QHY5L-II C – Planetary Imaging & Autoguiding Camera

The QHY5L-II C is a new QHY CMOS camera for planetary imaging applications and can also be used as an auto-guider. Unlike older CMOS technologies the QHY5L-II has no fixed pattern noise, and there’s no random horizontal noise. This camera has high FPS performance: up to 200fps @ 320 x 240. Camera is 1.25″ EP diameter and now has a native C or CS mount as standard. Choose this camera if you require a planetary or guiding capability at a very affordable price.

Planetary Imaging

With a frame rate range of between 30 and 200 frames, the QHY5L-II camera is an instrument best suited for capturing planetary images. Although high frame rates help reduce the amount of atmospheric agitation that influences the image, they also result in short exposure times.
