Vai al moduloZWO ASI174MINI Mono – Camera for Autoguiding and Astrophotography with Sony IMX174 Sensor
With the ZWO ASI174MINI, ZWOptical offers a special autoguider camera in the popular ASI 174 series. Its compact body and low weight make it ideal for any off-axis guider or guide scope. The high quantum efficiency of the Sony IMX174 sensor, its relatively large size and infrared sensitivity ensure a guide star can always be found; of course, the camera comes with an ST-4 connector.
The extremely sensitive monochrome camera is also perfect for astrophotography: it's fast enough to enable lunar and planetary imaging via Lucky Imaging (stacking). The pixel size is sufficient for planets, yet large enough to make the camera interesting for deep-sky imaging of faint nebulae too. Thanks to its short back focus, it can also be used on Newtonian telescopes not optimized for photography.
