The QHY5III174 Planetary Guiding Camera has 1/1.2-inch SONY Exmore IMX174 CMOS, global shutter.
The large sensor size is a great choice for solar imaging and the large pixel size and high QE. T
ypical of all models in the QHY5III Series, this camera produces a high frame rate with the USB 3.0 interface, 138 frames per second at full resolution, up to 490 FPS at selected ROI.
Global Shutter:
Unlike the rolling shutter technology used in most CMOS cameras, a global shutter guarantees that the exposure time for the whole image area is uniform, beginning and ending at exactly the same time. This type of shutter is ideal for high precision applications. For high speed moving object and the atmospheric agitation the global shutter can generate undisborted imaging and realizes high picture quality.
Colour or mono? Black and white cameras have the advantage of higher sensitivity and resolution than colour cameras. However, more effort is required to obtain a colour image. You also need colour filters and a filter wheel
