ZWO ASI678MM

The ASI678MM is an uncooled monochrome astronomy camera built around the Sony IMX678. Its 7.7 × 4.3 mm sensor records 3840 × 2160 pixels with 2 µm sampling.

Imaging performance

The manufacturer specifies a 12-bit ADC, 11,270-electron full well, 83% peak quantum efficiency and read noise of As low as 0.6 electrons. Capture speed is 47.5 fps advertised maximum. Smaller regions of interest can increase frame rate; speed depends on ADC mode, output format, exposure and connection.

Applications

Monochrome capture supports luminance and filtered imaging. Use suitable external filters to select the wavelength range for lunar, planetary or specialist imaging.

Connections and spacing

The USB connection supplies power and transfers images. The camera uses a M42 × 0.75 interface, with 12.5 mm sensor spacing. Its AR-coated protective window protects the sensor. The body is 62 mm in diameter and weighs 126 g. Match optical adapters and any external filter to the required telescope spacing.
