QHYCCD cameras designed for astrophotographers include thermoelectrically cooled CMOS and CCD cameras, planetary & guiding cameras, filter wheels, off-axis guiders, a smart polar calibration device (PoleMaster), electric focuser and other accessories.QHYCCD has designed and manufactured high-quality astrophotography equipment for more than twenty years. Based on these years of design experience, our cooled astronomical cameras have implemented full frost and dew control solutions. The optical window has a built-in heater to prevent dew formation and the sensor chamber is protected from internal humidity condensation by a desiccant tube accessory included with each camera.
QHYCCD Cameras offer TRUE RAW IMAGE OUTPUT and produce an image comprised of the original signal only, thereby maintaining the maximum flexibility for post-acquisition astronomical image processing programs. By way of comparison, in the typical DSLR implementation there is a RAW image output, but typically it is not completely RAW. Some evidence of noise reduction and hot pixel removal is still visible on close inspection. This can have a negative effect on the image for astrophotography such as the “star eater” effect.
At just over 4 inches in diameter and a few inches thick (IMX585), the new miniCAM8 is a compact, high-resolution, high-performance, cooled imaging system and still image video camera capable of exceptional, high-quality deep space images as well as high-quality, high-resolution planetary images. So often, compactness in astroimaging is achieved
With the advantage of low readout noise and high-speed readout, CMOS technology has revolutionized astronomical imaging. A monochrome, back-illuminated, high-sensitivity astronomical imaging camera and still image video camera is the ideal choice for astro-imagers. The QHY600 Series uses Sony IMX455, a BSI full frame (35mm format) sensor with 3.76um pixels
QHY268M/C PH Astronomy Cooled Camera has great fullwell up to 75ke- and supports mutiple readout modes. Sony IMX571 CMOS, BSI, Native 16bit A/D.
QHY533M & QHY533C Astronomy Cooled Camera and Still Image Video Camera are good stuff for astrophotography beginners. Sony IMX533 CMOS, BSI, great amplify control.
QFocuser incorporates curves into its body design, adding a touch of elegance to the cold metal.
The QHY461 and QHY411 are astronomy-cooled cameras featuring a back-illuminated (BSI) Sony IMX461/IMX411 CMOS sensor with a 3.76μm pixel size and a 16-bit ADC. The QHY461 offers a 100-megapixel resolution, while the higher-resolution QHY411 offers 150 megapixels.
QHY5III200M is a new generation of QHY5III V2 series planetary and guiding camera, with excellent quality, and near-infrared high sensitivity. The 4um large pixel makes it suitable for guiding.
The QHY5III715C is an ultra-high resolution back-illuminated color camera with extremely low read noise. The sensor has 4K resolution with 1.45um pixels which makes it ideal for short focal length refractors.
QHY5III462M/C is a most popular Planetary & Guiding Camera with great IR sensitivity. USB3.0, IMX462, BSI, high FPS, IR filter offered
QHY5III678M/C, the upgraded version of QHY5III 178M/C, is a new planetary and guiding camera of QHY5III V2 series with excellent near-infrared high sensitivity. The product comes with an IR850 filter.
Equipped with a Sony IMX585 sensor, QHY5III585M/C is an QHY5III V2 series planetary and guiding camera, the enhanced version of QHY5III485C. It has a high sensitivity in the near-infrared, and the dynamic range performance has been greatly improved.
QHY5III174 Planetary Guiding Camera has 1/1.2-inch SONY Exmore IMX174 CMOS, global shutter. The large sensor size is a great choice for solar imaging and the large pixel size and high QE.
The new QHY294Pro is a 4/3-inch back-illuminated camera, equipped with an IMX 492 (Mono) sensor. The QHY294 Pro series camera is capable of locking and unlocking the on-chip binning to provide two readout modes.
QHYCFW3 Filter Wheel Series are available in four sizes to accommodate filters from 1.25-inch to 50 millimeters square.
To let large-sensor guide cameras to fully perform their potential, The QHYOAG Pro series with a larger prism is needed to clear the optical path.
PoleMaster is an easy, convenient and fast way to achieve excellent polar alignment. It’s been recognized by astronomy enthusiasts.
QHY Mini Guide Scope is a 30mm f/4.3 (130mm FL) telescope. When the pixels of a guide cam becomes small and QE become high, you may not need a big one.
QHYOAG off-axis guider includes a precision 1.25-inch helical focuser that accepts our QHY5II and QHY5III cameras.
QHY183M & QHY183C Astronomy Camera are ideal models designed for astrophotography beginners.
QHY367C PRO is the improved version of QHY367C. We redesigned the CMOS sensor structure and use the Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC) to replace the previous PCB. This FPC is very small and it allows us to seal the CMOS sensor manually instead of standard reflow soldering.
QHY5III485C Planetary Camera has a larger sensor which is suitable for Planetary & Lunar imaging. IMX485, back-illuminated, 8.4 megapixel color CMOS sensor with pixels at 2.9um.
Based on users’ feedback, QHYCCD have improved Adapter & BFL Solution (Adapter Kits) to most users’ needs.
