Cooled USB 3.0 Planetary and Deep Sky COLDMOS Camera

The QHY163M camera is an incredible value. It uses a relatively large 4/3inch, 16 Megapixel monochrome CMOS sensor. The QHY163M has exceptionally low readout noise (as low as 1 electron!), low dark current and two-stage cooling capable of reducing the sensor temperature to -40C below ambient. The sensor chamber is sealed and the optical window is heated to prevent dew. The camera's interface is USB 3.0 and delivers 23FPS@16 megapixel full resolution output, 30FPS@4K HD video output.

The QHY163 has a built-in 128MB DDRII image buffer. The benefit of the image buffer is that the memory will cache the image and transfer it to the computer when the USB interface is not busy or being interrupted, and the frame will not be lost or corrupted. This buffer also allows a slower computer with USB 2.0 socket to capture every frame without loss even if the USB socket is occasionally busy with other peripherals. This buffer also helps multiple camera applications and avoids USB transfer problems. For example, it is possible to operate four QHY163M cameras on the same computer to create an LRGB imaging array.

Full Anti-Dew Solution - With more than a decade of experience designing cooled cameras, QHYCCD has applied this knowledge to the QHY163 camera. The full anti-dew technology includes a sealed CMOS chamber with silicon gel tube socket and a heated chamber optical window. This technology prevents dew from forming on the sensor itself, or on the chamber window, even in a high humidity environment.

8x50 right angle finder

Yeah, not bad at all. Nice crisp and clear and far more ergonomic on my dobsonian than a straight through. Price is on point, well worth it.

UHC Filter 1.25" experience

I bought the UHC Filter and picked up the order from Astronz office. I spent some time at the office and with Andrew. It was a delightful time to share our experience. I used the filter for several nights for observation. I took photos with my smartphone with the filter; the result is impressive, though not professional.

T-Ring T2

I screwed the T-Ring T2 to a 55mm M42 extension tube on my telescope. Then I attached my Canon EOS 800D to the bayonet end and noted a rather loose fit. I used the small allen key supplied with the adapter to loosen the three grub screws on the adapter. Firmed up the loosness fit and re-tightened the grub screws. Very satisfied with the quality.

1.25 inch 35 mm extension tube.

A well made, versatile and useful accessory for 1.25 inch eyepieces. When using small telescopes without a prism or diagonal, there is sometimes not enough focus travel, this extension tube adds to the focus.

Good starter

This adaptor works well with an iPhone 16 max pro. It’s easy to fit the phone and get it into an eye piece.
It’s a good way to determine what is and isn’t possible with an iPhone camera.
Steady hands with a 12” Dob can capture the Orion cluster. Open star clusters are also great targets.

Unlocking the universe!

I purchased the 8” Astronz Dobsonian and it’s been amazing! First use I was in awe of Jupiter and moons, Saturn, Orion Nebula, Matariki, things I’d never seen apart from pictures. Andrew was super helpful. It’s really easy to setup and use, really good quality, so much to discover!

I have set it up on my sky tracker and tripod, ready to try but due to busy work and no clear sky in the last couple of week I had no opportunity tu use it. Can you ask for my feedback a bit later please. I gave 5 stars for excellent service and support by Astronz
