You can see the cmos clearly by clicking for a larger image. Yes, I mean very clear and large.
I was so happy to see the QHY5 arrived at my doorstep on 13 July 2007. This CMOS camera is designed by Prof. Qiu Hong-Yun for autoguiding and planetary imaging. Its violet hue metallic casing looks very nice and solid. It has a IR filter attached. Below the filter is the CMOS which has 1.30Mpixels and each pixel has an area of 5.2µm x 5.2µm. It has a guider port and a USB port. There’s a red LED too.
2 ports and 1 LED on the bottom of QHY5
Anyway, review on this cmos camera will be made within one weeks time. The curse of new equipment has come, the weather has changed to hazy. A lot of amateur astronomers have this weather curse (normally, cloudy days) after they got their new equipments but mine is due to the forest burning in Indonesia.
