ToupTek GPCMOS series is Guiding Plus CMOS camera and it adopts ultra-high-performance CMOS sensor as the image-picking device. USB2.0 is used as the data transfer interface. A built-in ST4 auto guider port is designed for the easy connection of the auto guider.
Aluminum CNC housing with standard 1.25-inch interface(outer) to fit to telescope eyepiece and standard C-mount(inner) for standard industrial lens.
Native/ASCOM/WDM driver for easy connection with 3rd party astrophotography software.
The GPCMOS series can be widely used in astrophotography (Moon, Sun, Planets as well as Galaxies, Cluster and Nebulae).
Sensor | Sony IMX225 (C) | |
Diagonal | 1/3 “ | |
Image Area | 4.8 mm x 3.6 mm | |
Resolution | 1.2 MP (1280 x 960) | |
Pixel size | 3.75 µm x 3.75 µm | |
Spectral Range | 380-690nm (with IR-cut Filter) | |
Sensitivity | The sensor G sensitivity is 2040 mV with 1/30s. The sensitivity is measured with a testing standard lens with CM500S (t = 1.0 mm) as an IR-cut filter and image at F8.0. If the image is measured at F5.6, the result could have been 2 times of the current value. | |
Dark signal | 0.15 mV with 1/30s | |
Binning | 1x1, 2x2 | |
Max FPS at Resolution (USB 3.0) | 30@1280x960 | |
Connection Port | USB2.0 | |

Connector | 1.25” nosepiece |
The GPCMOS series body, made from tough, alloy, ensures a heavy duty, workhorse solution. The camera is
designed with a high-quality IR-CUT to protect the camera sensor and block the IR light. 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 the telescope:
