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
ToupTek G3CMOS series camera is an Astronomy camera that adopts SONY Exmor, Exmor R and Exmor RS CMOS sensor as the image-picking device and USB3.0 is used as the data transfer interface.
ToupTek G3CMOS series camera is an Astronomy camera that adopts SONY Exmor, Exmor R and Exmor RS CMOS sensor as the image-picking device and USB3.0 is used as the data transfer interface. High sensitivity and low noise to achieve the CCD quality image is the most well-known advantages of G3CMOS series cameras.
G3CMOS cameras hardware resolutions range from 2.3M to 20M and come with the integrated CNC aluminum alloy compact housing.
G3CMOS comes with advanced video & image processing application (ToupSky for astronomy application); Providing Windows/Linux/macOS/Android multiple platform SDK(Native C/C++, C#/VB.NET, Python, Java, DirectShow, Twain, etc);
The G3CMOS camera family can be widely used in astronomy application.
