The G3-16200 CCD cameras from Moravian offer very good performance on almost all amateur telescopes for astrophotography. With a 35 mm sensor diameter, the camera can still be used with stable 2" focusers and appropriate correctors. The resolution of 16 megapixels and 6 µm pixels allows fine object details to be captured with a large field of view: the G3-16200 is the ultimate camera for virtually all amateur telescopes.
Advantages of the G3-16200 cameras:
- Easy adaptation to the telescope or telephoto lens – suitable adaptors can be found in the accessories section.
- Filter wheel for seven 2" filters available as an option
- Mechanical shutter (ideal for dark frames)
- Two-stage Peltier cooling down to 45 °C below ambient temperature
- Exposure time from 200 ms to any value
Adaptation to the telescope:
The camera is supplied as standard with an M68x1 (ZEISS Level) connection on the telescope side. The distance from the M68 internal thread to the camera sensor is 30.5 mm.
Difference between sensor class 1 and class 2:
Basically, the results will not differ after subtracting the darks and bias. The defects (hot pixels, clusters, etc.) can be removed with suitable DARKS.
Class 1:
- Less than 2000 hot pixels
- Less than 40 clusters (areas with several adjacent pixels)
- No column errors (columns - more than 10 pixels)
Class 2
- Less than 2000 hot pixels
- Less than 40 clusters (areas with several adjacent pixels)
- Less than 15 column errors (columns - more than 10 pixels)
The filter wheel for 5 x 2" filters or 5 x 50 mm filters (round and unframed) is integrated.
