It exhibits excellent sensitivity and low noise, with the back illuminated Sony IMX183 having higher sensitivity and somewhat higher resolution than many beginner astro cameras.  It is well suited to planetary and deep-space imaging, particularly when mated with the CFW3S-US 1.25\" filter wheel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThe QHY183 has two-stage thermal electric cooling of the sensor to about minus 40 degrees C below ambient for maximum reduction of dark current noise in long exposures.  It also incorporates QHY’s Anti-Amp Glow technology to significantly reduce typical CMOS amplifier glow to a minimum, allowing excellent calibration by subtracting a dark frame as well as\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e Anti-Dew features common to the QHY COLDMOS cameras. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eDew is moisture that condenses from the air onto the outside of the chamber window.  Frost is water vapor that freezes when it comes into contact with the inside of the chamber window or the surface of the sensor.  QHY has nearly 20 years of experience designing cooled cameras and these models benefit from those years of anti-dew and anti-frost design experience.  To help prevent dew from forming on the chamber window heating elements are built into the light shield just above the chamber. To avoid frost from forming inside the chamber a desiccant tube is provided that can easily be attached by the user to the outside of the camera when needed to dry the internal atmosphere of the chamber and remove any built-up moisture.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs mentioned earlier, QHY183 models can be used as guiding devices, too.  The opto-isolated guiding port is a standard ST-4 configuration using an RJ11 style Jack.  A guiding cable is included with each camera.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eQHY183M\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCMOS Sensor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSONY IMX183\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMono\/Color\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMonochrome\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\u003ePixel Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.4μm*2.4μm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEffective Area\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5544*3684\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEffective Pixels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 Megapixels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSensor Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTypical 1 inch (13.3mm*8.87mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAD Sample Depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12bit (output as 16bit and 8bit)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFullwell\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15.5ke-\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrame Rate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull Resolution: 19FPS@8BIT 7.5FPS@12BIT\n\u003cp\u003eROI:\u003cbr\u003e4096*2160 4K HD Video 31FPS@8BIT 12FPS@12BIT\u003cbr\u003e1920*1080 HD Video 60FPS@8BIT 24FPS@12BIT\u003cbr\u003e800*600 SVGA 106FPS@8BIT 42FPS@12BIT\u003cbr\u003e640*480 VGA 130FPS@8BIT 53FPS@12BIT\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReadout Noise\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.7e-@lowest gain\u003cbr\u003e1.0e-@high gain\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDark Current\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.0024e-\/pixel\/sec @ -15℃\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExposure Time Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50us-3600sec\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnity Gain\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAnti-Glow Control\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAmplifer Glow Can be reduced during long exposure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShutter Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eElectric Rolling Shutter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eComputer Interface\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUSB3.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBuilt-in Image Buffer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e128MB DDR2 Buffer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCooling System\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDual Stage TEC cooler (-40℃ below ambient, test temperature +20℃）\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptic Window Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAR+AR High Quality Multi-Layer Anti-Reflection Coating\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTelescope Interface\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eM42\/0.75\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBack Focal Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17.5mm（±0.2）\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAnti-Dew Heater\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAvailable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e650g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"QHYCCD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43003635531889,"sku":"QHY-100105","price":1379.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0851\/2766\/files\/183_Square_Banner_23747d7f-64a2-4b22-92fd-dddb54227e03.jpg?v=1773942971","url":"https:\/\/khanscope.com\/products\/qhy-183m-cooled-bsi-monochrome-camera-1-sensor-110105","provider":"Khan Scope Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
