Altair Hypercam 26C / 26M Colour or Monochrome APS-C TEC 16Bit Astronomy Camera
The new standard in astro imaging, Altair Hypercam 26 uses the latest 16bit Sony IMX571 sensor with ultra low read noise and super high quantum efficiency in a large APS-C format.
The Hypercam 26 is the clear choice for the serious astro imager, outperforming CCD cameras in every respect both in read noise and sensitivity with an incredible Peak Quantum Efficiency of over 90%.
Combined with the lowest read noise of any CMOS astronomy camera from 0.79e- in HCG mode and a maximum full well depth of 51.3Ke, the Hypercam 26 is the ultimate APS-C format astronomy camera.
The camera sensor is guaranteed not to frost for two years** and it has a heated AR coated optical window with variable power settings.
For many, this may be the final camera to own in their astro imaging journey, and in terms of read noise, to date, it outperforms any DSLR or CMOS astronomy camera we know of using the same sensor.
