The QHY 5-III174M Planetary Guiding Camera is designed for high-performance lunar, and solar imaging and guiding with a compatible guide scope. Equipped with a 1/1.2-inch Sony Exmor IMX174 CMOS sensor and a global shutter, this camera captures sharp and clear images. The large pixel size of 5.86μm and high quantum efficiency (QE) ensure excellent sensitivity, making it a powerful choice for capturing detailed solar images. With the capability to produce high frame rates through its USB 3.0 interface, the QHY5III174 delivers up to 138 frames per second at full resolution, and up to 490 FPS with a Region of Interest (ROI). This speed allows for highly detailed and smooth video capture, especially valuable for planetary imaging and guiding. Typical of the QHY5III series, the camera supports guiding functions, featuring a custom ST-4 guide port and compatibility with 1.25-inch, CS, and C-mount telescope interfaces. Its lightweight, compact design, weighing only 85g, makes it an excellent choice for use with a variety of setups.   Specifications Type Monochrome Sensor Type IMX174 Sensor Size 1/1.2" Pixel Size 5.86 μm Format APS-C Read Noise 2.2e- 5.5e Resolution 1920x1200 (2.3MP) Max Framerate 138 FPS  Shutter Electronic Global Shutter Full Well 32ke- Back Focus 12mm ADC 12-bit USB 3.0 Adapter  1.25-inch, with CS and C-Mount Weight 85 g   Camera Performance Graphs About QHYCCD QHYCCD specialises in designing and manufacturing high-quality astronomical devices, including cooled CMOS and CCD cameras, planetary and guiding cameras, and polar calibration gears like the PoleMaster.
