• Very low readout noise (from 0.8 e-)
• No more amp glow detectable
• Wide-field lens included in delivery

Product description

The ASI 662 offers very high resolution and is therefore perfect for moon and planet photography. However, EAA (Electronically Assisted Astronomy) and DeepSky astrophotography are also possible with this uncooled camera. This CMOS camera is equipped with a modern 1/2.8" sensor with 1920*1080 pixels. In addition to modern back-illumination technology, the IMX662 sensor offers an extremely smooth image without amplifier glow (amp glow) and also impresses with its high resolution (2.9µm pixels) at a high frame rate.

The ZWO ASI 662 is primarily used for detailed planetary photography and high-resolution images of the moon's surface, solar photography (always with a suitable filter!), images of compact, brighter nebulae (planetary nebulae) and globular clusters. Exposure times of up to 2000 seconds are possible.
This camera model can also be used very well for infrared photography (less seeing influence) or as an autoguider.

The high resolution, combined with a high frame rate of 108 fps (RAW8 format), also enables real-time observations of planets and details on the Sun and Moon. The built-in clear glass filter prevents dust from entering the sensor. With the right selection of contrast filters, nebulae filters, IR pass filters or UV/IR blocking filters, you have full control over which light falls on the sensor.

Mono or Color?

Mono:

    Capable of advanced techniques (LRGB, narrowband)
    Additional applications (spectrometry, photometry)

Colour:

    Convenient for RGB imaging
    No need for expensive filters and filter wheels

Both types of camera are capable of creating stunning astroimages, we can only recommend you pick the one that suits you best!
