Description

This kit from QHY combines the 600 Monochrome Photographic camera with a CFW3L large Filter Wheel. Available with either the standard QHY600M-PH model or the short back-focus SBFL model.

For more information on component parts, see individual pages for the camera and filter wheel.

For QHY600, the match we recommend is CFW3L and OAGM. If you have special requirement for short back focal length, like using Canon EF Lens (44.1mm BFL), Nikon F Lens (46.5mm), or using 55mm MPCC with both CFW and OAG, we recommend QHY600 SBFL version as the only choice.

Model BFL Consumed Filters Supported
QHY600M PH/Lite 17.5mm 7 position

2inch mounted/50mm unmounted

QHY600M SBFL 12.5mm
CFW3L 21.5mm

Here are the combo we recommend for the QHYCCD Astronomy Camera QHY600. Compared with purchasing them seperately, you can get a discount about 5% off for the combo.

Exposure Time Range 40us – 3600sec
Unity Gain* 25 (Extended Full Well Mode) *

*With the improvement of the CMOS technology, the 16bit CMOS camera has been released, like QHY600/268/411/461. For these cameras, even in lowest gain it has beyond the requirement of unit gain (less than 1e/ADU due to sufficient samples) So you can directly set gain 0 as start. Please note QHY600/268C/411/461 has extend full well mode. In this mode you still need to find out the unit gain position.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Stella ★★★★★

The full-frame sensor is a huge step up from my previous camera—the level of detail in my narrowband images is incredible now. The integrated filter wheel makes switching between Ha, OIII, and SII filters effortless, which saves me so much time during a session.

Samuel V. ★★★★★

Installing the CFW3L filter wheel was straightforward, and the integrated design with the 600M-PH camera body feels rock-solid. I'm getting much tighter stars and cleaner data on narrowband targets compared to my old rig.

Penelope ★★★★★

Swapped to this camera from an older CCD and the difference in cooling noise is night and day—even at -15°C the dark frames are cleaner than what I was getting at -25°. The integrated filter wheel saves so much hassle with spacing too.
