Description

ZWO ASI1600MM Pro USB3.0 Cooled Monochrome Astronomy Camera

Capture stellar monochrome images with the ZWO ASI1600MM Pro USB3.0 Cooled Monochrome Astronomy Camera! This iteration of the ASI1600 line brings the Panasonic micro 4/3 MN34230ALJ sensor and cooling of the ASI1600MM Cool to a higher level of performance. With 16.4 megapixels, this camera is capable of creating high-resolution images; and with a 3.8 μm pixel size it is an excellent pairing for a wide variety of scopes in use today. This sensor is backed by a two stage TEC Cooler and 256 MB image buffer, allowing you to push the performance of this sensor and smooth out the data stream for clear images and less slowdown. To ease cable management, this camera additionally features two USB 2.0 ports which can connect your telescope mounted accessories to your computer through the same USB 3.0 interface the main imaging camera communicates over. Powering this advanced tech can be done via the industry standard 5.5x2.1 mm 12V DC power port.

Color, Mono or Polarized Camera Color, Mono or Polarized Camera One of the main considerations when choosing an astrophotography camera is whether it comes with a color or monochrome (black & white) sensor. There is a large selection to choose from either way, although a good number of relatively inexpensive beginner imaging cameras often come in color only. While a color camera may be easier to master, a monochrome astro-imaging camera is nice because you can shoot in black and white, or you can add an external color filter wheel to the system and image in color. In fact, some monochrome cameras come with an internal filter wheel! Regardless of whether the filter wheel is internal or external, most of the time you will need to buy the filters themselves separately. That is usually best, however, because there is a huge selection of imaging filters to choose from, including the basic LRGB (Luminance, Red, Green & Blue) filter set as well as narrowband filters that allow you to explore particular wavelengths of light alone or as a group. While this is a huge subject, here is the takeaway: A color camera is a good choice if you want to end up with color images but don't want the added expense and learning curve of a monochrome camera and filter wheel. However, a monochrome camera will grow with you as you add accessories to expand its capabilities.	Monochrome
