Sony IMX290 Color Sensor Technology
The GPCMOS02000KPA features a 2 MP CMOS sensor designed for reliable autoguiding and astronomical imaging. Its sensitive imaging performance enables dependable guide-star detection for precise telescope tracking, while the compact sensor format makes it well suited for use with off-axis guiders and traditional guide scopes.


Peak Performance
The GPCMOS02000KPA features a Sony IMX290 color CMOS sensor with 1920 × 1080 resolution and 2.9 μm pixels. With >81% peak QE, 0.84–0.53e⁻ read noise, 11.2ke⁻ full well capacity, and 82 dB dynamic range, it provides excellent sensitivity and low-noise performance for reliable autoguiding and astronomical imaging.


Built-in ST4 Autoguider Interface
The GPM series 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.


Comprehensive Connection Options
The GPM series cameras offer versatile connection options designed for seamless integration with various telescope setups and guiding systems. The diagram below illustrates the complete connection architecture, showing how the camera interfaces with your mount, computer, and other astronomical equipment for optimal guiding performance.
