ASI 676 MC Color Camera

The new ASI676 M It is a camera with a square IMX sensor and an extremely high resolution of 12 MP.
It's perfect for photographing meteors and observing the entire sky. The sensor's square format makes creating mosaics easier and more efficient. The high resolution delivers sharp details of the sun, moon, and planets.

Sony IMX square sensor
One of the biggest advantages of the ASI676 MC's square format is that it significantly simplifies the entire mosaicking process. Furthermore, the square sensor makes the ASI676 MC more compatible with different types of lenses, such as fisheye and wide-angle lenses. Therefore, the ASI676 MC is better suited for meteor photography or all-sky observation.

Areas of application
This camera is equipped with a modern 1.6" sensor with 3552 x 3552 pixels. In addition to the advanced Starvis 2 technology (with back-illumination), the IMX676 delivers an extremely sharp image without amp glow, but its most outstanding feature is its very high resolution of 2.0 µm pixels and its relatively high frame rate. Therefore, the camera is particularly well-suited for the following applications:

• Meteor photography
• General photograph of the entire sky
• Detailed planetary photography
• Details of the lunar surface
• Details of the sun (with the appropriate filter)
• Use as an autoguiding camera (it has a connection for autoguiding)
• EAA (electronically assisted astronomy) for planets, the Moon, and the Sun

Lunar and planetary photography:
Thanks to the fine 2.0 µm pixels, a very high resolution is achieved from f/8, making the use of Barlow systems or converters unnecessary.
