Description
Upgraded from the previous model with lower readout noise, a higher frame rate, and a matte finish, the ASI6200-P25 Pro Cooled Color Astronomy Camera from ZWO enables beautiful photos of deep-sky objects. Equipped with a full-frame Sony IMX455 color CMOS sensor, the camera achieves 61.2MP resolution with 0.8e read noise, 6.3 frames per second, and no amp glow. The two-stage thermoelectric cooler lowers the sensor temperature by 95 F below ambient, dramatically reducing dark current noise for a clean image even with very long exposures. The polyimide heater prevents condensation from interrupting your imaging, but you can also turn it off to save power. Speaking of power, you'll need a 12V 3A power supply, 5.5 x 2.1mm, center-positive, sold separately.Full-Frame 62MP Sensor Featuring a back-illuminated 36 x 24mm Sony sensor with a resolution of 9576 x 6388, the 3.76 pixel accommodates an impressive full well capacity of 51.4ke. The sensor boasts a quantum efficiency of 80%.Native 16-Bit Analog to Digital Converter Delivers true 16-bit ADC with a dynamic range output of 14 stops. This produces high image sharpness and contrast, and the contrast gradients are smoother and more natural-looking.Two-Stage TEC Cooling The sensor can be cooled to 95 F below the ambient temperature, holding down dark current noise.High Conversion Gain Mode HCG mode comes on automatically when gain is set to 100, and it keeps readout noise very low while maintaining the 14-stop dynamic range.No Amp Glow Using zero-glow amp circuitry, the camera eliminates amp glow a weak infrared light source often created by traditional CMOS sensors, sometimes seen in the corners of uncalibrated images. You won't have to worry about it, even during high-gain, long-exposure imaging.Anti-Dew Heater A polyimide heater sits on the top of the protective window, preventing condensation that could disrupt your imaging. It consumes about 5 watts and can be disabled to conserve power.USB 3.0 & 512MB DDR3 Memory The ASI6200MC-P25 is equipped with a USB 3.0 transmission interface and a built-in 512MB DDR3 cache to ensure stable and secure data transmission. Under long exposure, it effectively avoids frame dropping and greatly reduces the glow effect caused by slow reading speed.
