The new QHY294C Pro is a 4\/3-inch back-illuminated camera, equipped with Sony IMX294 (Color) and IMX 492<\/a> (Mono) sensor. The 294 Pro has 11.7 MP at 4.63um, 14-bits A\/D. The IMX294 and IMX492 chips have 46.8 million 2.315um pixels, which Sony 2\u00d72 bins on-chip to create the sensor\u2019s 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 \u201clocked\u201d 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.<\/p>\n

The QHY294C Pro CMOS sensor has a dual gain mode, HGC (high gain) and LGC (Low gain).\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n

One benefit of the back-illuminated CMOS structure is improved full well capacity. In a typical front-illuminated sensor, photons from the target entering the photosensitive layer of the sensor must first pass through the metal wiring that is embedded just above the photosensitive layer. The wiring structure reflects some of the photons and reduces the efficiency of the sensor.<\/p>\n

BSI<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the back- illuminated sensor the light is allowed to enter the photosensitive surface from the reverse side. In this case the sensor\u2019s embedded wiring structure is below the photosensitive layer. As a result, more incoming photons strike the photosensitive layer and more electrons are generated and captured in the pixel well. This ratio of photon to electron production is called quantum efficiency. The higher the quantum efficiency the more efficient the sensor is at converting photons to electrons and hence the more sensitive the sensor is to capturing an image of something dim.<\/p>\n

TRUE RAW Data<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the DSLR implementation there is a RAW image output, but typically it is not completely RAW.\u00a0 Some evidence of noise reduction and hot pixel removal is still visible on close inspection.\u00a0 This can have a negative effect on the image for astronomy such as the \u201cstar eater\u201d effect.\u00a0 However,\u00a0 QHY Cameras offer TRUE RAW IMAGE OUTPUT and produces an image comprised of the original signal only, thereby maintaining the maximum flexibility for post-acquisition astronomical image processing programs and other scientific imaging applications.<\/p>\n

Anti-Dew Technology<\/strong><\/p>\n

Based on almost 20-year cooled camera design experience, The QHY cooled camera has implemented the fully dew control solutions. The optic window has built-in dew heater and the chamber is protected from internal humidity condensation. An electric heating board for the chamber window can prevent the formation of dew and the sensor itself is kept dry with our silicon gel tube socket design for control of humidity within the sensor chamber.<\/p>\n

Cooling<\/strong><\/p>\n

In addition to dual stage TE cooling, QHYCCD implements proprietary technology in hardware to control the dark current noise.<\/p>\n
