Applications & selection

G3M2210M applications

Planetary lucky imaging

150 fps capture supports frame selection and stacking for Jupiter, Saturn, Mars and Venus.

Lunar surface imaging

4 µm pixels and 2.1 MP (1920 × 1080) resolution support detailed lunar mosaics and close-up imaging.

Narrowband and near-infrared imaging

380–1100 nm monochrome response supports filter-based seeing control and contrast enhancement.

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 G3M2210M when 150 fps acquisition, 4 µm sampling and the SC2210 sensor match your telescope's focal length and seeing conditions.
