ZWO ASI 664MC is a compact OSC ( one shot color ) astronomical camera dedicated to use in planetary astrophotography. In terms of design, this model is a development of the ZWO ASI 662MC camera.
The heart of this camera is the Sony IMX664 color matrix, using back illumination (BI) and Sony Starvis 2™ technology, thanks to which it is characterized by extremely high sensitivity in both the visible and near infrared range and three times greater ± capacity of the potential well. This sensor is also characterized by a negligibly low level of reading noise, which for a gain of 19 dB is only 3.2 e. Combined with an advanced 12-bit analog-to-digital converter, this guarantees breathtaking results in almost every situation. conditions.
The whole thing is enclosed in a light and compact housing made of aluminum and finished in the red color typical of ZWO products.
