QHY5III462M Planetary Camera with High Near Infrared Response

High QE 800-1000nm and Monochrome at NIR

The QHY5III462M uses Sony’s latest generation IMX462 back-illuminated sensor with extended red and near infrared response. It has nearly double the red and NIR sensitivity as previous generation BSI sensors and even greater sensitivity compared to front illuminated sensors.

Low Light Sensitivity and 0.5e- Read Noise

Sony’s new sHCG (Super High Conversion Gain) technology produces a higher voltage from fewer photons resulting in greater sensitivity even at very low levels of light. With sHCG technology, even in visible light, the QHY5III462M has higher sensitivity than the back-illuminated IMX290 based cameras.

High Frame Rate 135FPS

To produce the highest detail with the greatest dynamic range, many planetary imagers prefer to capture hundreds or thousands of images in as short a time as possible and then process the results into one final combined image. This requires high sensitivity for short exposures and low read noise for combining multiple images. The QHY5III462M will output 135 frames per second at full resolution. With its exceptionally high QE and extraordinarily low (0.5e-) read noise, it is the perfect camera for planetary imaging.

Supplied with a IR850 Pass Filter for NIR Imaging

The QHY5III462M comes with a free 1.25-inch IR850 long wavelength pass filter that allows wavelengths > 850nm to pass through.
