    Image Area Layout QHY600 can output the whole image with the optic black area and overscan area. The total image size includes the Optic black area is 9600*6422. The optic black area is on the left of the image and the overscan area is on bottom of the image.
  • Page 5 Input Voltage Requirement The QHY600 requires the input voltage between 11V to 13.8V. If the input voltage is too low it will cause the camera not working or reboot if the TEC power percent is high. So please make sure the input voltage arrived to the camera is enough.

    QHY600 05 Description of Earth Interface One back case of the QHY600, There is the USB3.0 port, 4PIN QHYCFW port, 12V power input port and two 10 Gigabit Optic Fiber port （Professional version and early bird version only) One side of the camera front part, there is a silicone gel tube socket. Normally it is filled with a screw with the O-ring.

The QHY600 has zero amplifer glow. So that you cannot see any glow in long exposure time. You may need to set the temperature options for the target temperature for auto temperature regulated mode, or set the target PWM percent for consitance TEC power mode.

    2. How to clean the CMOS sensor and optical window? If you find dust on the CMOS sensor, you can first unscrew the front half of the QHY600 and then clean the CMOS sensor with the cleaning kit for the SLR camera sensor. Because the QHY600's CMOS sensor has an AR coating, care must be taken during the cleaning process.
  • Page 19 The periodic horizontal banding cannot be removed with stacking so it will bring some problem for the image. For QHY600, by adjust the USB traffic in both Single Frame mode and Live Frame mode, you can adjust the frequency point of the CMOS sensor driver and it can optimize the horizontal banding appeared on the image.
