ZWO ASI 2600 MC DUO Color
This Sony sensor is the first sensor for astronomical cameras to use the 16bit APS-C format
Unlike its younger sister ASI071, this new camera has a backlit sensor (BSI) which allows it to achieve QE up to 80% and a new level of grayscale previously unimaginable!
Outstanding low light performance SNR1s: 0.14lx
This result is achieved by using a large optical system and expanding the area per pixel to 3.76 microns; which makes the IMX571CJK sensor ideal for astronomical applications where high performance is required even in low illumination.
SONY 26.0MP sensor with 28.3 mm diagonal
The SONY IMX571 sensor has a diagonal of 28.3 mm and 3.76x3.76 micron pixels, the APS-C format is a new sensor that is even more performing, with 26MP and a resolution of 6248x4176.
With this sensor it is possible to photograph an entire cluster of galaxies and show the details of the single ones at the same time!
The chamber also features TEC Cooling with a thermal delta of the ambient temperature down to -40°.
Technical features:
- Two-stage regulation with thermal delta of 40° with respect to the environment
- Electronic shutter: no vibration
- Extremely low read noise: 1.0e @24db gain 3.3e @lowest gain
- 16bit ADC: provide real 16bit Dynamic range
- USB 3.0: Ultra-high frame rate download, avoid data loss during download
- USB 2.0 HUB: Double USB 2.0 port useful for connecting the driving camera
- Window with AR coated
- Compatible with Windows-Mac-Linux
- Backfocus: 17.5mm
- Integrated guide with SSC2210 monochrome sensor with 4x4 micron pixels
512MB DDR4 internal memory so you don't miss a single frame!
Thanks to the brand new 512MB DDR4 internal memory you will not lose any information even via the USB 2.0 outputs!
FULL WELL HUGE CAPACITY - Up to 82000e
The new ASI2600MC DUO is able to reach a Full Well Capacity of 50000e, however it is possible to use the built-in function to bring the FW to 82000e!
Even bright stars don't saturate with long exposures!
This camera can achieve higher SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) with just one exposure.
16-bit CMOS
The new ASI2600 mounts a 16bit Sony CMOS sensor, thanks to this new technology we get a better dynamic range scale
AMP Glow? No thank you!
Unlike the other cameras, the ASI2600 completely zeroed out any kind of sensor AMP Glow
