Introduction

QHY5-III is a third generation QHYCCD USB3.0 camera utilising state of the art CMOS sensor with sophisticated thermal design in a compact form. The well acclaimed 1.25" eyepiece barrel design is retained and with grooved heatsink to enhance passive cooling. 

Sony IMX-174 is a 1/1.2 inch CMOS sensor with 2.3 megapixels (1920x1200) each of 5.86µm size with global shutter. The maximum capturing speed is 138 frames per seconds. The peak quantum efficiency of the sensor is 78%, 4% higher than the previous QHY5L-II-M's 74% yet offering 87.5% more pixels on 150% larger sensor area.

Apart from the state of the art sensor, the QHY5-III is equipped with aerospace grade guiding port, i.e. the 5 pin LEMO port which provides highly reliable connection. This is a feature only available on premium camera where manufacturers really care about its customers.
