ZWO ASI120mini - the compact and powerful SW Astro Camera and Autoguider

The new planetary and guiding camera from ZWO makes you a successful planet photographer. The improved electronics and the sophisticated software achieve highest sharpness on moon and planets. Rejoice over perfectly round stars when doing long exposures, because the ASI120MM mini is a very sensitive autoguider.

Start doing video astronomy using the ASI120MM mini. With 35 frames per second at full resolution, you can produce a magnificent flight across the moon´s surface. Or create ultra-sharp planetary images within a very short time, by selecting and sorting out only the very sharpest frames of the video.

The ASI120MM mini as effective autoguider

With this camera autoguiding is made easy. With only 60 grams of weight the camera puts no significant stress onto the focuser, not more than a 1.25" eyepiece. Even with small guiding scopes or with off-axis guider the camera will always find a suitable guiding star. As a result of this, round stars at long exposure times will become a standard. Due to the high resolution you can guide telescopes up to an aperture of 10" using a simple 50 mm finder scope or Mini Guidescope

Due to the ST-4 level autoguider port you can connect the camera with your mount, via the mount´s autoguiding port. The corresponding cable is included.
