Camera for telescope ToupCam GCMOS01200KPB

The main purpose of a digital camera for telescope ToupCam GCMOS01200KPB

Digital camera for telescope ToupCam GCMOS01200KPB is designed for use with most telescopes, having fokusere standard diameter is 1.25" (31.75 mm). High-speed interface USB2.0 provides continuous data exchange between the camera of the telescope and the PC. All incoming information is real-time displayed on the monitor screen. Thus, you will be able on the big screen to see everything that was in the field of view of your telescope. It should also be noted that the camera GCMOS01200KPB ideal for guiding (the exact positioning of the telescope on the reference stars). In the package a suitable cable guidance ST4.

It should also be noted that the camera ToupCam GCMOS01200KPB meets the standards ASCOM, so you will be able to image not only with the help of specialized software that comes with the camera, but their usual programs. With camera for telescope GCMOS01200KPB, you will be able to document all their observations, creating a large archive of great photos and videos of objects from the world of stars and planets. The camera can shoot videos: 28 frames per second and a resolution of 1280x960 or 30 frames per second with a resolution of 640x480. High sensitivity sensor with the ability to change graphics settings in real time will allow to find the optimal settings for the received image. All that will remain users after a simple installation and configuration, is to enjoy the beautiful frames of the observed astronomical objects.

Calculate the field of view and resolution of the camera for telescope ToupCam GCMOS01200KPB

To estimate the field of view of the camera with the telescope, you can use the formula

A≈ 2*arctg(L/(2*F*b))

A - angular field of view,
L - size of a matrix in mm,
F - focal length of telescope in mm
b - magnification of the Barlow lenses.

For example, a telescope with a focal length of 1 meter = 1000 mm without the Barlow lenses , camera ToupCam GCMOS01200KPB with matrix sizes of 4.8 mm(H) x 3.6(V) mm and a pixel size of 3.75 microns = 0,00375 mm

A_(H) ≈ 2*arctg(4,8/(2*1000*1)) ≈ 0,0048 glad ≈ 0,28 °

A_(V)≈ 2*arctg(3,6/(2*1000*1)) ≈ of 0.0036 rad ≈ 0,21 °

The camera field of view ToupCam GCMOS01200KPB c telescope F=1000 mm is 16 ' x 12 '

Similarly, you can rate and resolution, but instead of the size of the matrix is taken to be the pixel size

A_(px) ≈ 2*arctg(3,6/(2*1000*1)) if 0,00000375 glad ≈ 0,00021 ° ≈ 0,8 "/px

Design features of digital camera to telescope ToupCam GCMOS01200KPB

Digital camera for telescope ToupCam GCMOS01200KPB is characterized by compact size, excellent performance characteristics, high resolution and superior system of digital processing of images. To get started, you need to install the camera in the focus node of the telescope and connect it to a PC using the supplied USB cable. The camera is powered using the same cable. It should also be noted that this camera is perfect for the procedure of guiding (the exact positioning of the telescope on the reference stars). 380-650 nm

By default, the camera is installed protective h IR-pass transmission range 350-1050 nm. If necessary, you can replace the IR-cut filter (380-650 nm). On camera with a special adapter (included) can be installed in various filter (1,25"). Available on the camera thread-Mount will allow you to match the camera with a special adapter (sold separately) with various optical devices corresponding to the respective standard (lenses, spotting scope, etc.). Also, the delivery package includes special software, which will allow to fully edit the resulting image on the computer. In addition, individual camera settings, namely white balance and exposure limits (to 0.4 MS ~ 15s) allows to choose the optimal parameters to obtain images of astronomical objects in the best quality. System requirements for computers to successfully use the following:

• Operating systems Microsoft Windows XP / Vista / 7 / 8 / 10 (32 & 64 bit), OS X (Mac OS X), Linux
• CPU: Intel Core2 2.8 GHz or higher
