The ZWO ASI2600MM Pro Mono is a powerful monochrome astro camera of the latest generation. This camera features the Sony IMX571 CMOS sensor and offers everything needed for professional deep-sky photography in black and white. Thanks to its APS-C format, you can capture large fields of view with unprecedented sharpness and detail.
One of the most notable features of the ZWO ASI2600MM Pro Mono is its exceptional light sensitivity. Thanks to back-illuminated technology and a QE of 80-90%, you can capture even the faintest nebula structures. The low read noise and native 16-bit ADC ensure high precision in dynamics and tonal transitions.
Key Features
- Sony IMX571 sensor (mono, 26 MP) – 3.76 µm pixels, 16-bit ADC, dynamic range of 14 f-stops
- QE 80-90% – extremely light-sensitive, perfect for faint deep-sky objects
- No amplifier glow – thanks to optimized buffer memory and fast readout
- USB 3.0 & 512 MB DDR3 RAM – fast and stable data transfer, also usable with USB 2.0
- Two-stage TEC cooling – up to 35°C below ambient temperature
- Robust Pro housing – prevents internal condensation thanks to screw locking
Applications
✓ Deep-sky imaging (nebulae, galaxies) with short exposures and high gain
✓ Astrophotography with fast telescopes such as apochromats, Newtonians, and RASA/HyperStar systems
✓ Moon and planetary imaging with high resolution and extreme sharpness
