ZWO ASI678MM PLANETARY CAMERA

ZWO ASI678MM Planetary Imaging Camera

Capture stunning details of the Moon, Sun, and planets with the ZWO ASI678MM Monochrome Camera, powered by Sony’s advanced IMX678 back-illuminated sensor. Boasting ultra-low read noise of just 0.6e, small 2µm pixels, and 4K resolution (3840x2160), this high-performance camera is designed for serious planetary, lunar, and solar astrophotography.

Thanks to Sony’s STARVIS 2 sensor technology, the ASI678MM offers incredible near-infrared sensitivity, reduced dark current, and no amp glow, even during long exposures. Whether you're imaging Saturn’s atmospheric bands or lunar craters, the camera’s fast 47.5 FPS and excellent dynamic range ensure razor-sharp results, even under unstable seeing conditions.

Advanced Features & Benefits

• Back-Illuminated Sony IMX678 Sensor
  High quantum efficiency (QE peak of 83%) for excellent low-light performance and rich detail capture in planetary and solar imaging.

• Exceptional Infrared Sensitivity
  When used with IR-pass filters (850nm or 890nm), it delivers detailed infrared imagery of Jupiter, Saturn, and other bright targets.

• STARVIS 2 Technology
  Enhanced low-light sensitivity, reduced read noise, and improved dark current handling — all contributing to superior imaging performance.

• Fast Frame Rate
  Capture fleeting moments in high resolution with up to 47.5 frames per second, ideal for freezing turbulence in the atmosphere.

• No Amp Glow Design
  Hardware-level suppression of amp glow for clean, long-exposure images — no software correction needed.

• HCG Mode (High Conversion Gain)
  Automatically activates at gain 182 to maintain low read noise and preserve high dynamic range (up to 11 stops).

• 256MB DDR3 Buffer Memory
  Supports stable data transfer via USB 3.0 and prevents dropped frames during long exposures.
