Description

An excellent all-purpose camera with small pixel size, high frame rate and low readout noise.

This camera offers a back-illuminated Sony CMOS sensor camera at a very reasonable price. This technology combines the excellent noise-reduction characteristics of a CMOS sensor with the high light sensitivity of a CCD chip. Technically, 'back illuminated' means that the wiring of the pixels is carried on the surface of the sensor facing away from the incident light. This results in no shadowing on the active area. The advantage is high sensitivity that makes even the uncooled models from this series suitable for deep sky astrophotography.

Other features

- extremely adaptable - the distance from the T2 thread to the sensor is 12.5 millimetres

- high sensitivity in H-alpha and near infrared. An IR blocking filter should be used if this is not required.

- large sensor for beautiful high-resolution, wide-view images - thanks to small pixel size.

Supported resolutions and frame rates (fps = frames per second):

USB2.0:

- 1936×1096: 20,4fps

- 1280×960: 35,3fps

- 640×480: 141,5fps

- 320×240: 355,9fps

- 2X2Bin: 968×548: 20,4fps

USB3.0 12Bit ADC:

- 1936×1096: 82.2fps

- 1280×960: 93.6fps

- 640×480: 184fps

- 320×240: 355.9fps

- 2X2Bin :968×548: 82.2fps

In addition to the camera and the adapters, a USB cable, an ST4 auto-guider cable and a CD with drivers for PC, Mac, Linux are also included.

A 2.5mm wide-angle lens is also included. This allows the camera to be used without any additional optics and also for all-sky exposures

Product review & video

Hey everyone, my name is Mack Murdock here with OPT and today we're going to talk about the new and upcoming ZWO ASI 2600mm Pro and how it compares to its older brother the ZWO ASI 1600mm Pro. The 1600 is one of the highest selling astronomy cameras and has been for a long time and for good reason. It's a great camera, but is it worth the upgrade? Well let's find out! But first if you enjoy the content we put out please just destroy that like button! Click that good looking thumbs up until it turns blue. Trust me it's more fun than it looks - Here I’ll do it with you. It helps the channel out and gets this video and the knowledge of space out to more people. And if you're not subscribed already subscribe now and hit the bell for notifications so you never miss a video! Alright, so let's talk about cameras. We do not have the ASI 2600 at the moment to show you
