About the Sony IMX485 Sensor…
The QHY5III485C uses the Sony IMX485; a back-illuminated, 8.4 MP color CMOS sensor with a pixel size of 2.9um and an array of 3864 x 2180. By employing the latest pixel technology for low-noise capabilities, the IMX485 delivers 3.3 times better low-light performance than comparable Sony sensors with 4K resolution. With its large field of view (12.86 mm diagonal) and super low read noise of less than 1e-, the QHY5III485C is ideal for lunar and solar imaging.
