The QHY163M is a high-performance camera designed for deep-sky imaging, featuring a 16MP 4/3-inch Panasonic CMOS sensor. Its monochrome sensor offers exceptional sensitivity, making it ideal for capturing faint celestial objects with impressive detail and clarity. The camera’s small 3.8μm pixel size and 16-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) provide high-resolution images, suitable for astrophotographers seeking precise results. One of the most important feature on this camera is that it is cooled, which makes it perfect for long exposure sessions. The QHY163M has the capacity to cool 40ºC below ambient. Incorporated with anti-dew technology, the CMOS chamer is fully sealed and includes a silicon tube socket as well as a heater to avoid dew formation, so that users can enjoy a relaxed imaging session even on damp nights. Perfect for deep-sky imaging, made with Sony CMOS sensor and a fast USB.3.0 interface, users can enjoy all levels of sky observation as this camera provides ultra sensitive and high frame rate photography capabilities. The optic window of the QHY163M is coated with a high-quality multi-layer anti-reflection (AR) coating, ensuring minimal light loss and improved image quality.  The QHY163M comes with a built-in 128MB DDRII image buffer, which acts as a safeguard against data transmission issues, such as dropped frames. This buffer ensures stable communication between the camera and your computer, even during high-speed data transfers.
