QSI 6162ws8 - cooled CCD Camera with Filter Wheel, 8 Positions
The QSI-6162 model camera model employs a KAF-16200, 16 megapixel, full frame CCD image sensor with microlens technology that has been specifically produced for astrophotography. The 6-micron pixel size makes this camera the ideal imaging partner for a wide range of focal length telescopes. The ability to ´bin´ the CCD means the QSI-6162 is suitable for focal lengths right up to 2.5 m and still stay around 1 arc second per pixel (recommended for successful imaging). The large APS-H 16 mp CCD sensor with a 35 mm diagonal works happily using 2" mounted or 50.8 mm unmounted filters on scopes as fast as f/2.8 with minimal vignetting.

The camera is available with or without Integrated Guider Port (off-axis guider) and the choice of a five or eight position filter wheel.

The ´ws´ model comes with a shutter and filter wheel installed. The ´wsg´ model is additionally supplied with the Integrated Guider Port (IGP).

The 6162 camera system is supported by industry leading image acquisition software plus a full camera control API (ASCOM-compatible) is available for creating custom Windows or Linux applications.
