QHYCCDAnnounces anew cameraTo your line ofhigh speed, high QE and low noise planetary chambers, the cameraQHY5III485CWith the new SONY IMX485 color CMOS sensor, back-illuminated, with 8.4 megapixel and 3864 x 2180 pixels at 2.9um. With USB 3.0, and a full frame rate of 44 FPS at 8-bit or 18.5 FPS at 16-bit.Smaller regions of interest will produce even faster frame rates.
This new QHY camera is a perfect match for the recently releasedQHY5III462C.
The camera is equipped with a16:9 resolution, which is equivalent to conventional video output. Featuring a high native resolution, this camera can play a special role in therecording of astronomical videos and live broadcasts of astronomical science.
In addition, it is specially equipped with a128 MB DDR integrated image buffer. In the non-video output mode, the built-in DDR buffer can effectively relieve the transmission pressure generated by alarge volume of high-resolution data and reduce information loss.
Includes afisheye lensTo function as an All-Sky camera in the standard package. This 2.5 mm lens converts the planetary camera into a8.4-megapixel high-resolution All Sky camera with 180-degree field of view.
Large sensor
The QHY5III485C has an area four times larger than the QHY5III485CQHY5III462C. and also four times more pixels. The area is the same size as that of the popular IMX174 sensor, but with higher resolution and "back illuminated". This generous field of view of the large sensor makes it ideal forsolar applicationsand lunar images, while theQHY5III462C. with a smaller and faster sensor with its improved IR response, it is the best choice for imaging planets such as Jupiter, Saturn and Mars.

High QE and sHCG
While the QHY5III485C camera does not have the extended near-infrared response of the QHY5III462C camera, it does feature sHGC (Super High Cain Conversion) for exceptionally low read noise (less than 1e-).
To obtainsolar and lunar images,nIR response is not required, but the ability to take multiple short exposures in H-alpha light.This camera is ideal for solar use and for making movies of solar prominences, arcs and flares.
