A groundbreaking camera designed for astronomers who refuse to compromise on quality. At the heart of this cutting-edge device lies the IMX678 monochrome sensor, renowned for its extraordinary sensitivity and performance across visible and near-infrared light spectrums. The IMX678 sensor can be considered an improved version of its predecessor, the IMX178 sensor. The GP678M is engineered to take your planetary imaging, solar, and lunar astrophotography to the next level. This is also an amazing camera for autoguiding. This powerhouse delivers an impressive 8.3MP resolution at 3840x2160 pixels, with a pixel size of just 2µm, ensuring every celestial object is captured with the utmost precision and detail. Exceptional Low-Light Performance: Designed to thrive in low-light conditions, the back-illuminated structure and advanced pixel technology minimize readout noise while maximizing sensitivity. Capture the faintest nebulae and distant galaxies with clarity that has to be seen to be believed. STARVIS 2 Technology: Equipped with advanced imaging technology, the GP678M offers superior sensitivity, lower readout noise, and virtually zero amp glow. This technology ensures that even the subtlest details are captured with incredible clarity, making it ideal for deep-sky photography and challenging planetary imaging. High-Speed USB 3.0 & 512MB DDR3 Memory: This camera guarantees smooth, stable, and rapid data transmission with a USB 3.0 interface and an integrated 512MB DDR3 cache. Thanks to this powerful combination, say goodbye to frame dropping and glow effects during long exposures. Advanced Cooling System: The GP678M features a sophisticated cooling system to effectively dissipate heat, ensuring consistent performance and reduced noise for long-duration captures. This makes it ideally suited for extended astrophotography sessions and capturing the dynamic beauty of the universe. Versatile and User-Friendly: Whether you're guiding or capturing breathtaking celestial shots, this camera's intuitive design and versatile connectivity make it a breeze to use. Supported across multiple operating systems (Windows, Linux, and Mac), the GP678M is the perfect companion for every astrophotography enthusiast.
