The QSI 583c camera employs an 8.3 megapixel Kodak KAF-8300 full-frame CCD image sensor with microlens technology. Integral Bayer RGB color filter array allows Single-Shot color imaging. The high quantum
efficiency, wide dynamic range and low noise performance make the 583c
ideally suited to a broad range of demanding astronomical, scientific
and industrial imaging applications. The 22.5mm diagonal CCD in the 583c provides the largest field of view available in the QSI 500 Series.
Mechanical Shutter
The Model 583cs camera includes the internal mechanical shutter in
the 'mid-size' camera body configuration. The mechanical
shutter is employed to cover the CCD and simplify the creation of Dark and Bias frames for
subsequent image processing.
Integrated Guider Port
The Model 583csg camera has the internal mechanical shutter like the 583cs, plus it adds an Integrated Guider Port. This
allows guiding using the light from your main telescope while picking
off the light from the guide star in front of the filters.
Single-Shot Color Imaging
Single-Shot color imaging is made possible by overlaying the pixels on the CCD with
an alternating red, green and blue color filter matrix at the time of manufacture.
This is the same technique used by the vast majority of color video and still cameras to create color images.
Single-shot color imaging eliminates the need to take a sequence of images through multiple color filters and is essential for applications with moving subjects.
