OGMA GP662C Guide/Planetary Color Astronomy Camera with Sony IMX662 Sensor
The OGMA GP662C is an excellent and affordable multipurpose astronomy camera. Built around the acclaimed Sony IMX662 sensor, it can take detail-rich planetary images and is sensible enough to be used for autoguiding despite being a color camera.
The Sony IMX662 sensor can be considered an upgrade over its predecessor, the IMX462.
Key Features
Optimized Sensor for Planetary Details:
With its 1/2.8" color sensor and a high resolution of 1920x1080 (2.1MP), the GP662C excels in planetary imaging. The sensor's 2.9µm pixel size and full well capacity of 38.5ke are meticulously optimized to capture the planetary surface's subtle details and colors, ensuring each image bursts with clarity and depth.
Exceptional Sensitivity for Autoguiding:
Leveraging Sony's advanced STARVIS 2 technology, the back-illuminated CMOS sensor provides extraordinary sensitivity to near-infrared (NIR) light, making the GP662C an ideal choice for autoguiding. Its high sensibility ensures accurate tracking of celestial objects, enhancing the quality of long-exposure astrophotography by maintaining precise alignment.
Barrel Design and High-Speed USB 3.0 Interface:
The GP662C's unique long barrel shape is aesthetically pleasing and engineered for optimal thermal management and easy integration with various telescope setups. Combined with the USB 3.0 interface, it supports rapid data transfer speeds up to 107FPS at 1920x1080 in RAW8 mode, which is critical for planetary imaging.
Advanced Thermal Management:
The camera's passive cooling system is designed to manage heat and efficiently reduce noise without external cooling mechanisms. This stability is crucial for high-resolution planetary imaging and reliable autoguiding, ensuring consistent performance throughout observation sessions.
Durable and Versatile:
Constructed to meet the demands of both amateur and professional astronomers, the GP662C's robust build quality ensures durability against the elements. At the same time, its universal M42 mount provides compatibility with a broad range of telescopes and accessories.
