If you think a cooled camera is expensive, even more so with a built-in filter wheel, then we are here to prove you wrong. QHYCCD proudly releases the miniCAM5F, built on top of miniCAM5S with a built-in 9 positions motorised filter wheel. It is enhanced with long exposure capability and -45ºC below ambient cooling based on the same 1.2 megapixels 1/3" sensor used in the highly sensitive QHY5L-II. Thermal noise is reduced significantly and make this camera a great deep sky astrophotography camera. We bundle this capable camera with QHYCCD-defined 12mm LRGB filters. This gives you out-of-the-box capability of doing high resolution LRGB astrophotography be it planetary or deep sky imaging. The 12mm filters save you a great deal over 1.25" LRGB filters which cost upward of USD250. Optional hydrogen-alpha, sulphur-II, oxygen-III, hydrogen-beta, methane (CH4) filters are available soon at USD50 each. miniCAM5F has a built-in CMOS chamber heating board that prevents dew from forming when camera is cooled down way below ambient temperature. A desiccant tube with silica gels is also supplied shall the need to dry the CMOS chamber arises. The camera and the built-in filter wheel can be fully controlled by EzCAP on both Windows and Mac OSX platforms. We're sure you will have fun exploring astrophotography with this camera!
