TOUPTEK IMX678M PLANETARY CAMERA [MONO]

The ToupTek IMX678M Planetary Mono is a 1.25" barrel size planetary camera using the Sony IMX678M CMOS sensor. With a quantum efficiency of >83%, read noise as low as 0.42e- and 2.0µm pixels, the IMX678M is an excellent camera for high resolution lunar and solar imaging with shorter focal length telescopes.

The IMX678M's back-illuminated sensor has a large resolution of 8.3 megapixels, QE up to 83% and very good NIR sensitivity, making it possible to use IR-pass filters to cut through the atmosphere and bring out finer details.

The IMX678M 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 IMX678M can reach a fast 47FPS at its full 8.3MP 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).
