The ToupTek G3M662C Colour Planetary Camera is a specialized astrophotography camera meticulously engineered to capture breathtaking high-resolution planetary images. Boasting a compact and versatile 1.25" barrel size, this camera seamlessly integrates with a wide range of telescope setups, offering unparalleled flexibility in your imaging pursuits.

At the heart of the IMX662C lies the cutting-edge Sony IMX662C CMOS sensor, a true powerhouse of modern imaging technology. This back-illuminated sensor boasts an impressive quantum efficiency exceeding 91%, ensuring that every precious photon of light is captured and converted into remarkable image quality. Furthermore, the sensor's remarkably low read noise of just 0.46e- translates to exceptionally clean and noise-free images, allowing you to discern even the finest details on celestial bodies.

One of the standout features of the IMX662C is its large 2.9µm pixel size. This larger pixel pitch not only enhances the sensor's light-gathering capabilities but also enables exceptional performance across a wide range of telescope focal lengths, making the IMX662C a versatile choice for planetary imaging enthusiasts.

Beyond its impressive imaging capabilities, the IMX662C also boasts excellent near-infrared (NIR) sensitivity. This unique characteristic opens up the possibility of employing IR-pass filters, enabling you to cut through atmospheric turbulence and reveal even finer surface details on planets, moons, and other celestial wonders.

Versatility is a hallmark of this camera, as it offers both USB 3.0 connectivity and a traditional ST-4 autoguiding interface. The high-speed USB 3.0 connection allows for an astonishing 152 frames per second (FPS) capture rate at the full resolution, ensuring you never miss a fleeting moment during your imaging sessions. Additionally, the built-in 512MB DDR3 memory ensures reliable and uninterrupted video capture sequences, even at these blistering framerates.

To further enhance its usability, the IMX662C features a 1.25" barrel design, making it compatible with most off-axis guiders (OAG not included). This design choice streamlines the imaging process, allowing for seamless integration with existing astrophotography setups and enabling precise guiding for exceptional tracking accuracy.
