In addition to the intuitive and easy-to-use AltairCapture software, the camera comes with a 12-month licence for SharpCap Pro. This capable piece of software adds extra functionality to the camera; including assisted Bahtinov mask and other focusing techniques, polar alignment and detailed control of imaging runs.
Approximately the same size and weight as a standard Plössl eyepiece, the GPCAM2 327C is completely portable, and requires no additional cables or power supply other than the USB connection. It drops neatly into a standard 1.25-inch fitting, while the nicely machined fins on the camera housing help to dissipate heat.
In addition to the USB connection, the GPCAM2 327C can be linked directly to a compatible mount or auto-guider control using the 1.5m ST4 cable and socket provided. The high sensitivity and low noise characteristics befit a very capable guide camera. It is fully compatible with PHD2 scope guiding software.
