Altair GPCAM3 290C USB3 Color Camera and Guiding Cam

The Altair GPCAM2 290C Colour camera has the sought after Sony Exmor IMX290 CMOS sensor, with high sensitivity, and extremely low read noise.

It can be used for solar, planetary, lunar “lucky” imaging as well as long exposure deepsky imaging, and of course video astronomy. Time-lapse all-sky imaging (with optional meteor lens) is fully supported in the software. Amp glow is very well suppressed making this sensor a particularly good choice for deepsky imaging or video astronomy.

The SONY Exmor IMX290 Color CMOS sensor has very low read noise, with 2.9 micrometer pixels and a large 1920x1080 array giving 2.07 megapixels. It is also BSI, or backside illuminated and carries the STARVIS rating.

Data is transmitted via USB3, so the camera is useable for older PCs/laptops without restrictions.

The casing has an external heatsink surface, which dissipates heat generated by the electronics, reducing thermal noise.

The USB3.0 connector is the high strength type.

The camera comes with a 12-month license for the SharpCap PRO software, the download is managed by the correspondent support page of the manufacturer.
