Product Description
ASI6200MM Pro uses Sony's back-illuminated IMX455 Full Frame format native 16-bit ADC sensor. It has 3.76µm, ultra-low 0.86e readout noise pixels and an innovative breakthrough resulting in zero amp-glow. This camera combines an optimal set of characteristics for you to be able to take amazing images. Its huge sensor and full-frame format will let you capture detailed, large images.
Fresh New Upgrades!
The new ASI6200MM-P25 Camera includes an upgraded board, allowing for enhanced performance in terms of lower readout noise and higher frame rates. It also now has 512MB of DDR3 Cache. It also now comes with a premium matte finish, to match your favorite ZWO mounts and accessories!
Exquisite Craftsmanship for a Premium Imaging Experience
Zero Amp Glow – Worry-Free Imaging even with Long Exposures and High Gain
The ASI6200MM Pro features a true "zero amp glow" sensor, delivering exceptionally clean dark frames. Even during long exposures or at high gain settings, astrophotographers can easily capture high-quality images.
Full Frame Format
The ASI6200MM Pro camera uses a full-frame format. The outstanding 9576x6388 resolution provided by the onboard Sony IMX455 sensor makes this camera a 61.2-megapixel full frame powerhouse! The sensor length and width are 36mm x 24mm respectively, and the diagonal is 43.3mm. This is a camera with a small pixel size of 3.76um that can accommodate a large well depth of 51.4ke.
Native 16bit ADC
ASI6200MM Pro camera is our first batch of CMOS astronomy cameras with true 16-bit ADC. It is not a CCD-style 16-bit ADC – it really can achieve a dynamic range output of 14 stops. This significantly improves the image sharpness and contrast, and the contrast gradients are smoother and more natural-looking.
Two-Stage TEC Cooling, Ultra-Low Dark Current
Thanks to the two stage TEC cooling, ASI6200MM Pro can lower the CMOS sensor temperature to 35 degrees Celsius below ambient temperature, which can greatly reduce dark current generation and sensor noise even during extended exposure times
*The Delta T 35°C is tested at 30°C ambient temperature. It might get down when the cooling system is working for a long time. Also, as the ambient temperature falls, the Delta T would also decrease.
Other Key Features
- USB3.0 & 512MB DDR3 Memory: The ASI6200MM Pro camera is equipped with a USB 3.0 transmission interface and a built-in 512MB DDR3 cache to ensure stable and secure data transmission.
- Three Sets of Screws: The sensor is adjusted by three sets of screws, enabling precise calibration. (Each set consists of a push-pull screw pair.)
- Powerful Anti-Dew: ASI6200MM Pro comes with the polyimide heater that can avoid any dew problems. The anti-dew heater which completely fit the protective window will heat it to avoid any dew problems.
- Meticulous Design, Uncompromising Quality: The body weighs just 0.7 kg (1.54 lbs), yet delivers outstanding image performance.
Camera Performance
Low Readout Noise, High Dynamic Range
The ASI6200MM Pro camera has excellent performance with a dynamic range of up to 14 stops that will greatly reduce the issue of overexposed images, and make color gradients look smoother and more natural-looking.
The innovative design of the ASI6200MM Pro also includes high conversion gain mode (HCG) that automatically kicks in at a gain setting of 100, reducing the amount of read noise while simultaneously preserving the dynamic range during high gain imaging.
QE Curve
The QE peak value of the ASI6200MM Pro is 91%.
Ultra-Low Dark Current
The unique dark current suppression technology can further reduce dark current noise. At a cooling temperature of 0°C, the dark current noise is only 0.0017e/s/pix. This means a 300s exposure will only cause a dark current noise of 0.51 e/pix, which is completely negligible!
