Transform your GPM662M from a Guide Camera to a wide-field galaxy imager in minutes. Our step-by-step guide ensures quick and secure lens replacement for different imaging applications.

Lens Replacement Guide

The modular CS-mount design allows seamless transitions between telescope imaging and wide-field photography, maximizing the versatility of your investment.

Extended Infrared Sensitivity

The monochrome GPM662M extends its spectral response to 1100nm, providing exceptional performance in near-infrared wavelengths. This extended range reveals atmospheric details on planets that are invisible in visible light, making it invaluable for advanced planetary imaging with methane and IR-pass filters.

Spectral Sensitivity

Optimized Dual-Mode Operation

Switch between HCG and LCG modes to perfectly match your imaging requirements, from capturing faint details to managing bright targets.

HCG Mode Performance

Achieve minimum read noise of just 0.4e⁻ for capturing the faintest planetary details and deep-sky objects with exceptional clarity.

HCG Mode Performance
  • • Read Noise: 0.4-1.32e⁻
  • • Full Well: 3.89ke⁻
  • • Dynamic Range: 11.9 stops

LCG Mode Performance

Maximum full well capacity of 33.8ke⁻ provides exceptional dynamic range for lunar, solar, and bright planetary imaging.

LCG Mode Performance
  • • Read Noise: 2.33-5.86e⁻
  • • Full Well: 33.8ke⁻
  • • Dynamic Range: 12 stops

Professional Features
