QHY5III200M

The QHY5III200M is part of the QHY5III V2 series of planetary and guiding cameras. Let’s explore its features: Sensor and Sensitivity: The QHY5III200M features the Sony IMX462 sensor, which has a pixel size of 2.9μm. This sensor is the same size and resolution as the one used in the successful QHY5III290 camera, which is widely used by top planetary imagers. The IMX462 sensor incorporates new technology, including sHCG (Super High Conversion Gain) for very low read noise at high gain. It is exceptionally sensitive in the near-infrared (NIR) range, making it ideal for stacking hundreds or thousands of short planetary images. The sensor’s sensitivity to red and NIR light is significantly improved due to its back-illuminated structure1. 512MB DDR3 Image Buffer: The QHY5III200M is equipped with a 512MB DDR3 image buffer. This buffer effectively reduces the pressure on computer transmission during planetary photography, which often requires writing a large amount of data in a short
