ZWO ASI 482MC Color Camera

The ASI482MC is one of the latest OSC planetary cameras released by ZWO in 2021. Packed with Sony sensor IMX482, this camera has some very great highlights, including a large pixel size of 5.8um, compatible with USB 3.0 interface, large full-well depth of 51.5ke-, extremely high sensitivity and super low read-out noise, etc. It is considered as one powerful iteration of ZWO after years of developing process in the field of planetary cameras. 1/1.2” format 2 megapixel sensor The IMX482 sensor adopts a back-illuminated CMOS structure. In resolution, it is approximately the same as IMX462, but with 4 times the sensor size, it accordingly has a larger pixel size of 5.8*5.8um. The sensor length and width are 11.13mm*6.26mm. The diagonal is 12.86mm. SNR1s=0.08lx Sony is introducing SNR1s [lx] as an index used to quantitatively evaluate picture quality at low illumination. SNR1s [lx] is an acronym consisting of “SNR” (Signal-to-Noise Ratio), “1” (represents that the signal level when no
