The Altair GPCAM3 462C has the highest NIR sensitivity of any planetary camera in the range, as well as extremely high sensitivity at 500nm green wavelengths.
This makes it an extremely capable planetary imaging, guiding or deep-sky video astronomy camera.
The full well capacity, high dynamic range, high sensitivity, and low readout noise are characteristic of the latest CMOS technology.
Included software: The well featured intuitive AltairCapture software is included in a CD ROM, and can also be downloaded from www.altairastro.help. AltairCapture is a stable 64 bit Windows application, which allows full control of the camera in high speed video or still mode. It includes extensive automation features, and supports all the major file formats useful for astro imaging and professional scientific imaging in 14bit or 8bit mode.
Autoguiding: The camera has an ST4 auto-guiding port, and can be used to auto-guide with mounts from all the major manufacturers supporting ST4 format, including iOptron, Celestron and Skywatcher. The sensor is more than sensitive enough for autoguiding.
