QHYCCD-174M-GPS CMOS Camera for Occultation Work

JOA 2018, Vol. 8, No. 2, Page 3

Author(s): Christoph Bittner

Abstract: CCD cameras are now standard for occultation work but accurate timestamping is still a challenge. With analog cameras, a video time inserter has to be used whereas digital cameras rely on the PC clock. The QHYCCD-174M-GPS is a new camera with an integrated GPS receiver and it outputs each image with an accurate timestamp.
