The ZWO ASI2600MC Air presents a sophisticated blend of high-resolution imaging and intelligent control, perfect for both entry-level astrophotographers and seasoned astrophotography enthusiasts looking for an upgrade to their deepsky camera.
This camera incorporates the APS-C sized IMX571 sensor, offering a total of 26 megapixels with a pixel size of 3.76µm, highly sensitive and offering a high resolution of 6248x4176. Its design ensures a large full well capacity of 50ke, which can be extended to 73ke, allowing for excellent dynamic range and reduced risk of saturation. This design also features back-illumination for zero amp glow.
Capable of capturing up to 10.8 frames per second at a resolution of 1920x1080, this camera is well-suited for both planetary and deep-sky imaging by offering fast frame rates to capture transient astronomical events.
The camera features dual-band Wi-Fi connectivity, supporting both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks for robust and flexible wireless control, alongside Bluetooth connectivity for seamless interface with devices such as the ZWO AM3/AM5.
It is equipped with a substantial 256GB of eMMC storage and 2GB of DDR memory, which allows for extensive data capture and storage, reducing the need for immediate data transfer during long imaging sessions.
The guide sensor in this camera is the SC2210 1/1.8", shared with the highly popular ZWO ASI220MM Mini. The QE peaks at 92% at 500nm, enhancing its sensitivity, particularly in low-light conditions, and The boasts a remarkably low read noise of just 0.6e, which is crucial for accurate guiding.
Furthermore, experience the best of Smart App Control. The camera is managed via the ASIAIR app, which provides a straightforward interface for controlling the camera’s guiding, imaging functions, and the mount. This app simplifies complex setup procedures, making astrophotography accessible to beginners while maintaining the precision required by advanced users.
Live stacking is supported by the camera, allowing users to view and adjust images in real time. This feature enables on-the-go adjustments to brightness and contrast and facilitates the immediate sharing of images via social media or astronomy community platforms.
This ZWO ASI2600MC Air Wireless Smart Camera is it's in all-in-one hub - the camera includes four USB 2.0 ports and a Type-C port, offering a wide range of connectivity options for additional devices. It is equipped with three DC 12V 3A power outputs, providing ample power for additional devices needed during complex astrophotography setups.
