Applications & selection
G3M2210C applications
Lunar surface imaging
4 µm pixels and 2.1 MP (1920 × 1080) resolution support detailed lunar mosaics and close-up imaging.
One-shot colour planetary imaging
The colour SC2210 sensor provides a direct RGB workflow for planets and the Moon.
High-speed solar and occultation capture
Fast acquisition supports brief events and solar imaging when the telescope uses a correctly specified solar filter.
When to choose this camera
Choose the G3M2210C when 90 fps acquisition, 4 µm sampling and the SC2210 sensor match your telescope's focal length and seeing conditions.
