ASI 664 MC Color Camera

The new color camera ZWO ASI 664MC It can be considered, in a way, an improved version of the ASI 662MC, at least with regard to resolution, sensor size (= larger field/FOV) and read noise.

The ASI 664MC also offers a It has very high resolution , making it perfect for photographing the Moon and planets. But this uncooled camera is also capable of EAA (electronically assisted astronomy) and deep-sky astrophotography . This CMOS camera is equipped with a modern 1/1.8" sensor with 2704*1536 pixels. The Sony IMX664 sensor , in addition to modern back-illumination technology, offers a extremely sharp image with no amplifier glare (Amp-Glow) and impresses with its excellent resolution (2.9 µm pixels) and a high frame rate of 95 fps. Therefore, the application range of the ZWO ASI 664MC It includes, above all, detailed planetary photography and High-resolution images of the lunar surface , solar photography (always with the appropriate filter!), the brightest compact nebula images Planetary nebulae and globular clusters are possible. exposure times of up to 2000 seconds .
This camera model is also ideal for infrared shots (less influence of seeing) or as autoguiding.

The extremely high resolution, combined with a high frame rate 95 fps (RAW8 format), also allows Real-time observations of planets , as well as details of the sun and moon. The integrated clear glass filter prevents dust from entering the sensor. With the appropriate selection of contrast filters, fog filters, IR passband filters, or UV/IR blocking filters, you will have complete control over the light reaching the sensor.
