Atik 4000 CCD Camera



The Atik 4000 CCD Camera incorporates a 4 megapixel Kodak sensor with 7.4um pixels, which provides an ideal introduction to the joys of large-format imaging, being much bigger than the Sony sensors which are typically used for astronomy.

At 15mmx15mm, the sensor array is a perfect fit for standard 1.25" filters, offering a considerable saving over the 2" filters required by anything larger.

Resolution from the 4000 model is fine enough for printing at A4 or even A3 size, and when viewing images on a computer monitor it is a pleasure to see details emerging at ever-deeper zoom levels. Both mono and one-shot colour versions of the Atik 4000 are available.

As standard the 4000 is fitted with a KAI 04022 sensor. This comes in a single commercial grade and is specified as having no column defects

While the other cameras in the Atik range use Sony sensors, the large-format cameras incorporate Kodak devices.
