ZWO ASI178MC CMOS Color Camera
AED 995.00
Back-Illuminated CMOS Image Sensor: The ASI178MC features a back-illuminated CMOS sensor with 14-bit analog-to-digital conversion (ADC). This sensor has a size of 1/1.8″ and a resolution of 6.4 million pixels (IMX178). It utilizes SONY STARVIS and Exmor R technology, resulting in excellent sensitivity and low read noise (2.2 e) .
Astrophotography and Microscopy: With its high sensitivity and low read noise, the ASI178MC is well-suited for both astronomy and microscopy applications. Whether you’re capturing celestial objects or examining tiny specimens, this camera delivers impressive performance
USB 3.0 Port: The camera supports USB 3.0 connectivity, providing a bandwidth of 5 Gbps. At full resolution (6.4 megapixels), it can achieve frame rates of up to 30 fps (14-bit in normal mode) or 60 fps (10-bit in high-speed mode)
ST4 Port: The ST4 port allows you to connect the ASI178MC to an auto guide port on your mount for guiding purposes during astrophotography.
All-Sky Lens Included: The camera comes with a 2.5mm all-sky lens, providing a nearly 170° view of the sky .
