The ZWO ASI2600MC/MM Pro is the standard in modern astrophotography: extremely light-sensitive, cool to -35°C and equipped with Sony's IMX571 CMOS sensor.
Key features
- Sony IMX571 CMOS sensor (26 MP) - with 3.76 μm pixels and APS-C size (23.5 × 15.7 mm)
- Very high QE (80-90%) thanks to back-illuminated sensor - ideal for faint nebulae and galaxies
- 16-bit ADC - image quality comparable to CCD, but with the speed and sensitivity of CMOS
- DDR3 buffer memory (512 MB) - Stable data transfer, less amp glow when using USB 2.0
- Peltier cooling down to -35 °C below ambient temperature - less noise, sharper shots
- Low noise level (1.0 - 3.3 e-) and high Full Well Capacity up to 50,000 e-
- Compatible with T2 connection and suitable for use with apochromats, Newtons, HyperStar and more
Applications
✓ Deep-sky photography: Nebulae, galaxies and clusters visible in seconds thanks to high sensitivity
✓ Moon and planets: Short exposures freeze seeing; high resolution shows fine detail
✓ Video astronomy & lucky imaging
✓ Astrophotography with short exposure times at high gain - less prone to guiding errors
