ZWO ASI 678 MC color camera

The ZWO ASI 678 MC colour camera features the SONY IMX678 back-illuminated sensor. The high-sensitivity sensor (QE ∼83%) has a resolution of 8.3 megapixels and a pixel size of 2 microns. These features allow fine details to be captured in lunar and planetary imagery, but the camera is also capable of depth imaging.

The 3840 x 2160 resolution sensor features passive cooling. This is a heat-dissipating "cushion" that conducts the heat generated during sensor operation into the camera housing and through it into the environment. This allows the sensor to operate at temperatures up to 15°C lower when shooting long shutter speeds, resulting in less noise. Using 12 bit colour depth at full resolution, the camera can capture images of the moon, sun and planets at 47.5 fps. The rich colour depth is also an advantage when shooting depth shots, allowing you to capture fine detail

The ZWO ASI 678 MC color camera does not have a UV/IR block filter built in, so it has exceptional sensitivity in this range as well. Of course, a UV/IR block filter can be added to the light path if required.

As the ZWO ASI 678 MM monochrome camera also has a ST4 connector, it can also be used as a guideway camera.
