Description
The QHY GPS Box is a small add-on accessory for certain QHY astronomy cameras. It gives the camera very accurate time and GPS information.
The QHY-GPSBOX is a compact camera accessory that provides high-precision GPS hardware time scales allowing some QHYCCD cameras to obtain accurate time information of the camera's exposure time. In addition, this information is returned to the camera internally and added to the image data after the start of one frame of the image. GPS timing information and image information are therefore completely consistent. No confusion is created due to transmission, buffering or other reasons. It is very convenient to use and read.
The QHY GPS Box helps you tag your images with correct time information, which is very useful for things like:
-
Astrometry (measuring precise positions of stars and objects)
-
Occultation observations (timing when a star is blocked by an asteroid)
-
Scientific work where time must be exact
Currently ONLY the following models have 6-pin aviation plug which supports GPSBOX (without further modification).
- QHY600 Pro
- QHY268Pro
- QHY4040
- QHY4040Pro
- QHY6060
- QHY42Pro
- QHY411
- QHY461
Other models don’t have a 6-pin plug but can be modified to be compatible with the QHY-GPSBOX.
