ZWO ASI676MC USB3.0 Colour CMOS Camera with Autoguider Port
Introducing the ASI676MC, the all-sky camera featuring a unique square 1/1.6" image sensor and a super high resolution of 12MP! It is perfectly suited for meteor recording and full-sky surveillance. The square format facilitates easier composition, making mosaic stitch simpler and more efficient, and the high resolution brings you clear details of the Sun and our Moon. With this camera, you may start your marvelous journey to explore the boundless night sky.
Why square format?
One of the biggest benefits of the ASI67MC's square format is that it makes the whole mosaic construction process much easier by eliminating the need to consider the difference between the long and wide sides of the format during mosaic stitching.
Not only that, the square format also makes the ASI676MC more compatible with various types of lenses such as fisheye and wide-angle. Thus, the ASI676MC is more suitable for tasks such as meteor recording and full sky surveillance.
STARVIS 2
STARVIS is a sensor technology developed by Sony that surpasses the sensitivity of the human eye. STARVIS 2 is an advancement of this, supporting an even higher dynamic range. With this technology, the ASI676MC exhibits lower readout noise and dark current, along with significantly enhanced sensitivity in the near-infrared spectrum.
No amp glow
The ASI676MC does not have any amp glow, no matter how long the exposure is and how high you set the gain value.
256MB DDR3
The ASI676MC is equipped with a USB 3.0 interface and a built-in 256MB DDR3 cache to ensure stable and secure data transmission.
Higher QE, lower readout noise
The camera has a built-in HCG mode, which can effectively reduce readout noise at high gain. This allows the camera to maintain the same high dynamic range as it does at low gain. When the gain is 180, the HCG mode is automatically turned on. The readout noise is as low as 0.56e, and the dynamic range can still reach a level close to 11 stops.
IR-Cut coated window
The ASI676MC is equipped with an IR-cut coated window in front of the sensor, with a diameter of 21mm and a thickness of 1.1mm. It effectively reduces infrared interference and improves image quality.
