ASI664MC

The ASI664MC is a remarkable new planetary CMOS camera featuring a 1/1.8" Sony IMX664 sensor with a small pixel size of 2.9µm and a high resolution of 2704x1546 (4.15MP). In high-speed mode, the frame rate reaches 95fps, while the readout noise remains at a low level, as low as 0.46e. Equipped with Sony's STARVIS 2 technology which helps produce exceptional image quality through its back illuminated sensor design, this versatile imaging tool excels at planetary, lunar and solar imaging while also performing well on deep-sky targets. The camera features no-glow circuitry to avoid the annoying amp glow being produced, a built-in HCG mode, which can effectively reduce readout noise at high gain and keep the dynamic range at the same level as it does at low gain, and a USB 3.0 interface, along with the built-in 256MB DDR3 cache, ensuring high-speed, smooth and stable data transmission.
