My review of my new Svbony SV705C camera - First test on Planetary imaging!

Geetings fellow astronomers.  I just recently purchased the Svbony SV705C planetary camera during the Svbony black Friday sale.  The Svbony SV705C planetary camera uses the larger Sony IMX585 sensor released around 2021 with a 1/1.2 pixel sensor.  The Svbony SV705C camera like most newer astro cameras on the market have several new technologies in them such as backlighting sensor technology removing virtually all amp glow that existed in older sensors so the image brightness is completely uniform across the sensor field (Sony STARVIS 2) which should help produce great captures.  Like other modern sensors the Sony IMX585 sensor uses HCG to increase dynamic range while lowering sensor noise another great feature which allows you to capture images with great dynamic color range and very low noise compared to older cameras (but there is still some noise at very high gains of course).  And yes the Sony IMX585 sensor in the Svbony SV705C camera has a much higher fullw...
