ToupTek G3M678C - Planetary camera & color guidance (STARVIS 2)<\/h2>\n

Visit ToupTek G3M678C<\/strong> is a camera planetary<\/em> andself-steering<\/strong> color<\/strong> sensor-based Sony IMX678<\/strong> 1\/1.8\u2033 format (technology STARVIS 2<\/strong>). With 8.3 MP (3840 \u00d7 2160)<\/strong>and 2.0 \u00b5m pixels<\/strong>a 12-bit ADC<\/strong> and theUSB 3.0 Type-C<\/strong>it offers high cadences<\/strong>a very low read noise<\/strong> and excellent sensitivity, especially in the near-infrared, for the Moon, planets, the Sun (suitable filters) and precise guidance via ST-4<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
