Player One NEPTUNE-664C Color (SKU: POA-NEPTUNE-664C ) is the third generation of the popular Neptune series planetary cameras. It uses the latest Sony IMX664 (STARVIS 2) sensor with a 1/1.8″ diagonal and a resolution of 4.2 MP (2704 × 1540 px). With a 2.9 µm pixel, globally amp-glow-free electronics and a 256 MB DDR-III buffer, the camera provides high sensitivity (~91% QE), a full well of 38.5 ke- and smooth recording up to ≈ 93 fps in full frame (RAW 10/12). The built-in PCS (Passive Cooling System) with a radiator and a Super AR Plus window guarantees low sensor temperature even when imaging the Sun.

Neptune-664C is the successor of Neptune-C II and sets a new level of quality in high-speed photography of the Sun, Moon and planets. High sensitivity, no amp-glow and extremely fast readout speeds make it an excellent tool for “lucky imaging” with narrowband filters (H-α, Ca-K, CH ₄ ), as well as for color recordings of the ISS or tracking dynamic phenomena in the atmospheres of Jupiter and Saturn.
