QHY 5-II Series USB 2.0 Guiding and Planetary Cameras

Ultra Compact, High Senstiivty

The QHY5-II Series uncooled cameras fit in a standard 1.25-inch eyepiece holder and have an adjustable location ring for confocality with an eyepiece. They are ideal for use as low-weight autoguiders or planetary cameras where short exposures are typical. The QHY5-II series cameras come in very small but powerful packages! The improved thermal design allows the heat generated by the CMOS sensor to be transferred externally to the telescope's eyepiece tube.

We offer the following products from the QHY 5-II series:

QHY5L_II QE

QHY5L-II-Mono / Color
Most popular guide camera, 1.2 Megapixel

The QHY5L-II is the most popular guide camera for good reason, it has high sensitivity, an exceptional 74% QE, and low noise. The QHY5L-II's sensitivity is even better than many CCD cameras. The read noise is remarkably low (~ 4 electrons) and the on-chip FPN (Fixed Pattern Noise) calibration function solves one of the major problems of CMOS technology, resulting in images that are clear and uniform, even under high gain. With these advantages, the QHY5L-II provides outstanding image quality for planetary imaging, autoguiding, deep-sky and all-sky imaging. Available in color and monochrome versions.

The sensor has 1280 x 960 pixels at 3.75um and the camera is capable of 30 FPS in high resolution mode, 106 FPS in VGA mode

Guiding-Set
Mit einem seit Jahren vorhandenen Leitfernrohr beabsichtigte ich, mir ein Nachführset mit einer modernen Guidingkamera zusammenzustellen. Dazu erwarb ich bei Fa. Baader eine Okularklemme mit fernrohrseitig 36,4 mm auf 1/4“ sowie die Guidingkamera QHY 5ll. Nach dem Zusammenbau der Anordnung (siehe beigefügte Aufnahme) verband ich das Set über die ST4-Schnittstelle der Kamera mit meiner Montierungssteuerung FS2 und die Kamera über USB mit meinem Laptop. Nach Herunterladen und Installieren der erforderlichen Treiber (der Link zum Downloadbereich von QHYCC war auf einem der Kamera beigefügten Kärtchen angegeben ebenso der zum Bedienerhandbuch). Am ersten darauf folgenden klaren Abend aktivierte ich die Nachführsoftware PHD2 und aktivierte eine Verbindung zur Kamera, was problemlos gelang. Nach Fokussierung des Leitrohrs waren sofort mehrere Sterne auf dem Bildschirm zu sehen. Nach Eingabe weniger erforderlicher Parameter und der Auswahl eines Leitsterns startete ich die Autokalibrierung, nach deren Abschluss PHD2 den Nachführmodus freigab. Diesen aktivierte ich, worauf das System zu meiner Freude lange Zeit ohne Probleme autonom im Nachführkontrollmodus lief.
Gedacht ist der Einsatz dieser Anordnung als externer Guider für ein C14 mit Hperstar und einer noch zu beschaffenden modernen CMOS-Astrokamera.
