A camera that is able to recognize the stars

I have been looking in online stores but didn't find any. Can you guys help me out? I want to record the night sky and speed up the video, but so far I have not had much success in finding any. Also, my budget is around 200-300 Euro, are there any good ones in this category? They can also be on USB.

Conversion from typical image formats to .fits

Longshot post here! I am attempting to utilize [ProFound](https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/ProFound/index.html), an R library, to analyze video data I have produced. These programs only read .fits files, which are apparently common in the field of astronomy. The programs fail to read images converted from .png to .fits using online converters, GIMP, and the R-library *imager*. Unsure what I am missing. Anyone have any experience with this? Thanks!
