The ASI178MC camera is equipped with a large 1/1.8" sensor using the new 'Sony Starvis' and 'Exmor R' technology.
This produces images with very little noise and high sensitivity. In addition, the small pixel size mean a much higher resolution, resulting in a versatile camera which delivers excellent results for a wide range of options.

The ASI 178 is particularly suitable for:
  1. Lunar and planetary photography
  2. 170° all-sky images and weather observation (using the 2.5 mm objective lens included)
  3. Solar photography (with suitable filter)
  4. Photography of brighter nebulae and star clusters (thanks to exposure times up to 1000secs)
  5. Autoguiding camera (autoguiding ST4 port)
  6. Photography through microscopes
The camera has a back-illuminated CMOS Image Sensor with 14bit ADC with extremely low read noise(1.4e-2.2 e), 1.4e @27db. The high sensitivity and 14bit ADC make it very suitable for astrophotography with high resolution imagery.
