QHY Camera 600PH-M Mono (84754)

The QHY Camera 600PH-M Mono is a high-resolution, cooled monochrome astrophotography camera designed for advanced imaging tasks such as deep-sky, lunar, planetary, and even all-sky observations. It features a large, back-illuminated CMOS sensor for exceptional sensitivity, advanced cooling and anti-dew technology, and robust sealing to prevent humidity and condensation. The camera is ideal for users who require precise control for techniques like LRGB and narrowband imaging, as well as scientific applications like spectrometry and photometry.

Back-Illuminated CMOS Sensor
The back-illuminated structure allows more photons to reach the photosensitive layer, increasing quantum efficiency and sensitivity. This results in better performance when imaging faint celestial objects.

Cooling and Anti-Dew Control
Dual-stage TE cooling, a built-in dew heater, and a sealed sensor chamber with a silicon gel tube keep the sensor dry and free from condensation, ensuring low noise and reliable operation even during long exposures.
