ZWO ASI 1600MM USB3.0 Monochrome 4/3" CMOS Deep Sky Imager Camera – Perfect for High-Resolution Astrophotography

The ZWO ASI 1600MM USB3.0 Monochrome Camera is a game-changer in the deep sky imaging world, featuring a large 4/3” CMOS sensor with 16 Megapixels. With its remarkable sensitivity and fast frame rate of 23 FPS, this camera offers the flexibility to excel in both deep sky and planetary imaging. Whether you are capturing stunning nebulae, galaxies, or highly detailed planetary features, the ASI1600MM delivers high-quality results.

A Versatile Choice for Astrophotographers

This version of the ZWO ASI 1600MM is uncool and monochrome, making it perfect for astrophotographers looking for a more affordable solution for planetary imaging or deep sky photography without the need for cooling. However, if deep sky imaging is your main goal, you can also explore the cooled version of this camera for even better noise performance.

Impressive Performance for Deep Sky Imaging

The ZWO ASI 1600MM is an excellent choice for deep sky imaging, offering 16 MP resolution (4656 x 3520) and a pixel size of 3.8µm, capturing fine details even in faint celestial objects. With its high dynamic range and low read noise of 1.2e, the camera delivers outstanding image quality with minimal noise, even during long exposures.

Explore L-RGB and Narrow Band Photography

With the monochrome version of this camera, you can take advantage of L-RGB filters or engage in narrowband imaging with filters such as H-alpha, OIII, and SII. This setup offers more control over each colour channel, allowing for more precise and detailed astrophotography results. A filter wheel is recommended for quick filter changes, and you can choose from ZWO's 1.25" or 36mm filters depending on your setup.

ZWO ASI 1600MMLimiting Focal Ratio Considerations

When using this camera with a filter wheel and 1.25" filters, it is important to consider the limiting focal ratio to avoid vignetting. For example, with a fast Newtonian telescope at f/4 or f/5, the ZWO LRGB filters with a 26mm clear aperture are ideal, minimizing vignetting even at fast focal ratios.
