Visit ToupTek GPCMOS02000KPA<\/strong> is a color camera in 1,25\u2033<\/strong> originally designed for the\u2019self-steering<\/strong>, but versatile enough to also be used in planetary\/lunar imaging<\/strong> and for capturing brilliant deep-sky objects (open clusters, luminous nebulae, short exposures).<\/p>\n Its strong point is balance: a highly sensitive sensor, ultra-compact size, broad compatibility (Windows \/ macOS \/ Linux), and above all the presence of a ST-4 port<\/strong> integrated to directly guide a mount. In practice, this is typically the camera that is slid like an eyepiece into a guide telescope, a guide finder, or a guide mount. OAG<\/strong> (Off-Axis Guider) when you want a reliable, lightweight solution that's easy to implement.<\/p>\n The GPCMOS02000KPA is based on a Sony IMX290 CMOS sensor<\/strong> (optical format 1\/2,8\u2033<\/strong>) whose reputation is well established in the guiding and planetary arenas. They include :<\/p>\n As a result, you gain in acquisition comfort (faster star detection), and guidance becomes smoother, especially on compact setups where you don't want to multiply constraints.<\/p>\n The camera features a USB 2.0<\/strong> for the acquisition of a ST-4 port<\/strong> for \u201cdirect mount\u201d guidance. This allows two approaches:<\/p>\n The announced rate (up to 18 fps<\/strong> at full resolution) is also interesting: in planetary\/lunar mode, you can edit a usable video stream; in guiding mode, you can adjust the frame rate to optimize responsiveness to turbulence.<\/p>\n The GPCMOS02000KPA is designed to be easy to integrate<\/strong> in an optical train. It offers:<\/p>\n In concrete terms, it's a camera that takes the hassle out of mounting, focusing and guiding. Its small size and featherweight also limit stress on the eyepiece holder and clamping rings, especially on small guide glasses.<\/p>\n In addition to guidance, the GPCMOS02000KPA can also be used for imaging:<\/p>\n The camera incorporates an input window described as UV\/IR cut filter<\/strong>, This helps to avoid some of the focusing problems and \u201cbloat\u201d on stars with certain optics.<\/p>\n The announced compatibility with Windows, macOS and Linux<\/strong> is an important point: whether you're in a nomadic setup (Windows PC), a Mac environment, or an observatory with a Linux mini-PC (INDI\/Ekos), the camera integrates easily into a modern astro ecosystem.<\/p>\n In a typical flow, you can :<\/p>\n If you have any doubts about mechanical compatibility (OAG, draw, rings, etc.), don't hesitate to ask us: we can check the assembly together and optimize the optical train to avoid unpleasant surprises.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Cam\u00e9ra ToupTek GPCMOS02000KPA (IMX290 coleur) La ToupTek GPCMOS02000KPA est une cam\u00e9ra couleur au format 1,25″ pens\u00e9e \u00e0 l\u2019origine pour l\u2019autoguidage, mais suffisamment polyvalente pour servir aussi en imagerie plan\u00e9taire\/lunaire et pour capturer des objets brillants du ciel profond (amas ouverts, n\u00e9buleuses lumineuses, poses courtes).
