Based on Sony’s IMX585 8 MP sensor, the miniCAM8 includes full TE cooling capable of reaching a delta of -45℃ from ambient along with a built-in 8-position filter wheel for complete LRGB and narrowband imaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe IMX585 is a Sony Starvis II processor that enables high sensitivity and high dynamic range (HDR). It also improves sensitivity in the near-infrared range by approximately 1.7 times* compared to the IMX485.

This is particularly helpful for sensors with small pixels. In a typical front-illuminated sensor, photons from the target entering the photosensitive layer of the sensor must first pass through the metal wiring that is embedded just above the photosensitive layer. The wiring structure reflects some of the photons and reduces the efficiency of the sensor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a back-illuminated sensor, the light is allowed to enter the photosensitive surface from the reverse side. In this case, the sensor’s embedded wiring structure is below the photosensitive layer. As a result, more incoming photons strike the photosensitive layer, and more electrons are generated and captured in the pixel well. This ratio of photon to electron production is called quantum efficiency. The higher the quantum efficiency, the more efficient the sensor is at converting photons to electrons, and hence the more sensitive the sensor is to capturing an image of something dim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLinearity HDR Mode - While the native ADC of the Sony IMX585 sensor is 12-bit, QHY merged the high and low gain to extend the data to 16-bit for better dynamic range.

Backlash calculations involve the entire focusing system, including the focus motor mount, not just the electronic focuser itself. Backlash will exist if there are mechanical gears in the focusing system. Since the High precision QFocuser uses a non-reducing motor (i.e., no mechanical reduction gears) the added backlash from the motor is almost zero. Then, if a good focusing mount is used, the entire focusing system will operate with almost zero backlash.

It has been recognized by astronomy enthusiasts around the world and has become a must-have for anyone using an equatorial mount for visual use or for imaging. The PoleMaster electronic polar axis alignment device is a patented product of QHYCCD and is protected by Chinese, US patents and International PCT.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs any seasoned astroimager would agree, achieving good polar alignment is not an easy task. You may spend hours under precious dark sky trying to get that perfect polar alignment, but in the end you may not know whether good alignment has in fact been achieved. Even after you have obtained good alignment, a gentle knock on the mount may send the polar alignment off and you may have no other choice but to start from scratch again. With an hour here and an hour there trying to get polar aligned, it soon will be dawn and time to pack up the gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PoleMaster is a great solution to this problem. The PoleMaster is an innovative product pioneered by QHYCCD to relieve the pain of polar alignment. Using PoleMaster and following a few simple, easy-to-follow, steps you can achieve perfect polar alignment in 2-3 minutes, with an accuracy of up to 30 arc seconds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith Polemaster, You don’t need to rotate the telescope to some uncomfortable position to keep the optical polar axis of the equatorial mount unobstructed. Also, you don’t need to squat down to look through the polar axis scope. You don’t need to turn off all the light sources to allow the naked eye to adapt to the darkness and look for the Polaris in the field of view. You also don’t need to enter the date and time and then rotate the equatorial mount to a strange angle, finally you don’t need to adjust the equatorial level. With the PoleMaster you can observe the alignment of the polar axis at any time, as well as continuously monitor the polar axis. When the equatorial mount moves inadvertently, you can also tune it back without having to redo everything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PoleMaster’s pixel resolution is approximately 30 arc seconds. The camera’s pixel matrix itself is a good ruler, so the accuracy it measures is much higher than the accuracy of the macroscopic lens. In the best case it can achieve an alignment accuracy of 30 arc seconds. The electronic polar mirror also has a large field of view of 11 degrees x 8 degrees, so it is easy to find the Polaris.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce you have calibrated with a PoleMaster, you only need to perform a single-star sync (one-star calibration). This greatly facilitates the setup of an equatorial mount.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a suitable adapter ring (sold separately), the PoleMaster can be mounted to any equatorial mount. Even single-axis equatorial mounts that have no ability to correct in declination will benefit because with the PoleMaster, after the polar axis is aligned, the amount of drift in the declination direction will be very small, which can further improve the performance of such an equatorial mount.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow does PoleMaster work? Well, the idea is actually fairly simple. You find out where the pole is, then determine the mechanical axis of rotation of your mount and finally make the two coincide. While the idea is simple, this has not been implemented in a commercial product - until now. PoleMaster makes use of a super sensitive wide field imaging camera along the axis of RA to monitor the polar region in real time (so not only it can detect Polaris but also the dimmer stars surrounding). From the positions of these stars PoleMaster can determine the position of the true pole and compare that to the mechanical axis of RA rotation. Polar alignment is now a simple matter of moving the two centres of rotation so they overlap. Piece of cake!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIn comparison with other polar alignment techniques, PoleMaster has the following advantages:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeed and convenience: With PoleMaster you do not need to move the telescope to a specific place just to unblock the polar scope. You do not need to kneel or contort your body to look through the polar scope. You do not need to fully dark adapt just to see the pole star. You do not need to level your mount.

Based on Sony’s IMX585 8 MP sensor, the miniCAM8 includes full TE cooling capable of reaching a delta of -45℃ from ambient along with a built-in 8-position filter wheel for complete LRGB and narrowband imaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Sony IMX585's Starvis II processor enables high sensitivity and high dynamic range (HDR). It also improves sensitivity in the near-infrared range by approximately 1.7 times* compared to the IMX485. The miniCAM8 has a maximum quantum efficiency of 60% in the near-infrared band and 92% in the visible wavelength band.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne benefit of the back-illuminated CMOS structure is improved full-well capacity. This is particularly helpful for sensors with small pixels. In a typical front-illuminated sensor, photons from the target entering the photosensitive layer of the sensor must first pass through the metal wiring that is embedded just above the photosensitive layer. The wiring structure reflects some of the photons and reduces the efficiency of the sensor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a back-illuminated sensor, the light is allowed to enter the photosensitive surface from the reverse side. In this case, the sensor’s embedded wiring structure is below the photosensitive layer. As a result, more incoming photons strike the photo-sensitive layer, and more electrons are generated and captured in the pixel well. This ratio of photon to electron production is called quantum efficiency. The higher the quantum efficiency, the more efficient the sensor is at converting photons to electrons, and hence the more sensitive the sensor is to capturing an image of something dim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the native ADC of the Sony IMX585 sensor is 12-bit, QHY merged the high and low gain to extend the data to 16-bit for better dynamic range. However, since this 16-bit depth is not native, a sudden shift in linearity might occur, affecting the smooth transition in images.

Based on Sony’s IMX585 8 MP sensor, the miniCAM8 includes full TE cooling capable of reaching a delta of -45℃ from ambient along with a built-in 8-position filter wheel for complete LRGB and narrowband imaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Sony IMX585's Starvis II processor enables high sensitivity and high dynamic range (HDR). It also improves sensitivity in the near-infrared range by approximately 1.7 times* compared to the IMX485. The miniCAM8 has a maximum quantum efficiency of 60% in the near-infrared band and 92% in the visible wavelength band.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne benefit of the back-illuminated CMOS structure is improved full-well capacity. This is particularly helpful for sensors with small pixels. In a typical front-illuminated sensor, photons from the target entering the photosensitive layer of the sensor must first pass through the metal wiring that is embedded just above the photosensitive layer. The wiring structure reflects some of the photons and reduces the efficiency of the sensor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a back-illuminated sensor, the light is allowed to enter the photosensitive surface from the reverse side. In this case, the sensor’s embedded wiring structure is below the photosensitive layer. As a result, more incoming photons strike the photo-sensitive layer, and more electrons are generated and captured in the pixel well. This ratio of photon to electron production is called quantum efficiency. The higher the quantum efficiency, the more efficient the sensor is at converting photons to electrons, and hence the more sensitive the sensor is to capturing an image of something dim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the native ADC of the Sony IMX585 sensor is 12-bit, QHY merged the high and low gain to extend the data to 16-bit for better dynamic range. However, since this 16-bit depth is not native, a sudden shift in linearity might occur, affecting the smooth transition in images. To address this, QHYCCD developed the “Linearity HDR” mode, which uses an algorithm-based approach to correct image linearity through software, ensuring smoother transitions and richer color representation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn the “Linearity HDR” mode, the full well is 46 ke-, while the read noise is only 1.0e-;

Based on Sony’s IMX585 8 MP sensor, the miniCAM8 includes full TE cooling capable of reaching a delta of -45℃ from ambient along with a built-in 8-position filter wheel for complete LRGB and narrowband imaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Sony IMX585's Starvis II processor enables high sensitivity and high dynamic range (HDR). It also improves sensitivity in the near-infrared range by approximately 1.7 times* compared to the IMX485. The miniCAM8 has a maximum quantum efficiency of 60% in the near-infrared band and 92% in the visible wavelength band.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne benefit of the back-illuminated CMOS structure is improved full-well capacity. This is particularly helpful for sensors with small pixels. In a typical front-illuminated sensor, photons from the target entering the photosensitive layer of the sensor must first pass through the metal wiring that is embedded just above the photosensitive layer. The wiring structure reflects some of the photons and reduces the efficiency of the sensor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a back-illuminated sensor, the light is allowed to enter the photosensitive surface from the reverse side. In this case, the sensor’s embedded wiring structure is below the photosensitive layer. As a result, more incoming photons strike the photo-sensitive layer, and more electrons are generated and captured in the pixel well. This ratio of photon to electron production is called quantum efficiency. The higher the quantum efficiency, the more efficient the sensor is at converting photons to electrons, and hence the more sensitive the sensor is to capturing an image of something dim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the native ADC of the Sony IMX585 sensor is 12-bit, QHY merged the high and low gain to extend the data to 16-bit for better dynamic range. However, since this 16-bit depth is not native, a sudden shift in linearity might occur, affecting the smooth transition in images. To address this, QHYCCD developed the “Linearity HDR” mode, which uses an algorithm-based approach to correct image linearity through software, ensuring smoother transitions and richer color representation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn the “Linearity HDR” mode, the full well is 46 ke-, while the read noise is only 1.0e-;

This is particularly helpful for sensors with small pixels. In a typical front-illuminated sensor, photons from the target entering the photosensitive layer of the sensor must first pass through the metal wiring that is embedded just above the photosensitive layer. The wiring structure reflects some of the photons and reduces the efficiency of the sensor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the back- illuminated sensor the light is allowed to enter the photosensitive surface from the reverse side. In this case the sensor’s embedded wiring structure is below the photosensitive layer. As a result, more incoming photons strike the photosensitive layer and more electrons are generated and captured in the pixel well. This ratio of photon to electron production is called quantum efficiency. The higher the quantum efficiency the more efficient the sensor is at converting photons to electrons and hence the more sensitive the sensor is to capturing an image of something dim.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRUE RAW Data\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the DSLR implementation there is a RAW image output, but typically it is not completely RAW.  Some evidence of noise reduction and hot pixel removal is still visible on close inspection.  This can have a negative effect on the image for astronomy such as the “star eater” effect.  However,  QHY Cameras offer TRUE RAW IMAGE OUTPUT and produces an image comprised of the original signal only, thereby maintaining the maximum flexibility for post-acquisition astronomical image processing programs and other scientific imaging applications.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnti-Dew Technology\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBased on almost 20-year cooled camera design experience, The QHY cooled camera has implemented the fully dew control solutions.

In the back- illuminated sensor the light is allowed to enter the photosensitive surface from the reverse side. In this case the sensor’s embedded wiring structure is below the photosensitive layer. As a result, more incoming photons strike the photosensitive layer and more electrons are generated and captured in the pixel well. This ratio of photon to electron production is called quantum efficiency. The higher the quantum efficiency the more efficient the sensor is at converting photons to electrons and hence the more sensitive the sensor is to capturing an image of something dim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRUE RAW Data: \u003c\/strong\u003eIn the DSLR implementation there is a RAW image output, but typically it is not completely RAW.  Some evidence of noise reduction and hot pixel removal is still visible on close inspection.  This can have a negative effect on the image for astronomy such as the “star eater” effect.  However,  QHY Cameras offer TRUE RAW IMAGE OUTPUT and produces an image comprised of the original signal only, thereby maintaining the maximum flexibility for post-acquisition astronomical image processing programs and other scientific imaging applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eZero Amplify Glow: \u003c\/strong\u003eThis is also a zero amplifier glow camera.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCooling \u0026amp; Anti-dew Control: \u003c\/strong\u003eIn addition to dual stage TE cooling, QHYCCD implements proprietary technology in hardware to control the dark current noise.

Normally, random horizontal banding can be removed with multiple frame stacking so it does not affect the final image. However, periodic horizontal banding is not removed with stacking so it may appear in the final image. By adjusting the USB traffic in Single Frame mode or Live Frame mode, you can adjust the frequency of the CMOS sensor driver and it can optimize the horizontal banding that appears on the image. This optimization is very effective in removing the periodic banding in some conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReboot the camera by power off and on: \u003c\/strong\u003eThe camera is designed to use the +12V to reboot the camera without disconnecting and reconnecting the USB interface.

The pixel count of the latest generation of CMOS sensors is very high resulting in greater memory requirements for temporary and permanent storage. When using some computers that do not have fast processors or have poor support for USB 3.0, the computer can’t transfer high-speed data well, and the data is often lost. The DDR can buffer a lot of image data and send it to the computer. Even if the USB 3.0 transmission frequently gets suspended, it will ensure that data is not lost.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor example, the QHY600 sensor produces about 120MB of data per frame. The data band-width is also increased from the original 16-bits to the current 32-bits. Transferring such a large file size necessarily requires the camera to have sufficient memory. This large image buffer meets the needs of high-speed image acquisition and transmission of the new generation of CMOS, making shooting of multiple frames smoother and less stuttered, further reducing the pressure on the computer CPU.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNative 16 bit A\/D: \u003c\/strong\u003eThe IMX455 Sony sensor has native 16-bit A\/D on-chip.

In the back-illuminated sensor the light is allowed to enter the photosensitive surface from the reverse side. In this case the sensor’s embedded wiring structure is below the photosensitive layer. As a result, more incoming photons strike the photosensitive layer and more electrons are generated and captured in the pixel well. This ratio of photon to electron production is called quantum efficiency. The higher the quantum efficiency the more efficient the sensor is at converting photons to electrons and hence the more sensitive the sensor is to capturing an image of something dim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRUE RAW Data: \u003c\/strong\u003eIn the DSLR implementation there is a RAW image output, but typically it is not completely RAW. Some evidence of noise reduction and hot pixel removal is still visible on close inspection. This can have a negative effect on the image for astronomy, such as the “star eater” effect. However, QHY cameras offer TRUE RAW IMAGE OUTPUT and produces an image comprised of the original signal only, thereby maintaining the maximum flexibility for post-acquisition astronomical image processing programs and other scientific imaging applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eZero Amplify Glow: \u003c\/strong\u003eThe QHY 600M-PH is a zero amplifier glow camera.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCooling \u0026amp; Anti-dew Control: \u003c\/strong\u003eIn addition to dual stage TE cooling, QHYCCD implements proprietary technology in hardware to control the dark current noise.

However, periodic horizontal banding is not removed with stacking so it may appear in the final image. By adjust the USB traffic in Single Frame mode or Live Frame mode, you can adjust the frequency of the CMOS sensor driver and it can optimize the horizontal banding appeared on the image.

The pixel count of the latest generation of CMOS sensors is very high resulting in greater memory requirements for temporary and permanent storage. When using some computers that do not have fast processors or have poor support for USB 3.0, the computer can’t transfer high-speed data well, and the data is often lost. The DDR can buffer a lot of image data and send it to the computer. Even if the USB 3.0 transmission frequently gets suspended, it will ensure that data is not lost.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor example, the QHY600 sensor produces about 120MB of data per frame. The data band-width is also increased from the original 16-bits to the current 32-bits. Transferring such a large file size necessarily requires the camera to have sufficient memory. This large image buffer meets the needs of high-speed image acquisition and transmission of the new generation of CMOS, making shooting of multiple frames smoother and less stuttered, further reducing the pressure on the computer CPU.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNative 16 bit A\/D: \u003c\/strong\u003eThe IMX455 Sony sensor has native 16-bit A\/D on-chip.

In the back-illuminated sensor the light is allowed to enter the photosensitive surface from the reverse side. In this case the sensor’s embedded wiring structure is below the photosensitive layer. As a result, more incoming photons strike the photosensitive layer and more electrons are generated and captured in the pixel well. This ratio of photon to electron production is called quantum efficiency. The higher the quantum efficiency the more efficient the sensor is at converting photons to electrons and hence the more sensitive the sensor is to capturing an image of something dim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRUE RAW Data: \u003c\/strong\u003eIn the DSLR implementation there is a RAW image output, but typically it is not completely RAW. Some evidence of noise reduction and hot pixel removal is still visible on close inspection. This can have a negative effect on the image for astronomy, such as the “star eater” effect. However, QHY cameras offer TRUE RAW IMAGE OUTPUT and produces an image comprised of the original signal only, thereby maintaining the maximum flexibility for post-acquisition astronomical image processing programs and other scientific imaging applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eZero Amplify Glow: \u003c\/strong\u003eThe QHY 600C-PH is a zero amplifier glow camera.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCooling \u0026amp; Anti-Dew Control: \u003c\/strong\u003eIn addition to dual stage TE cooling, QHYCCD implements proprietary technology in hardware to control the dark current noise.

Normally, random horizontal banding can be removed with multiple frame stacking so it does not affect the final image. However, periodic horizontal banding is not removed with stacking so it may appear in the final image. By adjust the USB traffic in Single Frame mode or Live Frame mode, you can adjust the frequency of the CMOS sensor driver and it can optimize the horizontal banding appeared on the image. This optimized is very effective to remove the periodic banding in some conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReboot the Camera by Power Off and On: \u003c\/strong\u003eThe camera is designed to use the +12V to reboot the camera without disconnecting and reconnecting the USB interface. This means that you can reboot the camera simply by shutting down the +12V and then powering it back on. This feature is very handy for remote controlling the camera in an observatory. You can use a remotely controlled power supply to reboot the camera.

The pixel count of the latest generation of CMOS sensors is very high resulting in greater memory requirements for temporary and permanent storage. When using some computers that do not have fast processors or have poor support for USB 3.0, the computer can’t transfer high-speed data well, and the data is often lost. The DDR can buffer a lot of image data and send it to the computer. Even if the USB 3.0 transmission frequently gets suspended, it will ensure that data is not lost.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor example, the QHY600 sensor produces about 120MB of data per frame. The data band-width is also increased from the original 16-bits to the current 32-bits. Transferring such a large file size necessarily requires the camera to have sufficient memory. This large image buffer meets the needs of high-speed image acquisition and transmission of the new generation of CMOS, making shooting of multiple frames smoother and less stuttered, further reducing the pressure on the computer CPU.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNative 16 bit A\/D: \u003c\/strong\u003eThe IMX455 Sony sensor has native 16-bit A\/D on-chip.

Compared to 12-bit and 14-bit A\/D, a 16-bit A\/D yields higher sample resolution and the system gain will be less than 1e-\/ADU with no sample error noise and very low read noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBSI: \u003c\/strong\u003eOne benefit of the back-illuminated CMOS structure is improved full well capacity. In the back-illuminated sensor the light is allowed to enter the photosensitive surface from the reverse side. In this case the sensor’s embedded wiring structure is below the photosensitive layer. As a result, more incoming photons strike the photosensitive layer and more electrons are generated and captured in the pixel well. This ratio of photon to electron production is called quantum efficiency. The higher the quantum efficiency the more efficient the sensor is at converting photons to electrons and hence the more sensitive the sensor is to capturing an image of something dim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRUE RAW Data: \u003c\/strong\u003eIn the DSLR implementation there is a RAW image output, but typically it is not completely RAW. Some evidence of noise reduction and hot pixel removal is still visible on close inspection. This can have a negative effect on the image for astronomy, such as the “star eater” effect. However, QHY cameras offer TRUE RAW IMAGE OUTPUT and produces an image comprised of the original signal only, thereby maintaining the maximum flexibility for post-acquisition astronomical image processing programs and other scientific imaging applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eZero Amplify Glow: \u003c\/strong\u003eThe QHY 600M-PH SBFL is a zero amplifier glow camera.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCooling \u0026amp; Anti-Dew Control: \u003c\/strong\u003eIn addition to dual stage TE cooling, QHYCCD implements proprietary technology in hardware to control the dark current noise.

This thermal noises has the characteristic of the fixed position of typical thermal noise, but the value is not related to the exposure time.  Instead, each frame appears to have its own characteristics.  The QHY600\/268\/461\/411 use an innovative suppression technology that can significantly reduce the apparent level of such noise.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUVLO Protection: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUVLO (Under Voltage Locking) is to protect the electronic device from damage caused by abnormally low voltages.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOur daily life experience tells us that the actual operational voltage of an electrical device must not significantly exceed the rated voltage, otherwise it will be damaged. For such precision equipment as cameras, long-term work at too low input voltage can also be detrimental to the working life of the camera, and may even make some devices, such as power manager, burn up due to long-term overload. In the all-in-one driver and SDK after 2021.10.23 stable version, the camera will give a warning when the input voltage of the camera is below 11V.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOptimizing USB Traffic to Minimize Horizontal Banding: \u003c\/strong\u003eIt is common behavior for a CMOS sensor to contain some horizontal banding. Normally, random horizontal banding can be removed with multiple frame stacking so it does not affect the final image. However, periodic horizontal banding is not removed with stacking so it may appear in the final image. By adjust the USB traffic in Single Frame mode or Live Frame mode, you can adjust the frequency of the CMOS sensor driver and it can optimize the horizontal banding appeared on the image. This optimized is very effective to remove the periodic banding in some conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReboot the Camera by Power Off and On: \u003c\/strong\u003eThe camera is designed to use the +12V to reboot the camera without disconnecting and reconnecting the USB interface. This means that you can reboot the camera simply by shutting down the +12V and then powering it back on. This feature is very handy for remote controlling the camera in an observatory. You can use a remotely controlled power supply to reboot the camera.

In the back- illuminated sensor the light is allowed to enter the photosensitive surface from the reverse side. In this case the sensor’s embedded wiring structure is below the photosensitive layer. As a result, more incoming photons strike the photosensitive layer and more electrons are generated and captured in the pixel well. This ratio of photon to electron production is called quantum efficiency.

However, periodic horizontal banding is not removed with stacking so it may appear in the final image. By adjust the USB traffic in Single Frame mode or Live Frame mode, you can adjust the frequency of the CMOS sensor driver and it can optimize the horizontal banding appeared on the image.

In the back- illuminated sensor the light is allowed to enter the photosensitive surface from the reverse side. In this case the sensor’s embedded wiring structure is below the photosensitive layer. As a result, more incoming photons strike the photosensitive layer and more electrons are generated and captured in the pixel well. This ratio of photon to electron production is called quantum efficiency. The higher the quantum efficiency the more efficient the sensor is at converting photons to electrons and hence the more sensitive the sensor is to capturing an image of something dim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRUE RAW Data: \u003c\/strong\u003eIn the DSLR implementation there is a RAW image output, but typically it is not completely RAW.  Some evidence of noise reduction and hot pixel removal is still visible on close inspection.  This can have a negative effect on the image for astronomy such as the “star eater” effect. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever,  QHY offers TRUE RAW IMAGE OUTPUT and produces an image comprised of the original signal only, thereby maintaining the maximum flexibility for post-acquisition astronomical image processing programs and other scientific imaging applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eZero Amplify Glow: \u003c\/strong\u003eThis is also a zero amplifier glow camera.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCooling \u0026amp; Anti-dew Control: \u003c\/strong\u003eIn addition to dual stage TE cooling, QHYCCD implements proprietary technology in hardware to control the dark current noise.

There is no need to consider how to reconnect the USB in the case of remote control.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tit\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tit\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"a2\" class=\"tit\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMultiple Readout Modes and Curves: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tit\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tit\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMultiple Readout Modes are special for QHY 16-bit Cameras (QHY600\/268\/461\/411).  Different readout modes result in different performance.

Nevertheless, QHYCCD has implemented a unique approach to achieve a full well capacity higher than 51ke- through innovative user controllable read mode settings. In Extended Fullwell Mode, the QHY600 can achieve an extremely large full-well charge value of nearly 80ke- and the QHY268 can achieve nearly 75ke-. Greater full-well capacity provides greater dynamic range and large variations in magnitude of brightness are less likely to saturate. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2CMS Modes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExtended Fullwell Mode-2CMS (Mode#3)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhotographic DSO Mode-2CMS (Mode#4)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh Gain Mode-2CMS (Mode#5)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBased on the three basic modes above, 2CMS mode can greatly reduce readout noise by secondary sampling while keeping the same full well value and system gain.

In the back- illuminated sensor the light is allowed to enter the photosensitive surface from the reverse side. In this case the sensor’s embedded wiring structure is below the photosensitive layer.

capacity. This is particularly helpful for sensors with small pixels. In a typical front-illuminated sensor, photons from the target entering the photosensitive layer of the sensor must first pass through the metal wiring that is embedded just above the photosensitive layer. The wiring structure reflects some of the photons and reduces the efficiency of the sensor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the back- illuminated sensor the light is allowed to enter the photosensitive surface from the reverse side. In this case the sensor’s embedded wiring structure is below the photosensitive layer. As a result, more incoming photons strike the photosensitive layer and more electrons are generated and captured in the pixel well. This ratio of photon to electron production is called quantum efficiency. The higher the quantum efficiency the more efficient the sensor is at converting photons to electrons and hence the more sensitive the sensor is to capturing an image of something dim.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRUE RAW Data\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the DSLR implementation there is a RAW image output, but typically it is not completely RAW.  Some evidence of noise reduction and hot pixel removal is still visible on close inspection.  This can have a negative effect on the image for astronomy such as the “star eater” effect.  However,  QHY Cameras offer TRUE RAW IMAGE OUTPUT and produces an image comprised of the original signal only, thereby maintaining the maximum flexibility for post-acquisition astronomical image processing programs and other scientific imaging applications.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnti-Dew Technology\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBased on almost 20-year cooled camera design experience, The QHY cooled camera has implemented the fully dew control solutions.

It also improves sensitivity in the near-infrared range by approximately 1.7 times* compared to the IMX485. The miniCAM8 has a maximum quantum efficiency of 60% in the near-infrared band and 92% in the visible wavelength band.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne benefit of the back-illuminated CMOS structure is improved full-well capacity. This is particularly helpful for sensors with small pixels. In a typical front-illuminated sensor, photons from the target entering the photosensitive layer of the sensor must first pass through the metal wiring that is embedded just above the photosensitive layer. The wiring structure reflects some of the photons and reduces the efficiency of the sensor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a back-illuminated sensor, the light is allowed to enter the photosensitive surface from the reverse side. In this case, the sensor’s embedded wiring structure is below the photosensitive layer. As a result, more incoming photons strike the photosensitive layer, and more electrons are generated and captured in the pixel well. This ratio of photon to electron production is called quantum efficiency. The higher the quantum efficiency, the more efficient the sensor is at converting photons to electrons, and hence the more sensitive the sensor is to capturing an image of something dim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLinearity HDR Mode - While the native ADC of the Sony IMX585 sensor is 12-bit, QHY merged the high and low gain to extend the data to 16-bit for better dynamic range. However, since this 16-bit depth is not native, a sudden shift in linearity might occur, affecting the smooth transition in images.

The pixel size is 2.9um making it the same size and resolution as the sensor used in the QHY5III290 camera that has been so successfully used for planetary imaging by some of the best planetary imagers in the world. Like other cameras in the 5III series, the QHY5III462 is USB 3.0 powered and controlled. No additional power is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe IMX462 sensor is back-illuminated and incorporates new technology that gives it some significant advantage over other planetary cameras: First, the IMX462 sensor has sHCG (Super High Conversion Gain) for very low read noise at high gain. This is ideal for stacking hundreds or thousands of short planetary images. Second, it is exceptionally sensitive in the NIR.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this latest generation of sensors, the photodiode portion of the pixel well is physically deeper than in previous Sony BSI sensors, allowing photons of longer wavelength to penetrate deeper into the substrate. This dramatically increases the sensor’s sensitivity to red and near infrared (NIR) light. The RGB filters over the pixels become transparent at NIR wavelengths, so the sensor displays almost equal peak sensitivity to NIR light as it does to light in the visible spectrum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe peak QE in the NIR around 800nm is as high as the peak QE in the visible wavelengths. For planetary imagers using a methane filter that passes light around 880nm this is welcome news.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBSI\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne benefit of the back-illuminated CMOS structure is improved full well capacity. This is particularly helpful for sensors with small pixels. In a typical front-illuminated sensor, photons from the target entering the photosensitive layer of the sensor must first pass through the metal wiring that is embedded just above the photosensitive layer. The wiring structure reflects some of the photons and reduces the efficiency of the sensor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the back-illuminated sensor the light is allowed to enter the photosensitive surface from the reverse side. In this case the sensor’s embedded wiring structure is below the photosensitive layer. As a result, more incoming photons strike the photosensitive layer and more electrons are generated and captured in the pixel well. This ratio of photon to electron production is called quantum efficiency. The higher the quantum efficiency the more efficient the sensor is at converting photons to electrons and hence the more sensitive the sensor is to capturing an image of something dim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"block lv2 on\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"tit\" id=\"b11\"\u003eExtended Near Infrared Sensitivity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cnt\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLogically, one would think, each generation of Exmor sensor would be built upon and incorporate all of the improvements of the generation immediately preceding. However, this was not the case with the fifth generation Exmor R sensors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first back-illuminated sensors used shallower pixel wells (like the third-generation front- illuminated designs) than the physically deeper pixels of the fourth generation. So, while the back- illuminated structure increased the sensitivity in the visible range by 2X, the shallower pixels did not improve the NIR. The answer to this is seen in the latest, sixth generation, Sony Exmor R sensors, like the IMX462. Using physically deeper pixels in conjunction with the back-illuminated structure has dramatically improved the sensor’s sensitivity to both the visible and near infrared wavelengths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"block lv2 on\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"tit\" id=\"b12\"\u003esHCG Mode\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cnt\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother advantage of the QHY5III462 is the camera’s “Super High Conversion Gain” capability.

This is particularly helpful for sensors with small pixels. In a typical front-illuminated sensor, photons from the target entering the photosensitive layer of the sensor must first pass through the metal wiring that is embedded just above the photosensitive layer. The wiring structure reflects some of the photons and reduces the efficiency of the sensor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the back-illuminated sensor the light is allowed to enter the photosensitive surface from the reverse side. In this case the sensor’s embedded wiring structure is below the photosensitive layer. As a result, more incoming photons strike the photosensitive layer and more electrons are generated and captured in the pixel well. This ratio of photon to electron production is called quantum efficiency. The higher the quantum efficiency the more efficient the sensor is at converting photons to electrons and hence the more sensitive the sensor is to capturing an image of something dim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"block lv2 on\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 id=\"b11\" class=\"tit\"\u003eExtended Near Infrared Sensitivity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cnt\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLogically, one would think, each generation of Exmor sensor would be built upon and incorporate all of the improvements of the generation immediately preceding. However, this was not the case with the fifth generation Exmor R sensors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first back-illuminated sensors used shallower pixel wells (like the third-generation front- illuminated designs) than the physically deeper pixels of the fourth generation. So, while the back- illuminated structure increased the sensitivity in the visible range by 2X, the shallower pixels did not improve the NIR. The answer to this is seen in the latest, sixth generation, Sony Exmor R sensors, like the IMX462. Using physically deeper pixels in conjunction with the back-illuminated structure has dramatically improved the sensor’s sensitivity to both the visible and near infrared wavelengths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"block lv2 on\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 id=\"b12\" class=\"tit\"\u003esHCG Mode\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cnt\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother advantage of the QHY5III462 is the camera’s “Super High Conversion Gain” capability.

However, in order to fully exploit the capabilities of the 462C sensor, in the QHY5III462C camera the optical window is AR coated only with no UV or IR blocking. Instead, the QHY5III462C camera includes two 1.25″ screw-in filters, a UV\/IR cut filter to isolate the visible wavelengths for normal RGB imaging and an IR850 filter that will cut the visible wavelengths but pass wavelengths above 850nm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eQHY5III462C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImage Sensor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSONY IMX462\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMono\/Color\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFSI\/BSI\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBSI\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSensor Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTypical 1\/2.8 inch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePixel Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.9μm*2.9μm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEffective Pixel Area\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1920*1080\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEffective Pixels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 Megapixels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull Well Capacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12ke-\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRead Noise\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.5e-\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eA\/D\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12-bit (output as 16-bit and 8-bit)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBuilt-in Image Buffer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e–\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull Frame Rates\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e135 FPS@8bit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eROI Frame Rates\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTBA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExposure Time Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7μs-900sec\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShutter Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eElectronic Rolling Shutter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eComputer Interface\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUSB3.0 Type-B\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGuide Port\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCustom ST-4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTelescope Interface\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.25-inch, C-Mount\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptical Window\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAR Anti-reflection Glass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExtra Filter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIR850nm \u0026amp; IR-Cut Filter Included\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBack Focal Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e88g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"QHYCCD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43003987394673,"sku":"QHY-110078","price":261.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0851\/2766\/files\/462_with_Lens_Accessories_ef78a23e-87e1-41e4-b565-43e383cbaf31.jpg?v=1773950331"},{"product_id":"qhy-5iii1485c-color-bsi-planetary-guiding-camera-1-2-8-sensor-110085","title":"QHY 5III1485C Color BSI Planetary Guiding Camera - 1\/1.2\" Sensor - 110085","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0851\/2766\/files\/485_Square_Banner_9de37357-966e-4e9f-ae66-d9b27852c6bc.jpg?v=1774032675\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe QHY5III485C uses Sony’s IMX485, a back-illuminated, 8.4 megapixel color CMOS sensor with an array of 3864 x 2180 pixels at 2.9um.

The pixel count of the latest generation of CMOS sensors is very high resulting in greater memory requirements for temporary and permanent storage. When using some computers that do not have fast processors or have poor support for USB 3.0, the computer can’t transfer high-speed data well, and the data is often lost. The DDR can buffer a lot of image data and send it to the computer. Even if the USB 3.0 transmission frequently gets suspended, it will ensure that data is not lost.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor example, the QHY600 sensor produces about 120MB of data per frame. The data band-width is also increased from the original 16-bits to the current 32-bits. Transferring such a large file size necessarily requires the camera to have sufficient memory. This large image buffer meets the needs of high-speed image acquisition and transmission of the new generation of CMOS, making shooting of multiple frames smoother and less stuttered, further reducing the pressure on the computer CPU.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNative 16 bit A\/D: \u003c\/strong\u003eThe IMX455 Sony sensor has native 16-bit A\/D on-chip.

In the back-illuminated sensor the light is allowed to enter the photosensitive surface from the reverse side. In this case the sensor’s embedded wiring structure is below the photosensitive layer. As a result, more incoming photons strike the photosensitive layer and more electrons are generated and captured in the pixel well. This ratio of photon to electron production is called quantum efficiency. The higher the quantum efficiency the more efficient the sensor is at converting photons to electrons and hence the more sensitive the sensor is to capturing an image of something dim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRUE RAW Data: \u003c\/strong\u003eIn the DSLR implementation there is a RAW image output, but typically it is not completely RAW.

However, QHY cameras offer TRUE RAW IMAGE OUTPUT and produces an image comprised of the original signal only, thereby maintaining the maximum flexibility for post-acquisition astronomical image processing programs and other scientific imaging applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eZero Amplify Glow: \u003c\/strong\u003eThe QHY 600C-PH SBFL is a zero amplifier glow camera.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCooling \u0026amp; Anti-Dew Control: \u003c\/strong\u003eIn addition to dual stage TE cooling, QHYCCD implements proprietary technology in hardware to control the dark current noise.

However, periodic horizontal banding is not removed with stacking so it may appear in the final image. By adjust the USB traffic in Single Frame mode or Live Frame mode, you can adjust the frequency of the CMOS sensor driver and it can optimize the horizontal banding appeared on the image.
