QHY600-PH PRO IMAGING KIT

The QHY600M-PH Pro Imaging Kits include the following items:

• QHY600-PH Short Backfocus cooled monochrome CMOS camera
• QHYCFW3-L 7 x 2" & 7 x 50mm motorized filter wheel
• Your choice of Antlia 50mm round LRGB & 3nm SHO filters, Baader 50mm round LRGB & 3.5-4nm SHO filters, or Chroma 50mm round LRGB & 3nm SHO filters.

The QHY 600-PH Photographic Short Backfocus version is a full frame CMOS cooled astronomy camera containing the monochrome version of the Sony IMX455, a revolutionary full-frame back illuminated sensor which has a QE above 87% and true 16-bit A/D.

This translates to a dynamic range of 14 stops for vibrant and natural colours, even for faint or dark nebulae. The pixels have a size of 3.76 µm which is an excellent value for telescopes with different focal lengths.

The large sensor has a resolution of more than 61 Megapixels allowing to crop, scale and print the frames in large formats. The camera has a two-stage TEC cooling system with full anti-dew technology that brings the temperature of the sensor 35C° below ambient for low noise imaging, even in warm climates. The QHY 600-PH has zero amplifier glow no matter how long the exposure is.

The QHY CFW3 Large is a motorized filter wheel designed for 7 filters with a size of 2" and 7 unmounted filters with a diameter of 50mm. It uses a high quality ultra-thin hybrid stepper motor that compared to standard electrical motors, is more precise as it has a smaller stepper angle.

Antlia LRGB & 3nm SHO filters give professional, high contrast results even under very light-polluted skies. The maximum transmission is between 88-90% with transmission off-band only 0.1%.

Baader CMOS-optimized LRGB & SHO 3.5 / 4nm filters are precision-grade filters with high transmission at their respective emission lines. They are designed to work very well with modern highly-sensitive astronomy cameras and telescopes with focal ratios between f/15 to f/3.4.

Chroma LRGB & 3nm SHO filters are the finest astrophotography filters on the market. For applications where the highest image quality is required, these are simply unbeatable.
