Description

16.2 Megapixel camera for Large Format, cooled CCD Astrophotography

The Atik 16200 has the signature Atik blend of form and function, boasting an APS-H size sensor with a 35mm diagonal in a whole new case design.

The sensor has a generous 6µm pixel size which makes it suitable for a huge range of telescopes. The large format size of the camera makes it ideal for astrophotographers looking to capture widefield views of the night sky. It’s also an excellent match for longer focal lengths, capturing intricate details on even the smallest and faintest of objects. Whatever your astrophotography style, the large size of the images give you the freedom and flexibility to zoom in and take a closer look at regions of interest with the level of detail you’d expect from your main target.

Using Filters

The large size of the sensor is a match for 2″ filters, and is perfectly complemented by the new EFW3 7-position 2″ filter wheel. Attaching the EFW3 straight to the front of the camera gives a backfocus of 41.5mm. You can also remove the front plate of the camera and attach the wheel directly. This brings the backfocus down to just 34.5mm.

The 16200 can also be used with the 2″ model of the EFW2 when used with an ATK 0081 M54 adaptor to couple the camera to the wheel. It’s also fully compatible with Atik Air, making it easy to add wifi and ethernet connectivity to your set up.

Housing the CCD in a sealed, argon-purged chamber creates a dry, condensation free environment. We’ve also introduced a dual-stage peltier and powerful new heatsink for optimum cooling performance. At -45°C typical and a huge -50°C maximum, it’s our best delta yet. All this means you can take stunning low noise images, even when the temperature’s rising outside.

Atik’s high-quality, custom electronics power the sensor to give a read noise of just 9e-. There’s also a new blade shutter which provides consistent and reliable performance over the camera’s lifespan.

All this is housed inside a brand new case design that gives you optimum performance with minimum fuss. This makes the Atik 16200 the perfect camera for astrophotographers who want large format images, without the large format price tag.

A note on CCD Grades

The Atik 16200 comes with a class II sensor fitted as standard. We feel that the premium prices placed on class 1 sensors just aren’t justifiable when using the camera for astrophotography. If you do require a camera with a class 1 sensor, please get in touch with your Atik dealer.
