- AR-coated protective window with a diameter of 21mm and a thickness of 1.1mm
- T2 thread connection for easy adaptation
- 120g and has a dimension of 36 x 61mm
Available on backorder
Description
The ZWO ASI462MM is a monochrome astronomy camera with a 2.1 MP Sony IMX462 back-illuminated sensor. It is an excellent choice for capturing high-resolution images of the Moon, planets, and Sun (with proper solar filter). It can also be used for deep-sky imaging, but its small sensor size makes it less well-suited for this purpose than larger sensor cameras.
The ASI462MM has a number of features that make it well-suited for astrophotography, including:
- High quantum efficiency (QE) up to 89%, which means that it is very sensitive to light
- Low read noise of 0.47e at gain 80, which helps to produce clean, noise-free images
- USB 3.0 interface for fast data transfer
- Built-in 256MB DDR3 memory buffer to help prevent frame drops during long exposures
The ASI462MM is a versatile camera that can be used for a variety of astrophotography applications. It is a good choice for beginners and experienced astrophotographers alike.
Here are some additional details that you may want to include in your product description:
- The ASI462MM comes with a variety of software, including SharpCap and ASI Studio, which can be used to capture and process images.
- The camera is compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems.
- The ASI462MM is available in two versions: with or without DDR3 memory. The version with DDR3 memory is recommended for long exposure imaging.
Low readout noise & high QE value
ASI462MM is integrated with HCG mode, which can effectively reduce readout noise at high gain and allow the camera to maintain the same high dynamic range as it does at low gain. At gain 80, the HCG mode is automatically turned on; the dynamic range reaches a level close to 12stops, and the readout noise can be as low as 0.47e.
QE value and readout noise are some of the most important specifications for astronomical cameras. High QE and low readout noise are essential to improve image SNR(Signal to Noise Ratio).
