Name: Astrolumina Alccd-QHY 5III 174c - USB3.0 CMOS Color Camera
Brand: QHY Kameras
SKU: Alccd5III-174c
Price: 738.4 EUR

The ALccd-QHY 5III 174c is an excellent camera for solar, lunar, planetary and meteor photography, but also a low-noise and highly sensitive deep-sky camera.

High frame rate, well suited for sun, moon and planets

Sun and Moon are completely shown up to approx. 710 mm focal length

Relatively large diagonal (approx. 13.4 mm) for this kind of camera

Low noise and high sensitivity, suitable for deep-sky photography

Global shutter prevents distortion of moving objects

Camera fits directly to 1.25" focusers

Minimal back-focus necessary, thus suitable for off-axis guiders

Lightweight with only 85 g

The second image shows the connectors of a very similar camera as an example, the third image the entire range.

Astrolumina Alccd-QHY 5III 174c - fast CMOS Color Camera

The ALccd-QHY 5III 174 is the first model of a series of new USB 3.0 cameras. It is an excellent camera for the solar, lunar, planetary and meteor photography, but also a low-noise and highly sensitive camera for deep sky photography.

Sun and Moon are completely shown up to approx. 710 mm focal length. However, bear in mind that this leaves little room for tracking inaccuracies, which can cause the object to drift partially out of the field of view.

With a standard C-mount lens 50 mm f/1.4, you can reach stars of 8th to 9th magnitude live in a video stream at 30 frames per second (about 30 ms exposure time). This offers a new dimension in high-sensitivity HD video photography!

Sensor and shutter

In the ALccd-QHY 5III 174 color, the built sensor uses technology in the "global shutter" mode (Pregius TM) combines high frame rates with high quality, CCD-like image results. Other highlights include lower noise level, higher quantum efficiencies and ways to set higher gain values to.

The global shutter prevents smearing / pixelizing of moving objects, for example, also artifacts caused by atmospheric movements at higher frame rates at the moon/sun/planetary photography.

The housing

The housing shape is designed so that the camera, like the proven ALccd-QHY 5-II models, fits into standard 1.25" focusers or adapters. The fins provide for a fast and selective dissipation of the heat which is produced during the exposure.

The back focus is minimal, so that the camera can also be used in most off-axis guiders for auto guiding. The Lemo connector on RJ12 is robust and compatible to most mount controllers on the market.

The ALccd-QHY 5III 174 camera is also available as monochrome version.

System requirements

The camera has an advanced electronics that makes a PC with USB 2.0 support necessary. The maximum performance can be reached only with a powerful USB 3.0 computer.

The operating software is Windows 7, 8 and 10 compatible and supported by 32- and 64-bit.

We recommend the ASCOM compatible software packages MSB AstroArt, PHD or MaxIm DL for the Autoguiding. For shooting the freeware SharpCap (link on CD supplied).
