Key product details

• Advanced deep-sky astrophotographers
• Wide-field imaging with refractors and fast Newtonians
• Users who prefer cooled colour imaging without an LRGB workflow
• APS-C colour sensor
• 3.76 µm pixels
• 16-bit ADC

Product overview

The ASI2600MC Pro is a powerful one-shot-colour camera for advanced deep-sky astrophotography. Its large APS-C sensor provides a much wider field than smaller formats and therefore places greater demands on field correction and illumination.

Suitable applications

• Advanced deep-sky astrophotographers
• Wide-field imaging with refractors and fast Newtonians
• Users who prefer cooled colour imaging without an LRGB workflow

Included equipment

• APS-C colour sensor
• 3.76 µm pixels
• 16-bit ADC
• USB 3.0 and DDR3 buffer
• Regulated cooling to about 35 °C below ambient
• High quantum efficiency and no traditional amp glow

Optics and backfocus

An APS-C sensor uses a large image field. The telescope, flattener or coma corrector should provide adequate correction and illumination. According to the product data, sensor spacing from the T2 interface is 17.5 mm.

Practical note

Plan adapters, filters and corrector as one optical train. With APS-C in particular, it pays to define the required backfocus before ordering accessories.
