ZWO ASI 662 Color Astronomy Camera
The ZWO ASI 662 is a high-performance CMOS camera specifically optimized for high-resolution planetary and lunar photography. Featuring the cutting-edge Sony IMX662 sensor with back-illumination technology, it delivers an exceptionally smooth image entirely free from amplifier glow (amp glow). As one of the leading telescope suppliers, SkyHunters offers this model as a versatile tool suitable for both high-speed planetary imaging and Electronically Assisted Astronomy (EAA).
Key Advantages
- High Resolution: 2.9µm pixel size for capturing fine structural details.
- Zero Amp Glow: Modern sensor architecture ensures clean backgrounds even during longer exposures.
- Fast Frame Rates: Capable of 108 fps in RAW8 format for real-time observation and "lucky imaging."
- Versatile Application: Excellent for planetary, solar, infrared photography, and autoguiding.
Product Description
The ASI 662 utilizes a 1/2.8" sensor with 1920x1080 pixels, striking a perfect balance between speed and resolution. While primarily designed for detailed planetary surfaces, it is also capable of capturing compact deep-sky objects such as planetary nebulae and globular clusters. Exposure times of up to 2000 seconds are possible, providing flexibility for various astronomical targets.
This camera model is particularly effective for infrared photography, which helps minimize the effects of atmospheric seeing, or as a high-precision autoguider. The built-in clear glass filter protects the sensor from dust while allowing you to maintain full control over the light path using external contrast, nebula, or IR-pass filters.
SkyHunters provides professional consultations to ensure you get the most out of this camera's high-speed capabilities and advanced sensor technology. Whether you are tracking meteors or capturing the rings of Saturn, the ASI 662 offers the reliability and precision required for modern astrophotography.
