Regarding ToupTek cameras : by default they use IR-cut filter for color cameras and AR glass for monochrome cameras but can take request for different glass if you want
This monochrome USB-3 6.3MP camera is designed for use as a highly competent astrophotography camera incorporating cooled Sony Exmor R (back-illuminated) or RS sensors for super-high sensitivity.
This monochrome USB-3 6.3MP camera is designed for use as a highly competent astrophotography camera incorporating cooled Sony Exmor R (back-illuminated) or RS sensors for super-high sensitivity. It features ultra-low noise and low power dissipation by using column-parallel A/D conversion giving exposure times to 1000 secs. The cooling is system includes a controllable integrated back-end vibration-free fan and unique design cooling structure to maximize heat radiation. This camera has a standard M42 photographic mount. Included in the package is the famous ToupSky fully featured software for astrophotography. The housing is high quality Aluminum CNC which incorporates thermal transfer properties to dissipate heat from the sensor. Other features include real-time 8/12/14/16bit depth switch(depending on sensor) and a host of software utilities such as Windows/Linux/macOS/Android multiple platform SDK(Native C/C++, C#/VB.NET, Python, Java, DirectShow, Twain, etc.
