Capture stunning, high-resolution planetary images with the ASI662MC USB 3.0 Color Astronomy Camera from ZWO. Equipped with a Sony IMX662 CMOS sensor, the camera achieves 2.1MP resolution with low read noise and no amp glow. It transmits data to your computer quickly, thanks to the USB 3.0 interface and DDR3 256MB cache, with a frame rate as high as 107.6 fps. The camera's 38.2ke full well capacity allows for long exposures and helps avoid over-exposure issues.

2.1MP Sony IMX662 CMOS Sensor    2.9µ Pixels, 38.2ke Well Depth    USB 3.0 & DDR3 Cache for Data Transfer    107.6 fps Max Frame Rate    Quantum Efficiency: 91%    Zero Amp Glow Circuitry    USB 3.0/2.0 Port    ST4 Autoguider Port

The ASI662MC features a 5.6 x 3.1mm Sony sensor with a resolution of 1920 x 1080. The 2.9µ pixel accommodates a full well capacity of 38.2ke. The sensor boasts a quantum efficiency of 91%.

The ASI662MC is equipped with a USB 3.0 transmission interface and a built-in 256MB DDR3 cache to ensure stable and secure data transmission. Under long exposure, it effectively avoids frame dropping and greatly reduces the glow effect caused by slow reading speed.

HCG mode comes on automatically when the gain is set to 252, and it keeps readout noise as low as 1.0e while maintaining a 12-bit dynamic range.

Using zero-glow amp circuitry, the ASI662MC eliminates amp glow—a weak infrared light source often created by traditional CMOS sensors, sometimes seen in the corners of uncalibrated images. You won't have to worry about it, even during high-gain, long-exposure imaging.

Q: 1. Its works on 220v?

A: Yes, the Genaray LED-7100T will work on 220V.

Q: 2. How does this compare to the BOLING Pocket LED RGB Video Light?

A: The Genaray uses external batteries and has the following dimensions: 7.5 x 4.5 x 1.8" The BOLING Pocket LED has RGB color, uses an internal battery and has the following dimensions: 5.9 x 2.8 x 0.6"

Q: 3. What is the dropoff in lux as distance is increased? 1440 lux at 3' would be what at 6'?Thanks.

A: At 6 feet, the output would be 360 lux. Light quantity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source of that physical quantity.

Q: 4. Why is only half the light lit?

A: While you do not state your settings on the light fixture, I am assuming you have the unit's Kelvin color temperature set either to 3200K or to 5600K. As the Generay LED-7100T 312 LED Variable-Color On-Camera Light is a variable-color/bi-color unit, the light unit has both 156 tungsten-balanced LED bulbs and 156 daylight-balanced LED bulbs. When the unit is set to either extreme, only half the bulbs are used corresponding to your chosen setting. If you are using an intermediate setting, then certain bulbs would be dimmed while others would be brightened to achieve the desired temperature. When the light is set to approximately 4400K (the mid-point between the two temperature extremes), all lights would be lit with the same output power. This applies for the usage of most all variable-color LED light fixtures.

Q: 5. will this fit on a Cannon Vixia HFG10 without any adapters?

A: This light, as well as most others, will require an adapter to fit into Canon's mini advanced accessory shoe:The Pearstone CSA-II Universal Shoe Adapter for Canon Camcorders with Mini Advanced Shoe is designed for all Canon Camcorders with a Mini Advanced Accessory Shoe. It allows you to mount external lights and microphones that feature a universal (AIS) cold shoe. Plus it features a locking wheel that's not only easier to lock, but holds better to the camera than previous models. It also has a front stop on the top shoe for more secure mounting.
