ToupTek G3CMOS02300KMC USB3.0 Cooled CMOS Camera 

G3CMOS’ Basic Characteristics 

G3CMOS series 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 serie. 

G3CMOS series hardware resolutions range from 2.3M to 21M and come with the integrated CNC aluminum alloy compact housing. 

G3CMOS series comes with advanced video & image processing application (ToupSky for astronomy application) which providing Windows/Linux/macOS/Android multiple platform SDK(Native C/C++, C#/VB.NET, Python, Java, DirectShow, Twain, etc);.

The G3CMOS series family can be widely used in astronomy application. 

The basic characteristics of G3CMOS series are as follows: 

• SONY Exmor, Exmor R(Back-illuminated), Exmor RS CMOS sensor with USB3.0 interface;
• Rolling shutter or global shutter CMOS sensor; 
• Resolutions range from 2.3M to 20M; 
• Ultra-low noise and low power dissipation by using column-parallel A/D conversion; 
• External controllable fan cooling, 
• Unique internal cooling structure to help heat radiation; 
• Guiding port for mount guiding; 
• Standard M42+1.25” mount interface; 
• CNC aluminum alloy housing; 
• Real-time 8/12/14/16bit depth switch(depending on sensor); 
• Long time exposure supported up to 1000s; 
• USB3.0 5 Gbps interface ensuring high frame rates; 
• With advanced video & image processing application ToupSky; 
• Windows/Linux/macOS/Android multiple platform SDK;

Dimension of G3CMOS Series

The G3CMOS series 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-CUT 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 4 methods to connect the camera to telescope:

1. Directly with 2” telescope (not suggested);
2. Directly with M42x0.75 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;
