The QHY268M/C is a new generation of back-illuminated CMOS cameras with true 16-bit A/D and 3.76um pixels. This Sony sensor is an ideal CMOS sensor exhibiting no amplifier glow. 16-bit A/D gives high resolution sampling of the whole full well range. Digitizing 0-65535 levels yields a smooth image with continuous gradation of grayscale levels.

With the advantage of low readout noise and high-speed readout, CMOS technology has revolutionized astronomical imaging. This monochrome, back-illuminated, high-sensitivity, astronomical imaging camera is the ideal choice for astro-imagers.

QHY estimates that 2-inch filters are large enough to cover the whole sensor area, but they’re expensive. As an alternative, QHY estimates that a 36mm filter can be matched with scopes whose focal ratio is smaller than f/4. However, if your scope has a large focal ratio like f/2.8, QHY recommends 2-inch filters.

Note: Adapter Kits B1 is provided FOR FREE with each QHY268M model.

The New Combo B1 is designed to be more flexible to achieve multiple output specifications. Since June 2023, QHY is adding a 5mm spacer with M54 threads into Adapter kit B1. This addition gives the user a choice of terminating the output in either M48 or M54 threads. You can get 55/56mm BFL with M48/M54 threads according to your needs. Since these are standard accessories included with the camera, this addition has no affect on the price.

55mm M48/M54 are suitable for standard flatteners and multiple purpose coma correctors (MPCC), while 56mm M54 threads are common for Takahashi reflectors.

The QHY600M-PH SBFL and QHY268M with CFW3L filter wheel can fit an optional Canon EF or Nikon F Lens Adapter without additional spacers. Smaller filter wheels may require additional spacers.
