QHY PLANETARY COLOUR CAMERAS

The QHY5-III series USB3 planetary colour cameras are high speed, low noise cameras designed for solar system imaging. Featuring high sensitivity in visible and near-infrared light, these cameras are ideal for capturing details of the planets.

All QHY5-III cameras have 11mm backfocus which is advantageous for instruments where the focusing travel is limited such as in off axis guiders. They can be used in a standard 1.25-inch eyepiece holder and have an adjustable location ring for confocality with an eyepiece.

All QHY5-III cameras can reach a data transfer speed of up to 350 MByte/s via USB3.0 port, ideal for high speed imaging of fast-rotating planets.

The metal body and the advanced thermal design aim to dissipate the heat generated by the sensor and electronics and therefore to reduce the noise. The QHY5-III cameras include a heavy duty 5-pin socket for a solid connection between the camera and other devices.
