State-of-the-Art IMX662 Sensor: Equipped with a 1/2.8” back-illuminated IMX662 sensor, delivering ultra-high sensitivity, ultra-low readout noise, and enhanced NIR performance, making it ideal for planetary and lunar photography as well as EAA (Electronically Assisted Astronomy).
-
Dynamic Range & Noise Reduction: Utilizes HCG noise reduction technology to minimize readout noise and preserve high dynamic range. HCG mode automatically activates at a gain value of 190, ensuring crisp, detailed images with reduced noise.
-
Versatile Modes with One-Key Quick Setting: Features high-speed planetary mode and deep-space long exposure mode in SharpCap software. Switch effortlessly between settings and save your preferences for future sessions, making astrophotography more efficient and user-friendly.
-
Detachable UV/IR-CUT Protective Glass: Comes with built-in UV/IR-CUT protective glass offering >96% transmittance in the visible range (400-700nm). Easily remove the glass to attach 1.25-inch filters like IR or UV filters for varied imaging needs.
-
Enhanced Sensor Performance: Compared to its predecessor, the IMX462, the IMX662 sensor offers three times the full well charge, reducing overexposure and enhancing long-exposure imaging.
-
1.25-Inch CS Interface: Compatible with 1.25-inch universal astronomical interfaces and equipped with a CS-C adapter ring, supporting both C-mount and CS-mount lenses.
-
Built-in 128MB DDRIII Buffer: Ensures smooth image transfer by caching frames, preventing loss or corruption during USB interruptions.
-
Excellent Performance Across Spectra: Enhanced sensitivity in the red spectral band, outperforming the IMX462, for capturing finer details and colors in astrophotography.
-
Lightweight and Compact: Designed for convenience and ease of use, making it a great addition to any astrophotographer’s gear.
-
Perfect for Planetary and Lunar Imaging: The combination of ultra-low readout noise, high sensitivity, and advanced features make this camera an exceptional choice for capturing detailed planetary and lunar views.
