G3CMOS 8.3m Astronomy Color USB3.0 CMOS Telescope Guiding Camera

Basic Info.

Product Description

G3CMOS' Basic Characteristic

G3CMOS camera is an Astronomy camera that adopts SONY Exmor, Exmor R and Exmor RS CMOS sensor as the image-picking device and USB3.0 is used as the data transfer interface. High sensitivity and low noise to achieve the CCD quality image is the most well-known advantages of G3CMOS series cameras.

G3CMOS camera's hardware resolutions range from 2.3M to 20M and come with the integrated CNC aluminum alloy compact housing.

G3CMOS camera comes with advanced video & image processing application (for astronomy application); which providing Windows/Linux/ OSX multiple platforms SDK and Native C/C++, C#/VB. NET, DirectShow, Twain Control API;

The G3CMOS camera family can be widely used in astronomy application due to their outstanding performance.

The G3CMOS ' basic characteristic of G3CMOS camera is as follows:

l SONY Exmor, Exmor R(Back-illuminated), Exmor RS CMOS sensor with USB3.0 interface;

l Super high sensitivity;

l Ultra low noise and low power dissipation by using column-parallel A/D conversion;

l Rolling shutter or global shutter CMOS sensor;

l Resolutions range from 2.3M to 20M;

l External fan cooling, controllable;

l Unique internal cooling structure to help heat radiation;

l Guiding port for mount guiding;

l Standard M42+1.25" mount camera;

l CNC aluminum alloy housing;

l Real-time 8/12/14/16bit depth switch(depending on sensor);

l Long time exposure supported up to 1000s;

l USB3.0 5 Gbps interface ensuring high frame rates;

l With advanced video & image processing application;

l Providing Windows/Linux/Mac OS multiple platforms SDK;

l Native C/C++, C#/VB. NET/VB. Net, DirectShow, Twain, LabView;

Dimension of G3CMOS

The G3CMOS body, made from tough, CNC aluminum alloy, ensures a heavy duty, workhorse solution. The camera is designed with a high quality cover glass to protect the camera sensor(IR-cutter filter is an optional). No moving parts included. These measures ensure a rugged, robust solution with an increased lifespan when compared to other industrial camera solutions.

There are 2 methods to connect the camera to telescope:

1. Directly with 2" telescope (not suggested);

2. Directly withM42x0.75 male thread telescope;

3. "G3CMOS +M42x0.75 to 1.25" adapter" and 1.25" telescope;

4. "G3CMOS +M42x0.75 to 2" adapter" and 2" telescope ;
