Introducing the QHY5III178, the highest resolution camera in the QHY5III CMOS USB3.0 series, boasting an impressive 6.3MP resolution. This versatile camera is perfect for high-resolution planetary imaging, entry-level deep-sky imaging, and wide-field, precise autoguiding. Whether you are capturing fine details on planetary surfaces or guiding your telescope for long-exposure astrophotography, the QHY5III178 delivers excellent performance. With a 1/1.8-inch Sony IMX178 sensor and small 2.4μm pixels, the QHY5III178 offers a wide field of view, ensuring you can locate multiple guide stars. This enhances the precision of autoguiding, making it ideal for astrophotographers who need accurate tracking over extended exposure times. The LEMO-style connector for the ST4 guide port adds ruggedness and reliability, ensuring dependability during your guiding sessions. The QHY5III178 also excels in deep sky imaging with its advanced anti-amp glow function. This feature significantly reduces amplifier glow, a common issue in long-exposure astrophotography, allowing you to capture deep sky objects without unwanted image artifacts. Paired with its 14-bit A/D converter, the camera ensures smooth gradients and high dynamic range for your celestial images. Equipped with Sony's STARVIS back-illuminated (BSI) CMOS sensor, the QHY5III178 offers remarkable sensitivity, particularly in low-light conditions. With 2000mV or more sensitivity per 1μm², this camera performs exceptionally well in both visible light and near-infrared regions, making it suitable for a variety of astrophotography applications.   Specifications Type Colour Sensor Type IMX178 Sensor Size 1/1.1.8" Pixel Size 2.4 μm Read Noise 2.2e- 5.5e Resolution 3072*2048 (6.3MP) Max Framerate 100 FPS  Shutter Electronic Global Shutter Full Well 15ke- Back Focus 12mm ADC 14-bit USB 3.0 Adapter 1.25-inch, with CS and C-Mount Weight 85 g   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.
