QHY183M Cooled CMOS Astronomy Camera

  • The QHY183M includes the 20 megapixel Sony IMX183 monochrome CMOS Exmor R sensor.
  • The Exmor R is a back-illuminated sensor that retains the advantages of CMOS high-speed operation but uses back-illumination technology for super low readout noise and high quantum efficiency.
  • The QHY183M offers a QE of 84% and readout noise as low as 1 electron!
  • The 1" sensor has an image array of 5544 x 3694 active pixels that are 2.4 µm in size for high resolution results even with smaller telescopes.
  • A two-stage TEC regulated cooling system cools the sensor to -40ºC to -45ºC below ambient temperature.
  • Other features include a 128MB DDR Memory Buffer for stable and reliable data transfer, a heated optical window and desiccant plug socket to help control dew and moisture, and the use of Anti-Amp Glow technology to keep CMOS amplifier glow to a minimum.

Alexander ★★★★★

That built-in TEC cooler dropped my sensor temps by over 35°C on a humid summer night, finally letting me shoot narrowband without a noisy background. The 20 megapixel resolution on a small pixel scale is incredible for lunar close-ups too.

Elizabeth ★★★★★

The back-illuminated sensor really pulls in faint nebulae details I could never capture with my old camera, and the cooling keeps noise down even on warm summer nights. Over the moon with my first deep-sky images from this setup.

Eva I. ★★★★★

Finally got this camera set up last night and the built-in cooling makes a huge difference—my dark frames are practically noise-free compared to my uncooled camera. The back-illuminated sensor really pulls in faint nebula details I've never captured before.
