QHYCCD QHY5III585M

QHYCCD QHY5III585M (IMX585) USB3.2 Type-C Mono Planetary & Guiding Camera (Ver.2) The QHY5III585M is a seriously capable “do-it-all” camera for planetary, lunar, solar, and guiding, built around the Sony IMX585 STARVIS 2 sensor. You get a large 1/1.2" format, 2.9µm pixels, excellent near-infrared sensitivity, and a big jump in dynamic range—plus QHY’s practical Ver.2 improvements like USB-C, a 512MB DDR3 buffer, a compact 8mm backfocus (no adapter) for OAG friendliness, and a standard ST-4 guide port that’s easy to replace if you ever lose the cable. Sony IMX585 STARVIS 2 (BSI) sensor for high sensitivity and strong HDR performance Excellent near-IR response (great for IR-pass planetary work and high-contrast lunar/solar imaging) Large 1/1.2" sensor with 8.4MP resolution (3856×2180) for easier framing and more guide stars Zero glow characteristics for clean captures Big full well capacity (listed 52ke-) for improved dynamic range and highlight control Ultra-low read noise (listed 0.77e- to 8e-) for better fine detail and smoother stacks 512MB DDR3 built-in image buffer to reduce dropped frames and ease USB transfer pressure during high-speed capture USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-C interface for durability and convenient cabling (strongly recommended: high-quality USB-C cable) OAG-friendly backfocus: 8mm without adapter / 17mm with adapter Flexible telescope/lens use with interchangeable top glass and included adapters 1.25" nosepiece support + use of 1.25" filters Includes CS and C-mount options for adapting lenses Standard ST-4 guide port (easy to replace cables, no proprietary weirdness) Status indicator LED on the rear for diagnostics (off during normal use to avoid light contamination) Filters included: IR850nm filter plus IR-cut filter included (per provided info) Specifications Model: QHY5III585M (Ver.2) Sensor: Sony IMX585 Sensor type: BSI (STARVIS 2) Sensor size: 1/1.2" Pixel size: 2.9µm × 2.9µm Resolution: 3856 × 2180 Effective pixels: 8.4 MP Full well capacity: 52ke- Read noise: 0.77e- to 8e- ADC: 12-bit (output as 16-bit and 8-bit) Built-in buffer: 512MB DDR3 Frame rates (full frame): 41.5 FPS @ 8-bit, 23.5 FPS @ 16-bit ROI frame rates (full resolution): 1080 lines: 82 FPS @ 8-bit, 47 FPS @ 16-bit 640 lines: 135 FPS @ 8-bit, 79 FPS @ 16-bit After driver update 2025-06-13 (ROI improved): 1080 lines: 124.5 FPS @ 8-bit, 124.5 FPS @ 16-bit 640 lines: 199 FPS @ 8-bit, 199 FPS @ 16-bit Exposure range: 11µs – 900s Shutter: Electronic rolling shutter Computer interface: USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-C Guide port: Standard ST-4 Telescope/lens interface: 1.25", plus CS and C-mount support Optical window: Mono (M): AR anti-reflection glass Color (C): IR-cut filter Included filters: IR850nm filter, IR-cut filter included Back focal length: 17mm with adapter, 8mm without adapter Weight: 90g What’s in the box?
