QHY-5-III-485C Planetary and All Sky Camera
QHY-5-III-485C Planetary and All Sky Camera
Large Sensor Size
The QHY5III485C has 4 times the area of the smaller QHY5-III-462C and 4 times the number of pixels. In area, it is the same size as the popular IMX174 sensor but with back- illumination and higher resolution. The generous field of view provided by this larger sensor makes it ideal for solar and lunar imaging whereas the smaller, faster QHY5-III-462C with its enhanced IR response is superior for imaging planets like Jupiter, Saturn and Mars.
High QE and sHCG
While the QHY5-III-485C does not have the extended near IR response of the QHY5-III-462C, it does have sHGC (Super High Cain Conversion) for exceptionally low (less than 1e-) read noise. For solar and lunar imaging, the NIR response is not required but the ability to take multiple short exposures in H-alpha light is ideal for solar use and making movies of solar prominences, arcs and eruptions.
Combination All Sky Camera
The QHY5III485C standard package includes a 2.5mm Fisheye lens that converts the planetary camera into a high-resolution, 8.3 Megapixel All Sky camera with 180-degree field of view.
Ultra Low Readout Noise
1.0e- to 2.4e- in standard mode. In sHGC mode, the readout noise is reduced further to 0.6e- to 1.09e-
Other Performance Highlights
- 8.3MP (3840x2160)
- 2.9um pixel size
- Back side Illuminated STARVIS
- Max frame rate in 2160p of 90fps @ 8bit
- 12 bit ADC (output as 16 bit or 8 bit file)
QHY5-III Series Standard Features
- QHYCCD proprietary noise reduction technology
- Amp-glow suppression technology
- Free of vertical or horizontal banding
- State of the art Sony CMOS sensor
- USB3 high speed interface
- 5 pin LEMO aerospace grade guiding port (ST-4 compatible)
- Grooved heat sink for effective passive cooling
- Standard 1.25" barrel design
QHY5-III is a third generation QHYCCD USB3.0 camera utilising state of the art CMOS sensor with sophisticated thermal design in a compact form. The well acclaimed 1.25" eyepiece barrel design is retained and with grooved heatsink to enhance passive cooling.
Apart from the state of the art sensor, the QHY5-III is equipped with aerospace grade guiding port, i.e. the 5 pin LEMO port which provides highly reliable connection. This is a feature only available on premium camera where manufacturers really care about its customers.
