The monochrome IMX571: 26 megapixels of APS-C with the highest resolution and deepest narrowband this sensor can give, the reference deep-sky mono camera.
Built for deep sky, nebulae, galaxies and clusters under long exposure. Capable on the Moon, but oversized for high-resolution planets.

A camera has no field of view of its own, the telescope in front of it decides everything. Pick a target and watch the same 26-megapixel frame become three different images.
The mono version of the benchmark APS-C sensor: higher effective resolution than colour and unmatched narrowband depth. The cost is filters, a wheel and a longer workflow.
Polaris weighs how well the camera does the job it was designed for — image quality, sensitivity, versatility and value — never list price or brand.
Add a filter wheel and the 2600MM turns light-polluted skies into clean Ha/OIII/SIII data that colour cameras simply cannot reach. It is where imagers go when they want the most out of a night.
