Capture the sky with the QHY 600 CMOS camera

Twas a time, possibly before some of you reading this were born, when astroimaging was an ordeal. Imagine a world with manual guiding. You’d spend hours staring at a star centered in an illuminated ...

CCD vs CMOS...something changed?

Guessing by the noise improvements... I'm going to say that they [the industry] just can't get noise levels down enough on CCD sensors hence the move to CMOS. Nikon made some serious leaps and bounds ...

In 1992, Eric Fossum tried to reduce spacecraft image noise and created the CMOS sensor behind smartphone cameras

NASA's quest for smaller, energy-efficient space cameras led to a revolutionary imaging technology. Eric Fossum's innovation ...

3-CMOS chip vs. 3CCD chip design (digital camcorder)

I'm seeing more HD camcorders being released with a 3-CMOS chip design rather than a 3CCD chip design. Any idea why this might be? I heard CMOS chips reduce vertical smearing. CCD chips should have ...

CMOS High-speed Line Scan Cameras

Since they were introduced a decade ago, CMOS-APS sensors have rapidly become the first choice for high-speed area scan imaging. Up to now, most line scan cameras have been equipped with charged ...
