This is particularly helpful for sensors with small pixels.In a typical front-illuminated sensor, photons from the target entering the photosensitive layer of the sensor must first pass through the metal wiring that is embedded just above the photosensitive layer. The wiring structure reflects some of the photons and reduces the efficiency of the sensor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the back- illuminated sensor the light is allowed to enter the photosensitive surface from the reverse side. In this case the sensor’s embedded wiring structure is below the photosensitive layer. As a result, more incoming photons strike the photosensitive layer and more electrons are generated and captured in the pixel well. This ratio of photon to electron production is called quantum efficiency. The higher the quantum efficiency the more efficient the sensor is at converting photons to electrons and hence the more sensitive the sensor is to capturing an image of something dim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.qhyccd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20210602540.png\" class=\"oceanwp-lightbox\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"47\" width=\"47\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_glossy,ret_img,w_100,h_100\/https:\/\/www.qhyccd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20210602540.png\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_glossy,ret_img,w_100,h_100\/https:\/\/www.qhyccd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20210602540.png\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1583 ls-is-cached lazyloaded\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eZero Amplify Glow\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is also a zero amplifer glow camera.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.qhyccd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20210602542.png\" class=\"oceanwp-lightbox\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"39\" width=\"39\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_glossy,ret_img,w_100,h_100\/https:\/\/www.qhyccd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20210602542.png\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_glossy,ret_img,w_100,h_100\/https:\/\/www.qhyccd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20210602542.png\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1573 ls-is-cached lazyloaded\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRUE RAW Data\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the DSLR implementation there is a RAW image output, but typically it is not completely RAW.  Some evidence of noise reduction and hot pixel removal is still visible on close inspection.  This can have a negative effect on the image for astronomy such as the “star eater” effect.  However,  QHY Cameras offer TRUE RAW IMAGE OUTPUT and produces an image comprised of the original signal only, thereby maintaining the maximum flexibility for post-acquisition astronomical image processing programs and other scientific imaging applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.qhyccd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20210602234.png\" class=\"oceanwp-lightbox\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"41\" width=\"41\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_glossy,ret_img,w_100,h_100\/https:\/\/www.qhyccd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20210602234.png\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_glossy,ret_img,w_100,h_100\/https:\/\/www.qhyccd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20210602234.png\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1604 ls-is-cached lazyloaded\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnti-Dew Technology\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBased on almost 20-year cooled camera design experience, The QHY cooled camera has implemented the fully dew control solutions.

Rather than using a complex iris shutter, which are prone to failure, the Aluma uses a twin vane shutter and direct drive motor for high repeatability, reliability, and extremely long life.  The shutter is designed to be “even illumination” for the best accuracy in photometric measurements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg height=\"202\" width=\"404\" alt=\"iris1\" src=\"https:\/\/diffractionlimited.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/iris1.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-1230 size-full aligncenter\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"\u003eThe left image shows a flat field image taken with a camera using an iris type shutter.

SmartCooling also prevents any possibility of overheating by backing off power if the heat sink gets too hot – so you don’t need to worry if your camera is baking in a hot observatory during the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAdvanced Software Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll SBIG cameras come with our MaxIm LT software – a $249 value!  MaxIm LT is a special version of our venerable MaxIm DL software that provides complete control of your camera, filter wheel, and autoguider, plus advanced image processing capabilities.  If you wish you can upgrade to MaxIm DL Pro to get complete observatory integration and even more processing and analysis capabilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIncluded Accessories\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach Aluma camera package includes:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaxIm LT software – please use\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ethis form\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eto request your license\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeluxe carrying case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUniversal power supply (110V \/ 220V, 50-60 Hz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2″ Nosepiece adapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB flash drive containing software, drivers, and documentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e15 foot (4.5 m) USB cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTracking interface cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOptional Micron-Precision Filter Wheel\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe optional FW8S-Aluma 8-position filter wheel includes a positive centering mechanism that precisely centers each filter in the exact same position every time.

This is particularly helpful for sensors with small pixels. In a typical front-illuminated sensor, photons from the target entering the photosensitive layer of the sensor must first pass through the metal wiring that is embedded just above the photosensitive layer. The wiring structure reflects some of the photons and reduces the efficiency of the sensor. In the back- illuminated sensor the light is allowed to enter the photosensitive surface from the reverse side. In this case the sensor’s embedded wiring structure is below the photosensitive layer. As a result, more incoming photons strike the photosensitive layer and more electrons are generated and captured in the pixel well. This ratio of photon to electron production is called quantum efficiency.

If the input voltage is too low the camera will stop functioning or it may reboot when the TEC power percent is high, causing a drain on the power. Therefore, please make sure the input voltage arrived to the camera is adequate. 12V is the best but please note that a 12V cable that is very long or a cable with small conductor wire may exhibit enough resistance to cause a voltage drop between the power supply and the camera. The formular is: V(drop) = I * R (cable). It is advised that a very long 12V power cable not be used. It is better to place the 12V AC adapter closer to the camera.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst connect the 12V power supply, then connect the camera to your computer via the USB3.0 cable. Make sure the camera is plugged in before connecting the camera to the computer, otherwise the camera will not be recognized. When you connect the camera for the first time, the system discovers the new device and looks for drivers for it.  You can skip the online search step by clicking “Skip obtaining the driver software from Windows Update” and the computer will automatically find the driver locally and install it. If we take the 5IIISeries driver as an example (shown below), after the driver software is successfully installed, you will see QHY5IIISeries_IO in the device manager.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that the input voltage cannot be lower than 11.5v, otherwise the device will be unable to work normally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"block lv2 on\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"b42\" class=\"tit\"\u003eConnect Software\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cnt\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore using software, make sure you have connected the cooling camera to the 12V power supply and connected it to the computer with a USB3.0 data cable.
