Product description

The monochrome all-round camera for deep-sky objects and planets, with 6.4 MP resolution

The Touptek EP3CMOS06300KMA is a monochrome camera for deep sky and planetary photography. It is a 'universal talent' for any astronomical object that you would like to photograph. The sensor's 6.4 megapixel specification means you can use maximum resolution. Even higher image quality is achieved, unlike a colour sensor. This camera is suitable for all amateur astronomers who value seeing a wealth of detail in monochrome or who want to compose beautiful colour photographs using LRGB filters. The new back-illuminated sensor ensures higher photosensitivity and extremely low noise.

The all-round camera for deep-sky and guiding, with 6.4 MP resolution

The Touptek EP3CMOS06300KPA camera is an expert deep sky instrument, but can also be used universally for any other astronomical object. A Sony IMX178 chip and 6.4 Megapixel resolution deliver consistently brilliant colour photos. The CMOS sensor is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, providing superior light sensitivity and extremely low noise - your best shots will be more than good enough to hang on the wall.

The advantages in a nutshell

  • high-sensitivity and low-noise CMOS sensor
  • rolling shutter for fast and brilliant images
  • perfect for deep sky exposures and guiding
  • high resolution and large image field of 3096x2080 pixels
  • 2.4ìm pixels - ideal for high-precision guiding

High-performance CMOS sensor with 6.4 megapixels

The heart of this camera is Sony's IMX178 sensor. It functions using STARVIS and Exmor R technology, which make exposures of faint nebulae possible in previously unimagined ways. But what is behind this? - the special technology involves a back-lit sensor with extremely high sensitivity and less noise. Your exposures provide extremely clear images that are rich in detail. In contrast to conventional sensors, the photodiodes are completely free of any shadowing - that all means more light is available and you will be able to expose faint astronomical objects in a shorter time. The extensive 14 bit dynamic range means you will benefit from enormous contrast, making your deep sky objects uniquely beautiful.

Better photos thanks to the rolling shutter

The CMOS sensor is equipped with a rolling shutter. The image is globally exposed, but every line of the chip is rapidly scanned so light continues to reach the pixels. This increases the sensitivity, reduces the noise of the image, and makes image exposures faster.

Included in the package - image acquisition and image editing software

Extensive software is included - with virtually everything an astrophotographer could wish for:

  • Live Image function
  • exposure settings
  • histogram
  • image acquisition and video functions
  • automatic Dark Subtraction
  • time-lapse image acquisition
  • image processing - stacking

Virtually everything you need is included in just one program, allowing you control of most of the image processing.

System requirements:

  • Windows 7, 8 or 10
  • Intel Core 2, 2.8GHz, 2GB memory, USB 2.0

Along with the camera, the drivers and cables required are included - to complete this convenient package.
