The QHY600 Pro I Mono SBFL is a cooled monochrome astronomy camera using Sony IMX455. The scientific Pro I platform combines full-frame IMX455 imaging with dual 10 Gigabit fibre and USB 3.0 interfaces. This is the air-cooled SBFL Pro I configuration, with a 138 mm body and 14.5 mm backfocus. Camera Link belongs to Pro II and liquid cooling belongs to LQ variants.
QHY’s published ADC specification is Native 16-bit (0-65535 greyscale) A/D. A 2 GB DDR3 image buffer supports downloads through USB 3.0; dual 10 Gigabit fibre. Monochrome capture supports separate luminance, RGB and narrowband filter exposures. Full-frame and region-of-interest rates depend on readout mode and output format; the table below preserves those conditions.
Manufacturer cooling specification: Dual Stage TEC cooler: – Long exposures (> 1 second) Typically -35℃ below ambient – Short exposure (< 1second) high FPS, Typically -30℃ below ambient（Test temperature +20℃）. Cooling reduces thermal signal during long exposures, and performance depends on ambient conditions and capture rate. The camera has a protective-window heater and an internal humidity sensor.
The listed interface is 2-inch, M54, M48 or Nikon/Canon lens using the manufacturer-specified adapters, with backfocus of 14.5 mm, SBFL version. The short-backfocus body leaves additional room for filter wheels and adapter systems.
Use an external 12 V supply before connecting the USB data cable. QHY’s operating guide specifies 11–13.8 V at the camera; cable voltage drop must be included in the power budget. QHY Pro operating guide specifies the official 12 V 6 A power adapter Install the matching QHY All-in-One driver/SDK and compatible capture software.
