The G3M715C has the Sony IMX715 sensor of 1\/2.8 inch with 3840 x 2160 pixels at just 1.45 micrometers. Thanks to those small pixels, you often don't need a Barlow lens on telescopes around f\/7 to f\/10 to get planets in the frame large enough. That saves a lot of glass in the light path.<\/p>\n
The read noise starts at 0.57 electrons and the sensor is sensitive in the near-infrared range, useful with an IR pass filter of 850 nm or a methane filter. USB 3.0 and 512 MB DDR3 buffer ensure a stable transmission, and with a small cutout (ROI) the image speed goes up significantly.<\/p>\n
The camera has a C-mount connection and comes with a 1.25 inch barrel.<\/p>\n
The camera works with ToupSky, SharpCap, FireCapture and N.I.N.A. Note: The ZWO ASIAIR only supports ZWO cameras; with the ToupTek StellaVita you can still work wirelessly.<\/p>\n
Hello<\/strong> who is looking for an affordable first planetary camera for the moon, the sun (with a good solar filter) and planets.<\/p>\n Not<\/strong> Anyone who wants to photograph deep-sky objects; the small sensor and pixels are not designed for that purpose.<\/p>\n Planetary camera with a Sony IMX715 sensor: 4K resolution and pixels of 1.45 micrometers. On many telescopes you do not need a Barlow lens.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":114466,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[3365],"product_cat":[530,469,3094,56],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-114471","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_brand-touptek","product_cat-astro-cameras","product_cat-astro-fotografie","product_cat-kleurcameras-voor-astrofotografie","product_cat-telescoop-accessoires","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"bundled_by":[],"bundle_stock_status":"instock","bundle_stock_quantity":null,"bundle_virtual":false,"bundle_layout":"","bundle_add_to_cart_form_location":"","bundle_editable_in_cart":false,"bundle_sold_individually_context":"","bundle_item_grouping":"","bundle_min_size":"","bundle_max_size":"","bundle_price":[],"bundled_items":[],"bundle_sell_ids":[],"acf":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":114465,"url":"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/en\/touptek-g3m678c-planeetcamera-imx678\/","url_meta":{"origin":114471,"position":0},"title":"ToupTek G3M678C planetary camera IMX678","author":"Info telescoop","date":"22-10-2026","format":false,"excerpt":"Planet camera with Sony IMX678 STARVIS 2 sensor: 8.3 MP, 2.0 micrometer pixels and USB 3.0.
