ToupTek G3M678M - Planetary camera & monochrome guidance (STARVIS 2)<\/h2>\n

Visit ToupTek G3M678M<\/strong> is a USB 3.0 planetary camera<\/strong> ultra-sensitive sensor-based Sony IMX678M<\/strong> (technology STARVIS 2<\/strong>1\/1.8\u2033 format). With 8.3 MP (3840 \u00d7 2160)<\/strong> and 2.0 \u00b5m pixels<\/strong>it delivers high speeds and a high extremely low read noise<\/strong> for the Moon, planets, Sun (with appropriate filters) and theself-steering<\/strong> precise via ST-4<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
