ZWO ASI2600MC-P25 DSO Astronomy Cooled Camera
New ASI2600MC Pro
Refined Design
The body weighs just 0.7 kg(1.54
lbs),
yet delivers outstanding image performance.
APS-C Sony IMX571 Sensor
The ASI2600MM/MC Pro is equipped with the APS-C format Sony
IMX571 sensor, measuring 23.5mm × 15.7mm with a 28.3mm diagonal. It delivers an
outstanding resolution of 6248 × 4176 pixels, making it a true 26-megapixel
powerhouse. Each 3.76 μm pixel offers an impressive full-well capacity of
73ke⁻, ensuring exceptional dynamic range and image quality.
Native 16bit ADC
The advanced CMOS architecture of the ASI2600 enables a true
14-stop dynamic range. This ensures exceptionally smooth tonal transitions,
richer color gradients, and the ability to capture both the faintest details
and the brightest highlights within a single frame.
Zero Amp Glow
As the ASI2600MM/MC Pro uses zero amp glow circuitry, you
won’t have to worry about amp glow even when using high gain, long exposure
imaging.
Anti-dew
The ASI2600MM/MC uses a built-in polyimide heater bonded to
the protective window, preventing dew and frost for clear, reliable imaging all
night long.
USB 3.0 & 512MB DDR3 Memory
The ASI2600MM/MC Pro incorporates a high-speed USB 3.0
interface paired with a dedicated 512MB DDR3 memory buffer. This architecture
minimizes data loss and latency, delivering fast, stable, and secure
transmission even during long exposures and continuous high-resolution capture.
Sensor Tilt Adjustment
The camera incorporates a tilt plate with three sets of
adjustment screws. In combination with the three mounting screws, they enable
precise fine-tuning of the sensor plane for accurate alignment with the
telescope’s optical axis, ensuring a flat imaging field and consistent star
shapes across the entire frame.
Two-stage TEC cooling
Thanks to its two-stage TEC cooling system, the ASI2600MM/MC
Pro can reduce the CMOS sensor temperature by 30°C–35°C below ambient,
significantly lowering dark current and sensor noise even during long
exposures.
The of 35°C is measured at 30℃ ambient
temperature.

Camera Performance
The ASI2600MM/MC Pro achieves a dynamic range of up to 14
stops. When the gain setting reaches 100, the HCG (High Conversion Gain) mode
is automatically enabled, which substantially reduces readout noise while
preserving dynamic range. For optimal deep-sky imaging performance, a gain
setting of 0 or 100 is recommended.

QE value
The QE peak value of the ASI2600MM Pro camera is 91%.

The QE peak value of the ASI2600MC Pro camera is 80%.

Ultra-low dark current
The ASI2600MM/MC Pro adopts advanced dark current
suppression technology. At a cooling temperature of 0 °C, the dark current is
only 0.0022e⁻/s/pix, which means that even with a 5-minute (300s) exposure, the
total dark current noise is just 0.7e⁻—lower than the readout noise. At –20 °C,
the dark current drops further to 0.00012e⁻/s/pix, making it virtually
negligible.
