1/1.6 Square Sensor Design

Square Sensor for Flexible Framing

The AE676M features a 1/1.6" square sensor, eliminating the hassle of aligning different aspect ratios:

  • Easier mosaic stitching without tedious cropping
  • Faster post-processing workflow
  • Better framing flexibility for diverse targets

Especially well-suited for all-sky monitoring, meteor detection, and Milky Way photography. The square format pairs perfectly with fisheye and wide-angle lenses to maximize optical coverage.

AE676M Quantum Efficiency Wave Spectrum

Exceptional H-alpha & Near-Infrared Sensitivity

Powered by STARVIS 2 technology, the AE676M delivers over 95% relative response efficiency across the 600–750nm range, maximizing the capture of H-alpha-rich targets, including solar prominences, flares, and emission nebula details.

Its outstanding sensitivity beyond 800nm in the near-infrared spectrum enables stunning infrared Milky Way imaging through light pollution when paired with IR825/850 filters. Combined with narrowband filters, it provides efficient deep-sky signal acquisition even in light-polluted urban environments.

AR-Coated Protective Window for Maximum Transmission

Features a dual-sided AR-coated optical window that reduces reflections and light loss while protecting against dust and physical damage. It enhances light transmission across the 400–1100nm spectrum, supporting infrared Milky Way imaging when paired with an LP825 filter.

Modular Magnetic Cooling System for Flexible Use

Features a magnetic detachable rear cooling fan module for quick installation and removal. Single-stage TEC cooling combined with precision multi-channel heat dissipation supports long exposures while reducing thermal noise.

AE676M Modular Magnetic Cooling System

Fanless Constant Temperature Mode

PID temperature control algorithm enables precise cooling up to 5°C below ambient. With ±0.1°C stability and zero vibration, it's ideal for long focal length telescopes requiring absolute sharpness.

Light Cooling Deep-Sky Mode

With the magnetic fan attached, sensor temperatures drop by up to 20°C below ambient, greatly suppressing thermal noise during extended exposures and improving dark frame calibration.

*Tested under long-exposure conditions at 25°C ambient temperature with proper ventilation. Actual performance may vary based on environment.
Native 12-bit ADC and Hardware ROI

Native 12-bit ADC & Hardware ROI

Capture 12-bit images natively with software binning from 1×1 to 8×8 and hardware binning from 1×1 to 2×2. Hardware ROI allows frame rates up to 993 FPS at reduced resolution (8-bit mode), making it perfect for high-speed planetary and solar/lunar detail capture.

Equipped with a 512MB DDR3 buffer, the AE676M ensures ultra-low readout noise (as low as 1.01 e⁻) and a high dynamic range of 69.7dB without frame drops, preserving details in both highlights and shadows.

Gain Modes for Diverse Imaging Scenarios

AE676M HCG Mode Performance Graph
AE676M LCG Mode Performance Graph
HCG Mode: Reduces read noise while maintaining high dynamic range for faint deep-sky objects and guiding.
LCG Mode: Prevents overexposure on bright targets while preserving highlight detail.
HDR Mode: Combines HCG's low noise with LCG's high full-well capacity for maximum dynamic range (16-bit output).
