VITAL STATS
Weighing in at under 100g, the QHY5III462C is a colour planetary camera that is also available as a mono version. It is certainly one of the more compact cameras in QHYCCD’s collection, but this mini camera comes with some big features. Arriving in a single box, the QHY5III462C was nestled in a neat metal box not unlike an old-fashioned biscuit tin. Within, we found it well-secured in thick padded foam, with accessories including adaptors and filters stored snugly underneath. Inspecting the camera revealed it to be about the same width as a 1.25-inch eyepiece and a mere 80mm long.
Finished in a striking blue and with no plasticring, 1.25-inch infrared (IR)/ultraviolet (UV) blocking filter and a 1.25-inch 855nm IR pass filter.
