Description
Note：ZWO Cooled cameras require a 12V power source for the TEC cooler and USB hub power. If you don't have one, please add it through the options on the right side of the product display.
DDR Memory Buffer
The DDR memory buffer and cooling are the main differences between ASI regular and "Pro" cameras.
ASI1600 Pro camera includes a 256MB DDR3 memory buffer to help improve data transfer reliability. Additionally, the use of a memory buffer minimizes amp-glow, which is caused by the slow transfer speeds when the camera is used with a USB 2.0 port.
Astrophotography Performance
ASI1600 Pro offers very good performance for astrophotography. low read noise, low dark current, high dynamic range .
The ASI1600's built-in 12bit ADC can provide 12.5 stops dynamic range which is even better than the KAF8300 due to its super low read noise.
QE Graph
The QE peak value is more than 60%.
Dark Current
Reliable Mechanical Structures
There are four screws that seal the sensor chamber. Our camera design has been extensively tested and is very stable.
Even when used in higher humidity environments, ASI1600 Pro will still works fine without dew problems.
USB 3.0 Port & USB 2.0 HUB
Cooling System
ASI1600 Pro has 2 stage TEC cooling system to enable very deep cooling (40°C-45°C below ambient). The cooler requires an external power supply, which is not included with the camera.
