ToupTek G3M462M - Planetary camera & monochrome autoguider (IMX462, USB 3.0)

Visit ToupTek G3M462M is a camera planetary/guidance monochrome 1.25″ format based on backlit sensor Sony IMX462 (1/2.8″), renowned for its very high sensitivity, particularly in the near infrared. Thanks to theUSB 3.0 Type-Cat 512 MB DDR3 buffer and a extremely low read noiseIt offers high frame rates and reliability for the Moon, planets, the Sun (with appropriate filters) and the sky.self-steering via ST-4.

Highlights

  • Sensor : Sony IMX462 monoBSI, 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 stable flow at high output.
  • 12-bit ADC, Hardware ROI, digital binning 1×1 → 8×8.
  • Playback noise type. ~0,76 → 2,6 e- depending on the 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 autoguiding - excellent near-IR sensitivity (CH4IR-pass).
  • 1.25″ mounting (M28.5×0.6) + adapters C/CS - AR window.
