The 1\/1.2″ chip measures 11.2 x 6.3 mm (12.85 mm diagonal) and records 3856 x 2180 (8.3 MP) at 2.9 µm, at up to 45 fps full frame or 187 fps at 1920 x 1080 with ROI. SVBONY lists a QE peak of about 90%, read noise from 6.5 down to 0.7 e⁻, a 38 ke⁻ full well, 12-bit ADC, 128 MB buffer, USB 3.0 and an ST4 guide port.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/0049\/6239\/files\/6380591245301392814664558.jpg?v=1791670586\" alt=\"SVBONY SV705C USB 3.0 high-speed transmission panel\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/0049\/6239\/files\/6380591247287612377598680.jpg?v=1791670586\" alt=\"SVBONY SV705C IMX585 colour sensor panel\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/0049\/6239\/files\/6380591249619539312970518.jpg?v=1791670586\" alt=\"SVBONY SV705C IMX585 sensitivity comparison panel\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a good match if you image planets and the Moon and want a larger 8.3 MP sensor than typical planetary cameras, or if you want one camera for planetary capture, live-stacked EAA of brighter deep-sky objects and guiding.

ROI cropping raises the frame rate sharply on small targets, from 45 fps at full resolution to 187 fps at 1920 x 1080, and the ST4 port allows the camera to be used as an autoguider.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/0049\/6239\/files\/6380591263294459568747458.jpg?v=1791670586\" alt=\"SVBONY SV705C ST4 guiding panel\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/0049\/6239\/files\/6380591265576870038230263.jpg?v=1791670586\" alt=\"SVBONY SV705C 128MB buffer panel\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/0049\/6239\/files\/6380591267220031376736621.jpg?v=1791670586\" alt=\"SVBONY SV705C ROI and BIN frame rate panel\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Uses\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanetary imaging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jupiter, Saturn, Mars and Venus in colour.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLunar and solar imaging:\u003c\/strong\u003e solar only with proper solar filtration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEAA and nebula imaging:\u003c\/strong\u003e SVBONY notes the near-infrared response for live-stacked deep-sky and nebula work.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAutoguiding:\u003c\/strong\u003e ST4 with PHD2 and ASCOM.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/0049\/6239\/files\/6380591269217834337162635.jpg?v=1791670586\" alt=\"SVBONY SV705C supported systems panel\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/0049\/6239\/files\/6380591271161724893583775.jpg?v=1791670586\" alt=\"SVBONY SV705C software support panel\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/0049\/6239\/files\/6380591277036273778788888.jpg?v=1791670585\" alt=\"SVBONY SV705C imaging uses panel\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility and Accessory Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdapters:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.25″, 2″, M42 x 0.75, CS and C connections;
