Same camera. Different telescope. A completely different photograph.
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 12.6-megapixel frame become three different images.
What it's best at — and the trade-offs.
The numbers, in plain English.
What it shines on.
Everything you'd actually buy.
How it scores, and why.
High resolution and a versatile square field at a low price. Uncooled and shallow-welled, so it is a planetary and live-view tool by design.
Polaris weighs how well the camera does the job it was designed for — image quality, sensitivity, versatility and value — never list price or brand.
An honest fit check.
Full specifications.
The IMX676 is a square 12.6-megapixel sensor with tiny 2-micron pixels, a lot of resolution for lucky imaging on the planets, and a big enough field to frame the whole Moon or run EAA. Uncooled and shallow-welled, it is a fast capture tool, not a long-exposure deep-sky camera.
