Player One launching Saturn SQR camera series today!!
"SQR" is "square" for short.

Saturn-M SQR and Saturn-C SQR is the most powerful planetary camera in our history! Based on IMX533 BSI sensor, high image quality, high resolution and square format, non-amp-glow feature, the camera will be great for lunar, solar mosaic and DSO lucky imaging.

Saturn SQR camera has 3 advantages.

Extend Full well Capacity : Based on our technology, we improved the full well of Saturn SQR camera to 73Ke , it's almost 1.5 times than IMX533 Basic (50ke).

High Frame rate : Saturn SQR camera can run 43FPS under RAW8 mode, that's much faster than existing models on market.

Dual Sampling Mode : Saturn SQR series has dual sampling mode.

1.Normal mode has faster FPS, Normal mode is more suitable for planetary imaging.

Hi Sarciness,

We are happy to see your reply :) Since Saturn series is released, we are looking for new sensor to make Jupiter series. In the begining of this year, we considering about IMX492 and IMX294 sensor, but looks it has amp-glow problem. If Saturn series is so perfect, Jupiter series should beyond it, so we are going to find some better sensors to make it!
