The ZWO ASI1600MM is the first astronomy camera by ZWO Optical designed for deep-sky imaging, built around a 16 megapixel monochrome CMOS 4/3" sensor with a resolution of 4656x3520 and 3.8 μm pixels. With 12-bit ADC and low read noise, this high-sensitivity camera is ideal for wide-field astronomical imaging of deep-sky objects, and also works well on solar-system objects, with the fast USB 3.0 interface allowing transfer rates of up to 23 frames per second at full resolution. The Panasonic MN34230 CMOS sensor is known for its exceptional light gathering efficiency, low read noise, and high resolution with peak quantum efficiency of approximately 60% and dynamic range between 9 to 12 stops, making it the same size as an 8300 sensor with twice the megapixels and 30% more efficient in light gathering.
