ZWO Asi676mc

The ZWO ASI676MC is a unique color camera with square sensor, designed for all-sky observation, meteor hunting and high-resolution planetary photography. Thanks to the modern Sony IMX676 sensor with Starvis 2 technology, this uncooled camera offers an exceptional combination of sensitivity, speed and sharpness.

The sensor is completely amp glow-free and features back-illumination. With 3552 x 3552 pixels and a pixel size of just 2.0 µm, the camera delivers sharp and detailed images of the moon, sun and planets without requiring a Barlow lens. The square sensor also makes the ASI676MC particularly suitable for mosaic imaging and wide-angle optics such as fisheye lenses.
