The 294 Pro has 11.7 MP at 4.63um, 14-bits A\/D.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-animation=\"fadeInUp\" class=\"cpbjnrboxz_txt revealOnScroll animated fadeInUp\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-animation=\"fadeInUp\"\u003ePixel Size | Expanded Pixel Mode 11.7MP to 46.8MP\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe IMX294 and IMX492 chips have 46.8 million 2.315um pixels, which Sony 2x2 bins on-chip to create the sensor's advertised 11.7 million 4.63um pixel array. The QHY294 Pro series camera is capable of locking and unlocking the on-chip binning to provide two readout modes. The first mode reads the sensor \"locked\" mode to produce 11.6mp images with 4.63um pixel size and 14 bits per pixel. The second read mode unlocks the binning to produce 46.8mp images with 2.315um pixel size at 12 bits per pixel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-animation=\"fadeInUp\"\u003eHigh QE | Low Readout Noise\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePreliminary tests indicate that this sensor will be an outstanding performer with extraordinarily high QE, low read noise, and low dark current. The 294 has 6.8 to 6.9e- read noise at the lowest gain, 1.6e- read noise near unity gain, and 1.0e- read noise at highest gain, with great dynamic range! Pricing will be announced at a later date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-animation=\"fadeInUp\"\u003eMultiple Kits For Choice | Easiest way to match adapters\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe QHY294M is available in multiple kits, like it’s compatible with the new CFW3 filter wheel and optional OAG, more importantly with adapters that will provide 55mm backfocus and M48 adapters required by many optical systems like MPCC.

The QHY294 Pro will switch the two modes automatically when the gain is set to 1600 you will get the benefits of the ultra low read noise (1e- to 1.6e-) of the HGC mode and a full well capacity of about 14.5ke- at the switch point setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAnti-Dew Technology\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe QHY294 Pro benefits from more than a decade of cooled camera design experience. QHYCCD has implemented full dew control solutions. The optical window has a built-in dew heater and the CMOS chamber is protected from internal humidity condensation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFlexible Adapters\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe QHY294 Pro has the same body design and mechanical interface and the QHY163. It has a short back focal distance allowing the use of QHYCCD's 0.5mm-27mm spacers (step size 0.5mm) for flexibility in setting up your optical train.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e256MB DDR3 Image Buffer\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe QHY294 Pro has an internal 256MByte high speed DDR3 image buffer. This is more than enough for one frame and it significantly reduces any issue of lost frames due to a busy computer CPU or slow USB communication packet errors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup span=\"2\" width=\"85\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd align=\"left\" height=\"62\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eModel\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eQHY294M PRO\u003cbr\u003eQHY294C PRO\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd align=\"left\" height=\"137\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCOMS Sensor\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSONY IMX492 BSI CMOS  (Monochrome version)\u003cbr\u003eSONY IMX294 BSI CMOS  (Color version)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd align=\"left\" height=\"32\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAR Coating On Sensor\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd align=\"left\" height=\"62\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePixel Size\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e4.63um*4.63um \/ 2.314um*2.315um\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd align=\"left\" height=\"122\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEffective Pixel Area\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e4164*2796 (standard 11.6mega pixel mode)\u003cbr\u003e8340*5644 (“unlock” 47mega pixel mode)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd align=\"left\" height=\"32\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEffective Pixels\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e11.6 mega and 47 mega \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd align=\"left\" height=\"32\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEffective Image Area\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e19.28mm*12.95mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd align=\"left\" height=\"17\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFullwell\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e65ke-\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd align=\"left\" height=\"182\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAD Sample Depth\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e14bit (output as 16bit and 8bit)  in Standard 11.6mega pixel Mode\u003cbr\u003e12bit (ouput as 16bit and 8bit)  in “Unlock” 47mega pixel Mode\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd align=\"left\" height=\"32\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSensor Size\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTypical 4\/3inch\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIn the Box\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCamera\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eManual \u0026amp; Warranty\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQHYCCD 2-Years Warranty\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"QHYCCD","offers":[{"title":"QHY294M Only","offer_id":45552904863973,"sku":"QHY-QHY294M-P","price":1845.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"QHY294M+CFW3M-US","offer_id":45552904896741,"sku":"QHY-QHY294M-P-Combo1","price":2102.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"QHY294M+CFW3M-US+OAGM","offer_id":45552904929509,"sku":"QHY-QHY294M-P-Combo2","price":2344.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6245\/2965\/files\/qhy294m-pro-cooled-monochrome-cmos-camera-astronomy-plus-1_85bd0e0e-b1fa-4804-aa0f-686a2dff3fec.png?v=1690486929","url":"https:\/\/istronomyplus.com\/products\/qhy294m-pro-cooled-monochrome-cmos-camera-qhy294m-p","provider":"Astronomy Plus – Telescopes \u0026 Astrophotography Canada","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
