The ZWO ASI2600MM Pro mono is the much-anticipated monochrome version of ZWO’s popular ZWO ASI2600MC Pro dedicated astronomy camera. It houses a 26-megapixel Sony IMX571 back-illuminated sensor and some seriously impressive specs. This camera uses a highly sensitive, cooled, monochrome CMOS se...
All that said I really want to add an ASI2600mc to my kit. I would very much like to use it as a dedicated OSC camera on my large SCT for imaging galaxies. This large scope is seeing limited and I need to be putting on the mount when conditions are predicted too be excellent. I...
So, it just arrived. It's my first step into the high-end astrophotography, aka mono camera. Visually, it looks the same like my other 2600MC Duo, but I already saw something slight different settings in AsiAir. Tonight will be my first light in mono, I am so excited! For the moment...
Since I just received my ASI2600MM Pro the clouds rolled in as fully expected and will be with me for a few weeks. However, I took advantage for a few minutes to try it out for EAA purposes under not ideal circumstances to see how it would perform. Its utility for AP is already shi...
I found about 7 of these small green things with wings when I opened my ASI2600MC Pro. The heat sink fins were dirty, covered with dust and needed cleaning. I cleaned everything and installed the Silicone Anti-Vibration Fan Mounts. I have no idea if I needed them or if they will impr...
Does anyone know if the ASI2600MC has made it into the hands of any testers yet? I may register the 2600MC test, since I am also interested in that one rather than 533, to finally replace my 071 and to upgrade one of my build into RC or RASA. ...
I think you hit the nail on the head in your last post. The 2.4um pixels saturate almost instantly. I use the 183MC Pro and pair it with a very short FL scope (287mm). It produces very sharp images at that FL because of the pixel size, but nearly all of my stars are blown out...
21473/22343 (96%) of asi2600mc pro images on astrobin are DSOs. Cooled cameras have advantages, but many astrophotographers choose "planetary" cameras for DSO imaging. I think the reason is simply that these 2 planetary cam have a wide fov, so they can be exploited both for planetary ( ...
Yes, I ran the Sharpcap analysis on my ASI2400mc pro.and it matched pretty close to the factory specs also. I have been very impressed with the performance of the ASI2400mc pro. So far all my imaging has been from the house in a bortle 6-7 sky. ...
