QHY461M PRO [MONOCHROME]

The QHY461M Pro is an ultra-high-resolution scientific camera designed for astronomical, optical, and laboratory applications requiring extremely detailed images. Equipped with a full-frame (44 × 33 mm), monochrome, back-illuminated (BSI) Sony IMX461 CMOS sensor, this camera delivers a stunning 102 Megapixel resolution (11664 x 8750 pixels), with a 3.76 µm pixel size and a native 16-bit ADC.

Thanks to its BSI architecture, the sensor maximizes quantum efficiency (QE), reaching up to 90% at its peak. The large 2GB DDR3 memory buffer that ensures stable data transfer, avoiding data loss during high-volume acquisitions..

The QHY461M Pro is optimized for deep-sky astrophotography, precision scientific imaging, and professional documentation tasks. It offers support for special capture modes such as Extended Full Well and High Gain, allowing the camera to be adjusted to maximize full-well capacity or reduce read noise according to the user's needs.

Its design includes a hermetic seal with anti-condensation technology, a heating system to prevent frost on the optical window.

This camera represents the latest in CMOS sensors for astronomy and science, positioning itself as a tool of choice in observatories and laboratories around the world.

The QHY461M Pro stands out as one of the most advanced scientific CMOS cameras available today. What makes it exceptional is not just the staggering 102 Megapixel resolution, but how it combines this ultra-high resolution with low noise performance, deep cooling, and true 16-bit native ADC—a rare combination in the field of astronomical and scientific imaging.
