Product Details
1. Compact, High-Sensitivity Autoguiders
QHY5-II series USB2.0 cameras come in very small but powerful packages. These cameras fit in a standard 1.25-inch eyepiece holder, but their improved thermal design allows the heat generated by the CMOS sensor to be transferred externally to the telescope's eyepiece tube. QHY5-II-series cameras are ideal for use as light-weight autoguiders or planetary imaging or travel cameras, and they’re directly powered through a USB connection. These cameras also have an adjustable location ring for confocality with an eyepiece.
2. Ideal for Real-Time Imaging of Bright Celestial Objects
QHY5-II series cameras are supplied with both Native WDM and Broadcast WDM drivers, which means you can use them as an ultra-high-performance web-cam for video capture or live video broadcasting. Show real-time astronomy images and events to your friends! QHY5-II series cameras can also be connected with the QHY InterCam stand-alone camera.
3. Fast Data Transfer and High Signal-To-Noise Ratio
QHY5P-II-C has a 5.0-megapixel Aptina 1/2.5” MT9P006 CMOS color sensor with 2592x1944 resolution and small 2.2um pixels. With its very high resolution, this camera is ideal for personal solar telescope imaging. Its 1.25-inch diameter allows it to be used in the eyepiece tube of a PST while solving the confocality issue common to them. The small pixel size provides high-resolution images even without a Barlow lens. The camera is also ideal for lunar imaging. The QHY5P-II-series cameras are capable of 7 frames per second in high resolution mode and 63 FPS in VGA mode.
4. Ready To Go Out of the Box
Each QHY5II series camera comes in its own metal box with USB cable, guide cable, focus ring and 1.25" extension tube.
