QHYCCD miniCAM8:

Compact, High-Resolution Cooled Imaging System

The QHYCCD miniCAM8 is a cutting-edge astroimaging camera designed for exceptional deep-sky and planetary imaging. Compact at just over 4 inches in diameter and a few inches thick, the miniCAM8 combines advanced features with unparalleled imaging performance.

Key Features:

  • High-Performance Sony IMX585 Sensor: Features 8 MP resolution, high dynamic range (HDR), and Starvis II technology for superior sensitivity and near-infrared performance.
  • Enhanced Near-Infrared Sensitivity: Delivers approximately 1.7x improved sensitivity in the near-infrared compared to the IMX485, with a maximum quantum efficiency of 92% in visible wavelengths.
  • Zero Amplifier Glow: Ensures clean, high-quality images free of unwanted glow artifacts.
  • Built-in 8-Position Filter Wheel: Fully equipped for LRGB and narrowband imaging, providing flexibility for diverse astrophotography needs.
  • Dual-Stage TE Cooling: Achieves a delta of -45℃ from ambient temperature for long-exposure deep-sky imaging.

Advanced Imaging Technologies:

  • Back-Illuminated (BSI) CMOS Sensor: Improves full-well capacity and light efficiency by eliminating reflective wiring layers.
  • Linearity HDR Mode: Proprietary algorithm corrects image linearity, ensuring smooth transitions and vibrant color gradation in 16-bit data processing.
  • Anti-Dew Technology: Built-in dew heater, sealed sensor chamber, and silicon gel tube design ensure humidity and condensation control.

Compact Yet Powerful:

The miniCAM8 offers the power of high-end cooled imaging systems in a travel-friendly form factor, without compromising on cooling, sensor quality, or imaging performance. Its durable design and cutting-edge technology make it a reliable choice for astrophotographers seeking versatility and precision.

Experience the perfect combination of size, performance, and advanced imaging features with the QHYCCD miniCAM8, ideal for capturing stunning deep-space and planetary images.
