Overview

The QHY600 uses the latest SONY IMX455 back-illuminated sensor, a full frame (35mm format) sensor with 3.76um pixels and native 16-bit A/D. This sensor is available in both monochrome and color versions. The sensor size is 36mm x 24mm. With the round body design, the QHY600 is an ideal camera to match the image circle of the new generation of RASA telescopes

Native 16-Bit

The new Sony sensor used in the QHY600 has native 16-bit A/D on-chip. The output is real 16-bits with 65536 levels. Compared to 12-bit and 14-bit A/D, a 16-bit A/D yields higher sample resolution and the system gain will be less than 1e-/ADU with no sample error noise and very low read noise.

Multiple Read Mode

  • 51ke- in standard mode at 3.76um
  • 80ke- in extended mode at 3.76um


One benefit of the back-illuminated CMOS structure is improved full well capacity. This is particularly helpful for sensors with small pixels. Even with unbinned, with 3.76um pixels, the QHY600 has a full well capacity of more than 51ke-. When binned 2x2 to 7.5um the full well is 196ke- and when binned 3x3 to 11um the full well is 441ke-.

Breakthrough Low Read Noise

  • 1.0e- to 3.7e-

The QHY600 has only one electron of read noise at high gain and full resolution and 4FPS readout speed. One electron of read noise means the camera can achieve a SNR>3 at only 4 to 6 photons. This is perfect performance when conditions are photon limited, i.e., short exposures, narrow band imaging, etc., making this large area sensor ideal for sky surveys, time domain astronomy, fluorescence imaging, DNA sequencing and microscopy.

Back-Illuminated

Equipped with a Sony IMX455, the QHY600 is a back-illuminated Scientific CMOS Camera with extremely low dark current (0.003e/p/s@-20C) using SONY's Exmor BSI CMOS technology. QHY600 is also a zero amplifer glow camera.

2GB Image Buffer

In order to provide smooth uninterrupted data transfer of the entire 60MP sensor at high speed, the QHY600 has 2GB DDR3 image buffer.

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
