month. Stay tuned and subscribe to www.tinymos.com/subscribe

Joriarty

Cool concept, but I'm not convinced why you'd buy this instead of any normal mirrorless camera. Give it a sensor without a CFA, and a built-in filter wheel, and we might be talking. Tell me why I should use this, rather than my Fuji X camera, for wide-field astrophotography...

And for deep-sky stuff (basically anything other than the Milky Way, moon, or planets), there really is no such thing as "amateur" astrophotography. You have to be seriously dedicated. It's expensive and difficult.

If this camera is the pure data capture device that it appears to be then excellent - this is the way all cameras should be designed. No in-camera processing, no ridiculous histograms, no useless articulated screens, no scene modes, no plethora of knobs and controls to get in the way - just a device that captures an image for subsequent processing using a PC. If that's what it is, I'll have one.

Can't really see the benefit of this over a dslr. Now, if it had active cooling I may have taken it more seriously. I think they are trying to invent something that doesnt need inventing. I suppose the sky chart overlay is a cool feature, but would still have doubts about implementation and accuracy.

Oh, and the milkyway photo could have been taken with a better lens...atrocious lens aberration.

Oct 1, 2015*permalink

TinyMOS

Hi CheersUK! Active cooling might be something we add as an accessory in the future. For now the camera is designed more for wide field, planetary, lunar and solar imaging. The target objects would not benefit greatly from cooling but should benefit immensely from high FPS imaging. That is where we are heading towards at the moment. Regarding the wide field lens, we are designing our own optics in the future. Think of the test lens as a kit lens for now.

Cheers,

"with the same performance level as a mirrorless camera"

What they don't say is how big the sensor is in that mirrorless camera they are comparing it to. My guess is that they are comparing it to a 1/3 inch sensor.

Here is my advice on Astrophotography. If someone is trying to sell you a DSO astrophotography camera then simply ask them “How big is the sensor” and “How long can it expose for”. If they don’t say the sensor is at least 1” diagonal and the exposures can go for at least 2 minutes then just keep moving along.

Star trails are not DSO astrophotography(Deep Space Objects). Any camera can take a star trail. Very few can see Deep Space Objects.

Review: Peak Design Everyday Sling 10L, a solid but pricey pack

The Everyday Sling might just be the perfect pack for not carrying too much gear, combining comfort with Peak Design's signature modern style.

When the Fujifilm X-T2 arrived, it was more than just a modest upgrade to the already impressive X-T1. While the new X-T3 hasn't changed the overall design of the camera, this model is way more than an upgrade; rather, it's a quantum leap.

The Movie Maker is a compact, motorized slider designed for phones, action cams and small mirrorless cameras. We think it's a fun little kit and a good value proposition for the cost, provided you can work around a few of its weak points.
