With its small 2.4um pixels and 1/1.8-inch sensor size, the monochrome QHY5III178M is a superb guiding camera due to its advantages in resolution and wide FOV, plus its extraordinary sensitivity due to the STARVIS Exmore sensor. (STARVIS is Sony’s designation for sensors that can record real time video in starlight). Output is 50 FPS at full resolution and up to 190 FPS at selected ROI.
