ZWO ASI664MC

The ZWO ASI664MC is an advanced color camera for planet and moon photography, equipped with the latest Sony IMX664 back-illuminated CMOS sensor. With a resolution of 2704 × 1536 pixels (4.15 MP) and a pixel size of 2.9 µm, you will capture razor-sharp details, from the fine cloud bands on Jupiter to crater structures on the moon.

Compared to the popular ASI662MC, this successor offers a larger sensor area (7.84 × 4.45 mm), higher resolution and even lower readout noise of only 0.46 e-. Thanks to the amp glow-free sensor, your shots stay clean, even with longer exposure times or stacking. The high frame rate of up to 95 fps makes the camera ideal for lucky imaging and real-time applications.

With USB 3.0 and a built-in 256 MB DDR3 buffer, data are transferred stably and quickly, even at high frame rates. The compact design of only 126 grams makes the ASI664MC suitable for almost any telescope setup, without additional counterweight.

Application
The ZWO ASI664MC is perfect for serious amateur photographers looking for more detail and speed in a compact camera. Suitable for:
