A the beginning I commission to manufacture connector between telescope and camera. I had also some problems INDI driver (but I fixed that problem). During last two month I had taken images of M31 , NGC7023 and many single frames of other objects with different camera settings. Advantages of camera:
– read modes (allow to more flexible gain setting)
– IMX455 K Grade sensor and 16-bit A/D
– strong and well made camera design
– good Linux support
Disadvantages:
– some problem with video mode on Linux and INDI
– during short exposition camera become hot quicker
I had earlier following QHY cameras: QHY10 / QHY168C / QHY247C. In my opinion the QHY600 is the best camera. I’m using it with TS APO 130mm, for this setup camera allow to:
– maximum usage of telescope capabilities – telescope works near angular resolution border
I don’t regret buying of this camera.
– give huge field of view 3×2 degrees
– join two worlds – on one image I have huge panorama with a wealth of details
