Technical Specifications

Sony STARVIS 2 Technology

The G3M662M features Sony's latest STARVIS 2 technology with a monochrome sensor, 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 G3M662M 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.

Full Well Capacity Comparison

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.

G3M662M Small fast camera

I took the 662M as complement to the ATR585M. It is now in use as guide cam. What can I say, I had no issues with it whatsoever. It works perfectly both in SharpCap and PHD2. Sensitivity is very good and frame latency is small. Well suitable for 0.5sec guiding for my harmonic drive mount. Works in Metaguide as well, but i only tried it for a bit. I also have QHY678M and picked this Touptek camera, because the QHY678M appear to have certain delay/latency after the frame capture. What I absolutely love about the both Touptek cameras is that when i change the exposure time in SharpCap, it resets the exposure right away. This was not the case of QHY and if there was for example 30sec exposure going on, that still needed to be finished before new frame with shorter exposure came out of the camera.
