ZWO ASI1600MM Pro 16 MP CMOS Monochrome Astronomy Camera with USB 3.0 # ASI1600MM-P
Brand: ZWO
The ZWO ASI1600MM-Pro is a versatile and highly sensitive monochrome astronomy camera for deep-sky imaging, lunar and solar imaging, and electronically-assisted astronomy (EAA) through a telescope. The camera incorporates a large state-of-the-art 4/3” CMOS sensor with 16 megapixels and high quantum efficiency to help you extract maximum detail in your astrophotos while keeping noise and exposure time as low as possible. The camera also features TEC-cooling to reduce sensor noise for superb performance when imaging faint astronomical objects. The camera includes an internal 256MB DDR3 memory buffer for quick and stable data transfer. The USB3.0 port offers a fast capture rate of 14.7 frames-per-second at the full resolution of 4656x3520, and much faster rates at lower resolutions. NOTE: This camera is best used with a refractor or reflector telescope mounted on a solid equatorial mount that can accurately track the motion of the sky. It is not intended for taking images through the eyepiece of a telescope. This camera produces monochrome images, but it can be used to produce color images with an astronomical LRGB color filter set and standard image processing techniques. You may also require additional accessories such as an autoguider or focal reducer to get the best results. All software and drivers for this camera are available from the manufacturer’s website.
ZWO ASI1600MM-Pro cooled monochrome astronomy camera for capturing high-resolution images of deep-sky objects such as nebulae, supernova remnants, galaxies, and the Moon and Sun through a telescope on a motorized equatorial mount (solar imaging requires a solar filter, not included); Can be used to produce color images with an astronomical color filter set and standard image processing techniques
Advanced CMOS sensor with 4656x3520 (16 megapixel) resolution and 3.8-micron pixel size to capture fine detail in astronomical objects with good signal-to-noise ratio; High quantum efficiency to help reduce exposure time; Integrated TEC cooling reduces sensor temperature to 35C below ambient to enable low-noise imaging of fainter deep-sky objects
Fast USB3.0 transfer at up to 14.7 frames per second at maximum resolution; 256MB DDR3 buffer for quick and stable data transfer and reduced amp glow; includes separate USB2.0 hub for powering accessories such as autoguiding camera and electronic focuser (not included)
Compact, lightweight, and attractive red anodized CNC aluminum body stands up to heavy field use; Connects to 1.25” and 2” telescope focusers with included T-threaded 1.25” nosepiece and 2” adapter
Camera electronics draw power from your computer’s USB3.0 interface, however a separate 12V@3A power supply (not included) is required to power the TEC cooler; All software and drivers are available from the manufacturer’s website; compatible with Mac OS X and Windows (32-bit and 64-bit) XP and later
