*TECcoolingmodule ismore efficientwhen theambienttemperature ishigh butthe efficiencyislower

when the temperature is low in the winter. This is due to the electricity consumption per temperature

Characteristics of the modiﬁcation

•CDSCooledZ6ismodifiedversionsofNikon’sgeneralpurposeMirror-lesscameras.

SomeoforiginalfeaturesofNikoncamerawereremovedandnewfeaturessuchas

TEC cooling and Drop-In filter holder System are added for high quality

astrophotography.Followingsarethedifferencesmadebythemodification.

1. LowPassFilteroforiginalCMOSsensorwasremoved.

2. InCDSCooledZ6HoyaClearfilterinstalled,andimage

blurringcanoccurduetochromaticaberrationonIRlights

recorded on the sensor so the image sharpness can

suffer.Thisismorepronouncedintheimagestakenwith

refraction optics than reflection optics. We recommend

youtoinstall inDrop-In filterholder UV/IRcutfilter, light

pollutionfilter and deep sky filter atthe same time while

imaging.MostAstronomicalfilterscutIRlightandwillhelp

toremoveIRhaloorblurring.

3. With CDS Cooled Z6, you can take IR images by

mounting a visible light blocking / infrared transmitting

filtersuchasaHoyaR72filter.

4. Various2”imagingfiltersor52mmfilterscanbemountedintheDrop-Infilterholder(DFH48).

5. Drop-InFiltersystemofCM2C/CM2Ndoesnothavethelenscommunicationelectriccontactpoints

sotheautofocus,lensinformationrecordingandpulsesignaltransferformotoroperationwhichare

based on the communication between the camera body and the lens are disabled even when a

6. IncaseofDrop-InFiltersystemofCM2C/CM2Nyoualwayshavetofocuslensesmanually.Some

lenses need power from the body for manual focusing and you cannot focus these lenses even

manuallywhentheyaremountedonAstroZ6.

7. ElectricViewFinderisaliveasbeforemodification.

8. In mechanical shutter mode, Shutter speed control of CDS Cooled Z6 is not valid in sub-second
