Color astronomical camera for astronomical imaging and compatible setups.
The color version allows colors to be recorded within a single sequence, without the sequence of RGB filters required by a monochrome camera. The choice of an additional filter depends on the target, the optics, and the model’s protective window. For short-exposure acquisitions, the effective frame rate depends on the readout mode, the selected area, and the actual data throughput provided by the computer. Pixel size must be considered in relation to the focal length and turbulence conditions. Before installation, check the threading, the distance between the sensor and the mount, and the space occupied by the filters or the optical splitter. The sensor alone does not determine the final field of view: the instrument, the focal length, and any reducers also play a role. Take your calibration images using settings consistent with those used for observations. An astronomical camera provides no protection for solar observation: any use on the Sun requires a filter specifically designed for the instrument and installed correctly.

La ZWO ASI664MC est destinée à l'imagerie planétaire, lunaire et solaire (Soleil uniquement avec un filtre adapté) par « lucky imaging » : on filme quelques minutes jusqu'à 95 images/s puis on empile les meilleures images. Avec des pixels de 2,9 µm, visez un rapport F/D d'environ f/9 à f/15 sur les planètes, avec une lentille de Barlow si nécessaire. Elle sert aussi de caméra d'autoguidage.
Le Sony IMX664 (STARVIS 2) a un bruit de lecture extrêmement bas : 0,46 e⁻. Avec 95 images/s en 2704 × 1536, une bonne sensibilité dans le proche infrarouge et aucun amp glow, il capte les détails fins même avec des poses très courtes.
No: It is powered by its USB cable. No external power source is required.
Le backfocus de la caméra est de 12,5 mm. Raccordement : M42 × 0,75.
Yes: its window is only anti-glare. Add a ZWO 1.25" UV/IR-cut filter for sharp images and accurate colors. For planets low on the horizon, a ZWO ADC Atmospheric Dispersion Corrector significantly improves sharpness.
