The ToupTek IMX224C Planetary Colour is a 1.25" barrel size planetary camera using the Sony IMX224 CMOS sensor. With a quantum efficiency of >75%, read noise as low as 0.84e- and 3.75µm pixels, the IMX224C is an excellent entry-level camera for high resolution planetary imaging.
The IMX224C's back-illuminated sensor has QE up to 75% and very good NIR sensitivity, making it possible to use IR-pass filters to cut through the atmosphere and bring out finer details.
The IMX224C is equipped with USB 3.0 connectivity as well as a traditional ST-4 autoguiding interface. Thanks to the high transmission speed of USB 3, the IMX224C can reach an incredibly fast 150FPS at full resolution. The built-in 512MB DDR3 memory ensures reliability over long sequences of high framerate video capture. Its 1.25" barrel design also makes it straightforward to use with most off-axis guiders (OAG not included).
