ZWO ASI178MC CMOS Astrophotography Camera

This ZWO ASI178MC astronomy camera includes the back-illuminated 6.4 M resolution Sony IMX178 image sensor. This one and one-eighth inch CMOS sensor has a 3096 x 2080 pixel array and a 2.4-micrometer square pixel size. With a 14-bit ADC, extremely low read noise of 2.2 e, and superior sensitivity the ZWO ASI178MC is an excellent camera for both astrophotography and microscopy. ZWO ASI178MC Specifications at a Glance  Experience the Sony IMX178 CMOS Sensor The Sony IMX178 back-illuminated CMOS image sensor offers high sensitivity, resolution and dynamic range. The IMX185 is an "Exmor R" sensor with notably improved imaging features, including sensitivity and low read noise, by correcting the basic structure of "Exmor" adopted column-parallel A/D converter to back-illuminated type. The IMX178 is a Sony STARVIS sensor and has a sensitivity of 2000mV+ per 1-micron square (when imaging with a 706 cd/m2 light source, f/5.6 in 1-second accumulation correspondent), and provides superior imag
