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
This is QHY’s entry-level camera, an ideal camera for beginners. Despite its affordable price, it offers the high-sensitivity, low-noise Aptina Color CMOS 1/4-inch ASX340 sensor with 720x576 resolution, 5.6 micron pixels, and a sensitivity of 16.5 V/lux-sec. It's perfect for basic imaging of the Moon, Sun (with safe solar filter), planets, and brighter deep-sky objects. Available in color only.
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.
