Overview
The QHY5III485C is a high-performance 4K color camera equipped with Sony's IMX485, back-illuminated CMOS sensor, offering 8.4 megapixels at a resolution of 3864 x 2180 pixels. With its 16:9 aspect ratio, this camera is ideal for video output, making it perfect for astronomical video recording and live streaming. It also features a 128MB DDR built-in image buffer to manage high-resolution data and enhance performance. Additionally, the camera includes a 2.5mm fisheye lens, transforming it into an all-sky camera with a 180-degree field of view.
4K resolution
The QHY5III485C uses Sony's new IMX485, back-illuminated, 8.4 megapixel color CMOS sensor with an array of 3864 x 2180 pixels at 2.9um. With USB 3.0 interface, the full frame rate of 44 FPS at 8-bits or 18.5 FPS at 16-bits. Smaller regions of interest will yield even faster frame rates.
16:9 resolution - More convenient video output
The resolution of QHY5III485C is 16:9, which is equivalent to the mainstream video output ratio. With the native high resolution, 485C can play a special role in recording astronomical video and astronomical science live broadcast.
DDR built-in image buffer
QHY5III485C is specially equipped with 128MB DDR built-in image buffer. In non-video output mode, DDR built-in buffer can effectively relieve the transmission pressure brought by high-resolution large data volume and reduce information loss.
Multiple Functions
The QHY5III485C standard package includes a 2.5mm Fisheye lens that converts the planetary camera into a high-resolution, 8.4 Megapixel All Sky camera with 180-degree field of view.

Let customers speak for us
from 119 reviewsGreat addition to my telescope
Makes looking at the sky much easier
Good quality , Great value .

Worked as designed and can be used on other rigs as well

It was exactly what I needed and would have taken me ages to source. Thanks so much for a great service!
Happy with the sales integration with staff. Goods arrived on time and in good order. Looking forward to a bright future dealing with new Astronomy supplier

Exactly what was needed with fast delivery. Great trade!!!

Much better than my old x3 Barlow which was to powerful for my Tasco Galasee 144mm/500mm telescope. Clear and sharp.

Yeah, not bad at all. Nice crisp and clear and far more ergonomic on my dobsonian than a straight through. Price is on point, well worth it.

I bought a barlow lense and it's perfect for telescope viewing. Customer service was great too. Would highly recommend.

Excellent help and advice

Arrived quickly and was well packed. In perfect order. Easy to read, and easy to use. Makes finding stars homes very simple.

I bought the UHC Filter and picked up the order from Astronz office. I spent some time at the office and with Andrew. It was a delightful time to share our experience. I used the filter for several nights for observation. I took photos with my smartphone with the filter; the result is impressive, though not professional.

I screwed the T-Ring T2 to a 55mm M42 extension tube on my telescope. Then I attached my Canon EOS 800D to the bayonet end and noted a rather loose fit. I used the small allen key supplied with the adapter to loosen the three grub screws on the adapter. Firmed up the loosness fit and re-tightened the grub screws. Very satisfied with the quality.

Very good product and good service delivering it promptly.
