Product no.: ts290CMINI
TS-Optics ToupTek G3M290C Color Camera and Autoguider - Chip D=6.46 mm
A very sensitive autoguider for astrophotography from ToupTek G3M290C, with modern Sony sensor and 1.25" body
Colror CMOS sensor IMX290 from Sony with a QE of over 80% for highest sensitivity - always find a guide star
Pixel size 2.9 µm - allowing you to guide large telescopes with small guiding scopes and to use finder guiding
Sensor size 5.6 x 3.1 mm
Practical 1.25" body - you can insert the autoguider / camera like an eyepiece into the guiding scope, finder or off axis guider.
A true lightweight with only 70 grams and not larger than a 1.25" eyepiece
Extensive scope of delivery: USB cable, ST4 autoguiding cable, C mount adapter and 1.25" extension tube
The camera can also be used as a high-grade lunar and planetary camera. Due to the high sensitive sensor even images of deep sky objects are possible.
Incl. adapter to C thread for the connection of lenses for industrial cameras
The G3M290C is a good autoguider and much more. The modern Sony IMX290 color sensor convinces with an outstanding QE of over 80%. Only a few sensors achieve this sensitivity. Another special feature is the extremely high resolution due to 2.9 µm pixels. This makes this camera very interesting for astrophotography.
You always find a guide star, even with an off-axis guider - guaranteed!
With the high resolution, you can easily guide telescopes of up to 11" aperture with a 50 mm finder - guiding with the finder becomes possible.
The practical 1.25" housing makes adaption easy. Push the camera into the 1.25" receptacle, focus and get started with guiding.
Short working distance from the front surface to the sensor - you can reach focus even with short maximum distances.
With only 70 grams weight, the focuser is almost not loaded.
Of course, ST4 cable and ST4 port are supplied. Connect the camera directly to the autoguiding port of the mount.
Highly sensitive sensor combined with high resolution for ultimate lunar and planetary photographs.
High frame rate delivers many images in a short time - material for stacking.
Camera fits any 1.25" focuser. Clamp the camera like an eyepiece, focus and start astrophotography.
The high sensitivity makes the G3M290C suitable for photographing nebulae and galaxies.
The camera is equipped with a clear glass window filter that is also transparent in the infrared. This makes exciting infrared photography possible.
Spectral sensitivity
The sensor convinces not only with high sensitivity, but also with a broad spectral range. The sensitivity stays high even deep in the infrared. This means more stars for guiding, but also the exciting field of infrared photography (Venus, Mars ...) is accessible - less influence of seeing, so sharper images!
