Description
ToupTek GPM662M Monochrome Guide Camera
A professional monochrome guide camera featuring Sony's latest IMX662 back-illuminated CMOS sensor, offering exceptionally strong infrared light capture capability, large full well capacity, high dynamic range, high sensitivity, and ultra-low readout noise for outstanding performance in planetary, solar, and lunar photography.
The GPM662M camera possesses an exceptionally strong capability to capture infrared light with high QE values at 650nm. It features a large full well capacity, high dynamic range, high sensitivity, and low readout noise among other advantages. Equipped with HCG/LCG dual gain mode switching, the minimum read noise can reach 0.4e⁻, making it one of the lowest read noise monochrome guide cameras currently available. This results in outstanding performance in planetary photography, as well as in solar and lunar photography.
Technical Advantages
The GPM662M features Sony's latest IMX662 monochrome sensor with exceptional infrared sensitivity. With read noise as low as 0.4e⁻, full well capacity of 33.8ke⁻, and dynamic range reaching 75.2dB, the GPM662M delivers outstanding performance for demanding astronomical applications. The monochrome sensor provides superior quantum efficiency and eliminates the Bayer pattern interpolation, resulting in sharper images with better detail resolution.
