The QHY5III462M Mono Camera uses the Sixth Generation Sony 2.1 megapixel IMX462 STARVIS CMOS sensor with a pixel size of 2.9um. This sensor is exceptionally sensitive to near-infrared (NIR) light, displaying an almost equal peak sensitivity to NIR light as to visible light.
The QHY5III678M planetary guide camera is one of the 2nd generation of the QHY5III series, it’s the upgraded version of QHY5III178M with excellent near-infrared high sensitivity.  The product comes with filters including the IR850 filter.
Starlight Xpress Ultrastar Mono is an advanced version of the ‘Superstar’ guide camera and has a similar resolution of 1392 x 1040 pixels. The sensor has 70% more area and QE is greater, at around 75% peak. These characteristics give the Ultrastar excellent performance as both a guide camera and an imaging camera, it’s also well suited to ‘Live Viewing’ with a greater FOV than the Lodestar x2. Price includes shipping to UK.
The QHY600 Mono Full Frame Cooled CMOS Camera uses the latest SONY IMX455 back-illuminated sensor, a full frame (35mm format) sensor with 3.76um pixels and native 16-bit A/D. This listing is for the latest short back focus version.
The QHY174M-GPS cooled camera is the same as the QHY174M but with the addition of a GPS based precision time and location function, useful for imaging occultations, eclipses, meteors, and other scientific imaging requiring a highly precise recording of the time and location of the observation on every frame.
QHY5III585M is a new generation of QHY5III V2 series planetary guide camera. It has high sensitivity in the near infrared similar to that of 5III462M, while the dynamic range performance has been greatly improved. It has a 1/1.2-inch large sensor and excellent characteristics of zero glow.
The QHY5III585M comes with both an IR blocking filter and IR850 filter.
