QHY16200A/IC16200A uses a unique APS-H CCD sensor, a product of close collaboration between QHYCCD and Sensor Supplier .
This sensor is specially designed and manufactured with amateur astronomers in mind who needs mono sensor larger than APS-C. APS-H Format CCD Sensor
The effective image area is 27mm*21.6mm. To compare with the QHY8L APS-C format 23.4*15.8, the APS-H sensor is significantly bigger.
The reason to make such a sensor is due to no such mono sensor between 8300(4/3inch) to 11002(full size).
This sensor is 16mega pixels. The APS-H format is suitable for most telescope and also suitable for 2inch fitlers.
The pixel size of this sensor is 6.0um*6.0um.It silightly bigger than the 8300's 5.4um.
The QE is expected to similar or higher than 8300.
The 37ke fullwell is much higher than the 25.5ke of 8300.
