ZWO ASI678MC: 8 megapixel planetary detail without Barlow<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The ASI678MC brings high resolution to planet and moon photography: the Sony IMX678 sensor delivers 3840 x 2160 pixels (8.3 MP) with a pixel size of just 2.0 micrometers. This fine sampling means you'll no longer need a Barlow lens on many telescopes to achieve maximum detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compared to its predecessor, the ASI178MC, the readout noise has significantly decreased, amplifier glow has completely disappeared, and sensitivity in the infrared has increased: three improvements that are immediately visible in your stacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Small pixels, big detail<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Pixels of 2.0 micrometers already sample fine planetary details at modest focal ratios around f\/10. This keeps the setup fast and exposures short, two prerequisites for successful lucky imaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With 47.5 frames per second at full resolution and 4K video format, the camera is also suitable for moon videos and real-time display.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

High Gain Mode in infrared<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

High Gain Mode activates at a gain value of 182 or higher: merk less noise and greater dynamic range\u2014precisely in the range where planetary photographers work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The increased infrared sensitivity allows for IR recordings that reduce the influence of atmospheric turbulence. For solar imaging, always use: exclusively with a suitable solar filter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
