QHY600M-L Photographic Cooled Monochrome Camera (Lite Version)

Starting Price: $3,980.00
Price as Configured: $3,980.00
Brand: QHYCCD / SKU: QHY-600M-L (110081)

The QHY600 is the premier astrophotography camera. It has a massive Sony IMX 455 back-lit sensor for advanced imaging applications with low read noise and 16-bit output. It also offers a full frame (35 mm) format with 3.76-micron pixels and a 36 mm x 24 mm sensor to bring out the best in your imaging data. The QHY600M-L (Lite) is a sleeker form of the QHY600. It has a shorter body length and lighter weight--very portable and good for crowded setups. This camera is only available in a monochrome version.

QHY-030029 - QHY Active Extension Cable, DC 5V, 10m Long
About This Product
Why do you need an Active Extension Cable?

According to the characteristics of USB3.0, the maximum supported cable length of USB3.0 is about 3 meters, or the transmission stability cannot be guaranteed above 3 meters. In order to ensure the image quality, the standard USB cable length of QHY is 1.8 meters.

Unity Gain* 25 (Extended Full Well Mode) *

*With the improvement of the CMOS technology, the 16bit CMOS camera has been released, like QHY600/268/411/461. For these cameras, even in lowest gain it has beyond the requirement of unit gain (less than 1e/ADU due to sufficient samples) So you can directly set gain 0 as start. Please note QHY600/268C/411/461 has extend full well mode. In this mode you still need to find out the unit gain position.
