ZWO ASI664MC USB 3.0 Planetary Camera with CMOS colour sensor

ASI664MC is a remarkable new planetary CMOS camera. The 1/1.8" Sony IMX664 sensor features a small pixel size of 2.9um pixel and a high resolution of 2704*1536(4.15MP). In high-speed mode, the frame rate reaches 95fps, while the readout noise remains at a low level, as low as 0.46e!

The larger sensor size and higher resolution compared with ASI662MC result in sharper images for a better astrophotography experience.

STARVIS 2 Technology

You might not be strange with Sony STARVIS 2 technology. It offers ASI664MC outstanding image quality and imaging performance.

High Transmission Speed

This camera has a USB 3.0 interface, along with the built-in 256MB DDR3 cache, ensuring high-speed, smooth and stable data transmis-sion.

AS1664MC vS ASI662MC

ASI664MC can be considered as an iteration of ASI662MC. With the great improvement in sensor size and resolution, it provides a larger FOV and also results in high-quality images containing more details.

Camera Curve

Low readout noise, high dynamic range

The camera has a built-in HCG mode, which can effectively reduce readout noise at high gain and keep the dynamic range at the same level as it does at low gain. At gain 252 and above, the HCG mode is automatically turned on; the dynamic range is close to 11bit; the readout noise can be lower than 1.0e.
