The ZWO ASI2600MC Duo is a groundbreaking color astrophotography camera designed for stargazing enthusiasts. Combining a high-performance main camera with an integrated guide camera, it simplifies the astrophotography experience without compromising quality.
-
Dual Functionality: Imaging and Guiding in One
Combines imaging and guiding in one device, eliminating the need for a separate guide scope or off-axis guider.
-
High-Performance Main Camera
Features a 26MP Sony IMX571 sensor with 16-bit ADC, 14 stops of dynamic range, 80% quantum efficiency, and cooling down to -35°C below ambient for sharp, noise-free images.
-
Advanced Built-In Guide Camera
Uses the sensitive ASI220MM Mini sensor for precise guiding, even through light-reducing filters like dual narrowband filters.
-
Anti-Dew System
Built-in heater prevents dew formation on the sensor glass, ideal for humid conditions.
-
Fast Data Transfer
USB 3.0 with a 512MB DDR3 buffer ensures quick and stable file transfers.
-
Easy Tilt Adjustment
Rear-facing screws allow quick sensor tilt correction for better image quality.
