Description
ZWO ASI 678MC Advanced Planetary Astrophotography Camera
The ZWO ASI 678MC is a cutting-edge astronomical camera meticulously engineered for planetary astrophotography enthusiasts. It serves as an enhanced successor to the ASI 178MC, providing improved noise reduction and eliminating the amp-glow effect for clearer, more precise images.
At the heart of this compact device lies the color Sony IMX678 sensor, renowned for its back-illuminated (BI) design and incorporation of the advanced Sony Starvis 2™ technology. This state-of-the-art sensor is celebrated for its exceptional sensitivity across both visible and near-infrared spectra, coupled with minimal readout noise of just 1 e at 8 dB amplification. With its sophisticated 12-bit analog-to-digital converter, the camera guarantees stunning results, regardless of the shooting conditions.
Encased in a durable yet lightweight aluminum housing, the ZWO ASI 678MC is instantly recognizable by its signature ZWO red finish, making it both a functional and stylish addition to any astrophotography setup.
Key Features of the ZWO ASI 678MC Camera:
- Specifically designed for planetary astrophotography with a small pixel diameter and minimal readout noise.
- Powered by the Sony IMX678 matrix, leveraging the latest Sony Starvis 2™ technology while being free from the amp-glow effect.
- Features a 12-bit ADC converter, ensuring high dynamic range and detailed imaging.
