Teseek QHY5III 678 Guiding Camera USB3.2 12Bit A/D High Sensitivity Astronomical Planetary Camera

Description:
- QHY5III 678M/C, the upgraded version of QHY5III 178M/C, is a new planetary and guiding camera of QHY5III V2 series with excellent near-infrared high sensitivity. The product comes with an IR850 filter.

- In this latest generation of sensors, the photodiode portion of the pixel well is physically deeper than in previous sensors, allowing photons of longer wavelengths to penetrate deeper into the substrate. This dramatically increases the sensor’s sensitivity to red and near-infrared (NIR) light. The sensor displays almost equal peak sensitivity to NIR light as it does to light in the visible spectrum.

512MB DDR3:
- The QHY5III series planetary and guiding cameras are all equipped with a 512MB DDR3 image buffer which can effectively reduce the pressure on computer transmission, a great help for planetary photography which often requires writing a large amount of data in a short period of time. Some deep-sky astrophotography cameras on the market today only have 256MB, for example.
- In comparison, the 512MB DDR3 memory of the new 5III series cameras represents a significant upgrade.

New Front-end Design with Better Compatibility:
- QHY5III V2 series cameras have adopted a new front-end design with better compatibility. The new front-end not only supports a 1.25-inch telescope interface, but also is compatible with CS and C lenses, and can use C/CS lenses for shooting with filters installed.
- The new front-end can be equipped with a 1.25-inch framed filter, or an frameless filter can be installed on the front-end of the CMOS upper end. The size of the compatible filter glass here varies depending on the size of the QHY5III V2 series CMOS, but it is basically a standard laboratory filter specification. Compared to astronomical filters with higher prices, laboratory filters often have lower prices and a wider range of bands, allowing you to develop more applications and gameplay on your own.

USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-C Interface:
- The new QHY5III (Ver.2) series cameras all use the USB3.2 Gen1 Type-C interface. Compared to the USB3.0 Type-B interface used in the previous generation, the Type-C interface has a longer life and is more flexible.
- Tips: It is recommended to use the official standard Type-C data cable of QHYCCD. As the market is flooded with a large number of poor-quality Type-C cables, casual use may lead to the camera malfunctioning. If you use your own spare cable, please make sure it is a high-quality cable.

Universal Guiding Interface:
- The custom interfaces of the previous generation of planetary cameras and guiders has been replaced in the QHY5III (Ver.2) cameras with a more universal ST-4 compatible guiding interface. Now, even if the guiding cable is lost or damaged, you will be able to easily get a replacement on the market at a low cost.

Indicator LED:
- The new QHY5III (Ver.2) series of cameras is equipped with a status indicator at the back of the camera. If the camera experiences an abnormal status, the multi-colored indicator light will help to determine the situation with different colors signifying different conditions. During normal operation this indicator light is off, so there is no worry about light contaminating the image.
