Description
G3CMOS camera is an Astronomy camera that adopts SONY Exmor, Exmor R and Exmor RS CMOS sensor as the image-picking device and USB3.0 is used as the data transfer interface. High sensitivity and low noise to achieve the CCD quality image is the most well-known advantages of G3CMOS series cameras.
G3CMOS camera’s hardware resolutions range from 2.3M to 21M and come with the integrated CNC aluminum alloy compact housing.
G3CMOS camera comes with advanced video & image processing application (ToupSky for astronomy application) which providing Windows/Linux/macOS/Android multiple platform SDK(Native C/C++, C#/VB.NET, Python, Java, DirectShow, Twain, etc);
The G3CMOS camera family can be widely used in astronomy application.

Dimension of G3CMOS
The G3CMOS body, made from tough, CNC aluminum alloy, ensures a heavy duty, workhorse solution. The camera is designed with a high-quality cover glass to protect the camera sensor(IR-cutter filter is an optional). No moving parts included. These measures ensure a rugged, robust solution with an increased lifespan when compared to other industrial camera solutions.
Dimension of G3CMOS
There are 2 methods to connect the camera to telescope:
- Directly with 2” telescope (not suggested);
- Directly with M42x0.75 male thread telescope;
- “G3CMOS +M42x0.75 to 1.25” adapter” and 1.25” telescope;
- “G3CMOS +M42x0.75 to 2” adapter” and 2” telescope;
