ZWO Camera ASI 662 MM Mono

ZWO ASI 662 CMOS Camera

The ASI 662 offers very high resolution, making it an ideal choice for lunar and planetary photography. Beyond its primary focus, this uncooled camera is capable of EAA (Electronically Assisted Astronomy) and DeepSky imaging. Equipped with a modern 1/2.8" sensor featuring 1920x1080 pixels, the ASI 662 utilizes back-illumination technology to deliver smooth, high-resolution images. SkyHunters is proud to provide this advanced imaging solution that combines high frame rates with a sensor free from amplifier glow.

Key advantages

• Modern IMX662 Sensor: Features 2.9µm pixels for high-resolution planetary details.
• Zero Amp Glow: Advanced back-illumination technology ensures a clean image without sensor-generated artifacts.
• High Frame Rate: Captures up to 107 fps at full resolution, perfect for real-time observation and "lucky imaging".
• Extreme Sensitivity: A peak quantum efficiency of 91% allows for excellent performance in low-light conditions.
• Versatile Application: Suitable for everything from solar imaging (with filters) to autoguiding and deep-sky captures of bright nebulae.

Product description

The ZWO ASI 662 is primarily designed for detailed planetary photography and high-resolution surface imaging of the Moon. It is also suitable for solar photography (appropriate filters required!), compact bright planetary nebulae, and globular clusters. With the ability to handle exposure times up to 2000 seconds, it bridges the gap between planetary and deep-sky work.

This camera model excels in infrared photography, where atmospheric seeing has less of an impact, and performs reliably as an autoguider. The built-in clear glass filter protects the sensor from dust while allowing full spectral access. By using appropriate contrast, nebula, IR-pass, or UV/IR blocking filters, users have complete control over the light hitting the sensor.

When considering the choice between Mono and Color models: Mono cameras are capable of advanced techniques like LRGB and narrowband imaging, as well as spectrometry. Color cameras offer the convenience of instant RGB imaging without the need for additional filter wheels and expensive filter sets. Both versions are capable of creating stunning astronomical images based on your specific requirements.
