QHYCCD MiniCam5S Monochrome CMOS Camera - MCAM5S-M

Description

QHY MiniCam5S Monochrome CMOS Camera

The QHY MiniCam5S is a cooled CMOS monochrome camera that can be used for deep space and planetary imaging. It also makes a nice mono guide camera.

The QHY MiniCam5S uses the Aptina 1.2 megapixel MT9M034 CMOS monochrome sensor, with a 1280 x 960 pixel array made up of 3.75 µm square pixels. This sensor has extremely low readout noise and a QE of 74%. It is capable of capturing data at 30 FPS for full resolution, and 200 FPS at a resolution of 320 x 240.

Amazingly, the MiniCam5S includes a regulated dual-stage TEC that can cool the camera to a maximum of -38ºC below ambient. A built-in heater will help keep moisture from forming on the chamber window, but a silicon gel tube is included that will allow you to dry the chamber manually.

The MiniCam5S uses an industry standard 5PIN Lemo guide port. QHYCCD is the first manufacturer that uses this more expensive Lemo-style connector, which provides a superior connection between the camera and another device. The MiniCam5S supports on-camera guiding with 12-bit image output.
