Highly affordable super high resolution camera that can pretty much cover all your needs. The amazing new GSTAR-EX3 colour camera is your passport to live viewing and imaging the night sky. With better overall functionality and performance it also offers slightly wider field of view than its predecessors. The GSTAR-EX3 is USB plug and play ready utilising latest high-speed USB3 technology and new generation Sony Exmor image sensor and internal thermal cooling fan. The GSTAR-EX3 camera uses the Sony IMX178 CMOS Sensor which features high sensitivity, high resolution, and high dynamic range with back-illuminated CMOS image sensor technology. The IMX178 is an "Exmor R" sensor, with significantly enhanced imaging characteristics, including sensitivity and low noise, by changing fundamental structure of "Exmor" adopted column-parallel A/D converter to back-illuminated type.

Sony STARVIS sensors, of which the IMX178 is one, features sensitivity of 2000 mV or more per 1µm²*, and realizes high picture quality in the visible and near infrared light regions.


High dynamic range was achieved by featuring 14 bit ADC, which reduced quantization noise and suppressed dark random noise. This enables clear image quality in light and dark areas, even when imaging objects with high contrast. Not only is it a great deep-sky capable camera, with its small 2.4um pixels and 1/1.8-inch sensor size is performs exceptionally well as a superb guiding camera due to its advantages in resolution and wide FOV and as a high-speed planetary imager using ROI.
