Visit ZWO ASI2600MM Air is a smart monochrome astronomical camera designed for astrophotographers looking for a high image quality, high resolution, and easy installation. It combines imaging, guiding, and control functions into a single compact unit, while offering wireless connectivity. This design significantly reduces the amount of equipment needed around the telescope without sacrificing the performance required for advanced astrophotography.
Designed especially for fans of high-resolution black-and-white photography, the ASI2600MM Air combines a high-performance APS-C sensor, ample memory, and smart features tailored to modern imaging sessions. This makes it a particularly attractive solution for both fixed installations and mobile astrophotography.
At the heart of the ASI2600MM Air is the Sony IMX571 monochrome sensor in APS-C format. With a resolution of 26 megapixels, it captures a wealth of detail and provides an excellent foundation for creating high-resolution monochrome images of the deep sky.
The sensor features a 16-bit conversion, with high quantum efficiency and a extremely low operating noise. These features make it possible to preserve the faint signals captured during long exposures and to accurately reproduce the fine structures found in nebulae, galaxies, and star clusters.
Thanks to its monochrome architecture, the camera is particularly well-suited for use with LRGB filters and narrow-band imaging. This makes it possible to create detailed images by combining different layers and to take full advantage of the information captured by the sensor.
One of the main advantages of the ASI2600MM Air is its Sony SC2210 Integrated Guidance Sensor. With a format of 1/1.8 inch, a resolution of 2 megapixels and a quantum efficiency of up to 92 %, this sensor is specifically designed for automatic mount guidance.
This integration eliminates the need to add a a separate guide scope and a separate guide camera during installation. The system thus saves space and reduces the number of components that need to be installed, while helping to improve tracking accuracy during long-exposure acquisitions.
The ASI2600MM Air is designed to operate in a modern astrophotography environment. It features a Dual-band Wi-Fi: 5 GHz / 2.4 GHz as well as Bluetooth, enabling wireless communication with compatible devices.
In particular, the camera can be integrated directly into the mounts AM3 and AM5 as well as to the auditors ASIAIR. This design minimizes the number of cables around the telescope and makes it easier to set up a mobile system. Remote control and automation are thus much simpler, whether the camera is used in the field or in a permanent installation.
To effectively manage the large volumes of data generated by high-resolution astrophotography, the ASI2600MM Air features 256 GB of storage as well as 2 GB of RAM. This combination makes it possible to process and store acquired data directly within the system, without having to rely on an external computer every time.
Memory performance reaches up to 138 MB/s read speed and 112 MB/s write speed. These speeds are particularly well-suited for long data acquisition sessions and for live stacking, which allows images to be combined in real time so that details in deep-sky objects can be observed as they gradually emerge.
Despite its many built-in features, the ASI2600MM Air retains a compact design intended to facilitate its integration into various configurations. It features USB ports, USB Type-C, and 12-volt outputs, offering great flexibility for connecting the system's various devices and accessories.
These connectivity options allow the camera to be adapted to various usage scenarios, whether it’s a fully automated setup, a mobile installation, or a remotely controlled system. Together, these features form a cohesive solution for astrophotographers who want to minimize the number of devices while maintaining full control over their equipment.
