The ZWO ASI6200MM Pro (monochrome) belongs to the absolute top class in astrophotography. Thanks to the full-frame Sony IMX455 sensor of 43 mm (36 x 24 mm), you can capture an enormous field of view in extremely high quality. Ideal for detailed photos of deep-sky objects such as nebulae and galaxies – even with fast telescopes like an apochromat or Newton f/4.
What makes this camera unique is the combination of exceptionally high quantum efficiency (QE ~91%), a dynamic range of no less than 16 bits, and a completely amp glow-free sensor. Combined with active Peltier cooling down to -35°C below ambient temperature, this delivers low-noise and razor-sharp images – even with long exposure times.
Key Features
- Full-frame Sony IMX455 sensor (36 x 24 mm) – maximum field of view and detail
- Monochrome version (MM) – maximum control with LRGB and narrowband filters
- Amp glow-free sensor – no disturbing glow during long exposures
- Peltier cooling to -35°C below ambient – stable performance and minimal noise
- Pixel size of 3.76 µm – high resolution and optimal sampling
- 16-bit ADC – extremely large dynamic range and subtle transitions
- USB 3.0 and 512 MB DDR3 buffer – fast, stable data transfer
Applications
✓ Deep-sky astrophotography (nebulae, galaxies, clusters) ✓ Wide-field imaging with full-frame telescopes and lenses ✓ Moon and planetary photography with extreme detail ✓ Infrared and narrowband imaging with full control ✓ Scientific applications thanks to 16-bit precision
The monochrome ASI6200MM Pro is ideal for use with LRGB and narrowband filters such as H-alpha or OIII. Thanks to its 16-bit dynamics and high sensitivity, this camera ranks among the most versatile and professional models on the market.
