The GP678C ushers in a new era of color astrophotography. Featuring the advanced Sony IMX678 color sensor, this camera is as versatile as it is powerful. Its compact and robust build makes it a perfect fit for a wide range of telescopes and setups, from backyard observatories to portable field kits. From planetary use to deep sky astrophotography and tracking. This is a great tool for your journey into the cosmos.
The IMX678 sensor used in this camera is an improved version of its predecessor, the popular IMX178 sensor.
OGMA GP678C Key Features:
Exceptional Color for Planetary Imaging:
The GP678C excels in planetary imaging, capturing the intricate details and hues of planetary surfaces and atmospheric phenomena.
Great for guiding:
Even though this is a color camera, its high sensitivity and low readout noise make it an excellent choice for guiding, providing accurate and reliable tracking for deep-sky imaging, and allowing you to use it for other purposes.
Capable of Deep Sky Imaging:
The large 1/1.8" Sony IMX678 sensor is not just for planets; its size and high resolution of 8.29 megapixels (3840x2160) make it usable for deep sky astrophotography. Thanks to the sensor's large full-well capacity, high dynamic range, and the camera's sophisticated image processing capabilities, you can capture the sprawling beauty of nebulae, galaxies, and star clusters in rich, authentic colors.
Advanced Technology for Superior Performance:
Incorporating Sony's latest STARVIS 2 technology, the GP678C offers exceptional performance in low-light conditions, ensuring that even the faintest celestial objects are rendered with clarity and depth. The camera's back-illuminated sensor structure enhances its sensitivity further, especially in the near-infrared spectrum, enabling detailed imaging even under challenging light conditions.
Smooth and Stable Data Transmission:
The camera is equipped with a high-speed USB 3.0 interface and a generous 512MB DDR3 cache, ensuring fast, efficient, and stable data transfer. This setup minimizes frame dropping and maximizes the effectiveness of long exposures, making your astrophotography sessions more productive and enjoyable.
