    USED 5-II Guide Camera with Guide Scope

    This QHY 5L-II-M Guide Camera and Mini GuideScope pair is in good condition.

    Description

    Camera

    The QHY5L-II-M is an ultra-small, monochrome CMOS Planetary/Guider camera with a staggering 74% Quantum Efficiency. It has an 1.25-inch eyepiece-style confocal design, making it ideal for off-axis guiding. The 5L-II-M has 3.75 micron pixels, which is advantageous for high-resolution planetary image capture.  Additionally, it is capable of a 30 to 200 FPS frame rate, allowing the 5L-II-M can effectively reduce atmospheric distortion, making it a great planetary imager. Also, with the latest CMOS technology, it has very high sensitivity and uniform noise performance, providing a CCD like quality. The camera has no vertical or horizonal banding and contains no Fixed Pattern Noise (FPN).

    Guide Scope

    An ultra lightweight guide scope for QHY5-II Series.  NOTE, this is the guide scope and mounting kit ONLY.  The camera is sold separately (shown here only for demonstration purposes)
    miniGuideScope - an ultra lightweight guide scope for QHY5-II Series
    This new updated design on the Mini GuideScope has a dew shield around the objective.
     
    When the pixels of a guide camera becomes small and QE becomes high, you may not need a big guide scope. The small pixels can detect the guide error in a short focal length. When the focal length is reduced, the FOV becomes bigger. You can find a suitable bright guide star very easily.
     
    The QHY5L-II has 74% high QE, 4 electron readout noise and 3.75µm small pixels. This camera is idea for  short focal guide scope. The miniGuideScope is a Focal length=130mm Diameter=30mm ultra small telescope at f/4.3. It has no complex focal adjust system. Just rotate the front part to achieve fine focal adjustment. There is a locker to fix the focuser position.When you find focus you can lock it and there is no need to focus again in future.
