QHY Camera 600PH-C Color (84755)

The QHY Camera 600PH-C Color is a high-resolution, cooled color astrophotography camera built for capturing detailed images of the Moon, planets, nebulae, and galaxies. It features a large, back-illuminated CMOS sensor for outstanding sensitivity, advanced cooling with anti-dew technology, and a robust sealed design to prevent condensation and humidity issues. This camera is ideal for users seeking the convenience of direct RGB imaging without the need for additional filters or filter wheels.

Back-Illuminated CMOS Sensor
The back-illuminated sensor design allows more light to reach the photosensitive layer, significantly increasing quantum efficiency and overall sensitivity. This means the camera can capture faint astronomical objects more effectively, producing clearer and more detailed images.

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

Frame Rate

• Full resolution: 4.0 FPS (8-bit output), 2.5 FPS (16-bit output)
