ToupTek GPM Series Guide Camera!
A professional color guide camera featuring the Sony IMX225 CMOS sensor, offering high sensitivity and performance in low-light conditions, perfect for planetary, solar, and lunar photography. The GPCMOS01200KPF camera possesses a 1/3-inch optical format with a 1.2 Megapixel resolution (1280 x 960) and large 3.75 µm x 3.75 µm pixels to maximize photon collection. It features a low readout noise of approximately 0.84 e⁻ alongside a 12-bit ADC for stable, clean frames. Equipped with a built-in ST4 autoguiding interface and utilizing a USB 2.0 connection, it can achieve frame rates up to 30 FPS at full resolution. This results in outstanding performance in auto-guiding setups, as well as in backyard planetary, solar, and lunar photography!
Sony IMX225 Color Sensor Technology
The GPM225C features Sony's IMX225 color back-illuminated sensor with exceptional infrared sensitivity. With read noise as low as 0.84e⁻, full well capacity of 19.2ke⁻, and dynamic range reaching 75.6dB, the GPM225C delivers outstanding performance for astronomical applications. The color sensor provides natural color reproduction while maintaining excellent sensitivity across the visible spectrum.
Built-in ST4 Autoguider Interface
The GPM225C features a built-in standard ST4 autoguider port for easy connection to the autoguider. This design simplifies guiding system configuration, reduces cable connections, and improves system reliability. Compatible with mainstream guiding software like PHD Guiding, MetaGuide, Nebulosity, MaxIm DL, and others for precise autoguiding control.
