QHYCCD is a Chinese company that specializes in designing and manufacturing high-performance scientific-grade CCD and CMOS cameras for astronomical, microscopy, and industrial imaging applications.
Founded in 2007 by a group of professional engineers and astrophotographers.
Launched their first astronomy camera in 2008 and have since then, continued to innovate and improve their product line
Expanded into microscopy and industrial imaging markets in addition to astronomical imaging.
Chinese manufacturer of high-quality astronomy cameras and accessories.
UK-based manufacturer of scientific grade cameras for astrophotography and scientific imaging.
US-based supplier of high-performance CCD and CMOS cameras for astrophotography, science, and industry.
A range of high-performance cooled CMOS cameras designed for astronomical imaging applications.
A range of high-performance cooled CCD cameras designed for low-light scientific applications.
A high-precision polar alignment camera that simplifies the process of aligning your telescope with the celestial pole.
A range of high-speed USB3.0 CMOS cameras designed for planetary and lunar imaging.
CMOS sensors are typically faster and more power-efficient than CCDs but tend to have higher noise levels. CCDs often have better image quality and dynamic range.
Cooled cameras reduce the noise in your images by reducing the dark current, which is the thermal noise generated by the sensor itself. This results in much cleaner and more detailed images, especially in low-light situations.
QHYCCD cameras offer various resolutions ranging from 1.2 MP to 51 MP depending on the model.
Yes. While QHYCCD cameras are primarily designed for astronomical imaging, they can also be used for scientific and industrial imaging applications, including microscopy, spectroscopy, and machine vision.
QHYCCD cameras come with a 1-year warranty that covers manufacturing defects and faults. There is also a 10-year warranty on the sensor against typical issues such as black point defects and hot pixels.
