The sensor is known for its high low-light sensitivity and directly delivers color images of the Moon, planets, and double stars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Via USB 3.0, the camera achieves up to 136 frames per second at full resolution: ideal for freezing short moments of steady seeing and stacking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/iOptron-462C-Camera-iCam.jpg\" alt=\"iOptron 462C Camera iCam\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Strong in the near-infrared<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sensitivity peaks between 800 and 850 nm.
