The Atik 16200 Monochrome camera has been designed from the ground up around the KAF-16200 sensor. With a diagonal measurement of 35mm (APS-H format) and 6 μm pixels this camera is an incredible mix of high resolution and sensor real estate.
It is a great match for a range of telescopes, and all at a much more accessible price than the likes of KAF-11002 and KAF-16803 based cameras.
The design sees the CCD housed in a sealed, argon-purged chamber, complemented by a powerful dual-stage peltier and heatsink for optimum cooling. This camera has the lowest delta you’ve ever seen from Atik, at -45°C typical, and a whopping -50°C max.
