Technical Specifications


Sony STARVIS 2 Technology

The G3M662C features Sony's latest STARVIS 2 technology, delivering exceptional high sensitivity with a spectral response range of 400-1000nm. This advanced sensor technology provides superior low-light performance and high dynamic range, ensuring crystal-clear celestial images even in challenging conditions.

Large Full Well Capacity Resists Overexposure

Compared to the previous-generation G3M462C, the G3M662C features significantly lower read noise and a larger full well charge capacity. This advancement effectively suppresses image overexposure, especially under low-light conditions, capturing clearer celestial images with dramatically improved image quality.


DDR3 High-Speed Buffer

Equipped with a USB 3.0 high-speed interface and 512MB DDR3 high-speed buffer, this camera significantly reduces amp-glow caused by image data buffering. The advanced buffer system ensures stable and smooth data transmission for uninterrupted imaging sessions.



Zero Amp-Glow Technology

The G3M662C achieves "zero amp-glow" at the hardware level. Whether under long exposure or high gain settings, your resulting images remain pristine and clean, free from unwanted thermal artifacts.


High-Compatibility Front-End Design

Standard Version (C-mount)

Classic C-mount design for maximum compatibility with standard accessories and telescopes.

Extended Version (CS-mount)

Longer front barrel with shorter flange focal distance, ensuring compatibility with OAGs from more brands.

Both versions accommodate 1.25-inch filters when connected to a 1.25-inch extender.



Multi-Mode Flexible Switching

The G3M662C supports HCG (High Conversion Gain), LCG (Low Conversion Gain), and HDR mode switching. Configure these modes freely based on your imaging requirements to optimize dynamic range and noise performance.
