ZWO designs and manufacturs its own line of CMOS astronomy cameras, ASIAIR innovative astronomy imaging controllers, harmonic drive mounts, EAF electronic focuser, ADC atmospheric dispersion corrector, filters and filter wheels and other accessories, and imaging capturing/editing software.
Very smooth movement feeling with bearing design, only 19 mm thick and weight 200g. Suitable for use with any CCD camera!
This camera is the smaller brother of the popular ASI174MM, but comes in a smaller, lighter format with a 1.25" form factor, with USB2.0 connection instead of USB3.0
Up to 7 filters can be installed in the numbered compartments that accepts 36mm unmounted filters (or semi-mounted Astronomik filters), and each can be selected for your eyepiece or camera from an imaging software.
This electronic filter wheel is certainly one of the smallest 5-position filter wheels in the world!
This USB3.0 connection gives you the opportunity to use it with newer laptops at higher frame rates, thus achieve even better results in planetary imaging.
With a large sensor, large pixel size, high frame rate and comparatively high resolution that makes it the best choice for a beginner who want to focus on Lunar and Solar imaging and try his skills in deep sky imaging as well.
84% QE peak, 20.18Mega pixels resolution, 15000e full well, 1.6e read noise, 19FPS at full resolution!
