ToupTek G3M462C - Planetary camera & color autoguider (IMX462, USB 3.0)

Visit ToupTek G3M462C is a camera planetary/guidance color 1.25″ format based on backlit sensor Sony IMX462 (1/2.8″), renowned for its extremely high sensitivity - including in the near infrared. Thanks to theUSB 3.0 Type-Cat 512 MB DDR3 buffer and a very low read noiseIt delivers high frame rates and great stability for the Moon, planets, the Sun (with suitable filters) and the sky.self-steering via ST-4.

Highlights

Sensor : Sony IMX462 colorBSI, 1/2.8″ (5.57 × 3.13 mm) format.
Resolution : 1920 × 1080 (≈ 2.1 MP) - pixels 2.9 µm.
USB 3.0 Type-C - 512 MB DDR3 buffer fast, reliable flow.
12-bit ADC, Hardware ROI, binning numeric 1×1 → 8×8.
Playback noise very low (≈ 0.76 → 2.4 e- depending on gain) - full-well ≈ 12.7 ke-.
Speed up to ~130-140 fps 8-bit (full sensor) - ~65-70 fps in 12 bits.
Integrated ST-4 for autosteering - excellent IR-pass and CH sensitivity₄.
1.25″ mounting (M28.5×0.6) + adapters C/CS - IR-cut/AR window depending on version.
