The QHY268M is a 26 Megapixel cooled, back-illuminated, monochrome CMOS camera based on the Sony IMX571 sensor with native 16-bit A/D and 3.76um pixels. The camera has only 0.7 electron of read noise at its highest gain and 6.8 FPS at full resolution readout speed, making it ideal for deep-sky astrophotography with exceptional sensitivity and low noise performance. The two-stage cooling system allows you to reduce the chip's temperature -35°C below ambient temperature for >1 second exposures and -30°C below ambient in higher frame rate scenarios. The round body and sensor size make this camera ideal for Hyperstar and RASA systems.
