Product Description
ZWO ASI1600GT Camera w/ 5-Position Filter Wheel
With the innovative ZWO GT cameras, users are able to experience the great quality of a traditional ZWO camera but with the added bonus of an integrated 5-position wheel! Not only does the camera have the integrated ultra-quiet electronic filter wheel, it also has a 12V power distribution, an integrated USB2 hub, included cables and many more exciting features.
ZWOs ASI1600GT astronomy camera includes low read noise, low dark current, and a high dynamic range, making it an excellent tool for astrophotographers. With a built-in 12bit ADC, the camera can provide 12.5 stops dynamic range.
This GT camera includes a 256MB DDR3 memory buffer which improves the camera's data transfer reliability.
The ASI1600GT Camera has a 2-stage cooling system. It has deep cooling abilities, 40°C - 45°C below ambient. The body of the camera is designed with 24 heat radiating grooves with fitted dual maglev fans. This ensures that temperature difference stays between 40°C - 45°C below ambient.
In order to power the cooler, an external power supply (not included) is needed. The recommended power supply is a 12V/3-5A or more DC adapter. A battery with a 9-15V is also suitable to power the cooler.
The included electronic filter wheel, driven by a very quiet, high grade stepper motor, accepts both 1.25"- and 31-mm filters. Please note that the thickness of the 1.25" filters cannot exceed 7 mm (without threads). The thread must be shorted than 2.5 mm, so the filter wheel does not strike the camera housing.
The integrated filter wheel, EFW, is CNC machined out of an aircraft grade aluminum block. It was then finished in a hard-wearing anodized finish. You can be rest assured that ZWO has factored in internal light reflections. The inner surface of the EFW has been treated to avoid those specific reflections.
ZWO has included multiple ports on the body of the ASI1600 GT camera.
The body of this camera has a 12V power supply port, a USB3.0 port, and a USB 2.0 hub.
