Applications & selection

G3M662M applications

Planetary lucky imaging

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

Lunar surface imaging

2.9 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 G3M662M when 107 fps acquisition, 2.9 µm sampling and the IMX662 sensor match your telescope's focal length and seeing conditions.
