The ultimate Full Frame 16bit astro imaging camera with latest Sony 61 mega-pixel IMX455 BSI sensor.
Ultra low read noise and super high quantum efficiency in a large 36x24mm format.

The Hypercam AA61MFX is the ultimate choice for the serious astro imaging enthusiast who wants a full frame camera which will outperform any CCD camera in both in read noise and sensitivity.

Performance is exemplary: An incredible Peak Quantum Efficiency of over 90%, extremely low read noise in HCG + Ultra modes, and a maximum full well depth of 110.4Ke- in LCG mode (50.8Ke in HCG mode). This means you can get above the noise threshold quickly, maximising signal with minimal exposure times.

The camera sensor chamber is guaranteed not to frost for two years in normal use, and has a heated optical window with variable power settings.

In terms of read noise and sensitivity, this camera outperforms any full frame DSLR using the same sensor, or CCD astronomy camera we know of.
