Vai al moduloThe ZWO ASI2600MC Duo combines a cooled color camera with a Sony IMX571 APS-C 26 MP sensor and a built-in SC2210 guide sensor in a single body, removing the need for a separate off-axis guider or guide scope. A single USB cable controls both imaging and guiding.
Main sensor
The IMX571 delivers 26 MP (6248 × 4176 pixels of 3.76 µm), a native 16-bit ADC, about 14 stops of dynamic range and a peak QE of about 80%. Read noise ranges from 1.0 e⁻ at high gain to 3.3 e⁻ at minimum gain. The base full well capacity is 50 ke⁻ and can be extended to about 73 ke⁻ by setting the gain to −25, to avoid saturating bright stars. The sensor shows no amp glow.
Built-in guiding and cooling
The 1/1.8″ SC2210 monochrome guide sensor (7.68 × 4.32 mm) is the same as in the ASI220MM Mini and has excellent near-infrared sensitivity. Two-stage TEC cooling lowers the sensor temperature by 30–35 °C below ambient (measured at 30 °C), while a heater on the protective window prevents condensation. The 512 MB DDR4 buffer and USB 3.0 port ensure reliable frame transfer, up to 15 fps in RAW8 at full resolution.
