It is perfectly suited for meteor recording and full sky surveillance. The square format facilitates easier composition, making mosaic stitch simpler and more efficient, and the high resolution brings you clear details of the Sun and our Moon. With this camera, you may start your marvelous journey to explore the boundless night sky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy Square Format?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the biggest benefits of ASI676MM's square format is it makes the whole mosaic construction process much easier by eliminating the need to consider the difference between the long and wide sides of the format during mosaic stitching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot only that, the square format also makes the ASI676MM more compatible with various types of lenses such as fisheye lenses and wide-angle lenses. Thus, ASI676MM is more suitable for tasks such as meteor recording and full sky surveillance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eASI676MM Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSTARVIS 2\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSTARVIS is a sensor technology developed by Sony that surpasses the sensitivity of the human eye. STARVIS 2 is an advancement of STARVIS technology, supporting an even higher dynamic range. With this technology, ASI676MM exhibits lower readout noise and dark current, along with significantly enhanced sensitivity in the near-infrared spectrum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eNo Amp Glow\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eASI676MM does not have any amp glow, no matter how long the exposure and how high the gain value you set.

This allows the camera to maintain the same high dynamic range as it does at low gain. When the gain is 180, the HCG mode is automatically turned on. The readout noise is as low as 0.56e, and the dynamic range can still reach a level close to 11 stops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"ASI676MM-HCG\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0610\/7702\/9116\/files\/ASI676MC-HCG.png?v=1714429380\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eQuantum Efficiency\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe QE curve and readout noise are very important parameters to measure the camera's performance.
