Description

ZWO’s ASI120MM-Mini 1.2-megapixel monochrome astronomy camera is perfect for planetary imaging or for autoguiding during long-exposure astrophotography. It incorporates a 1/3” CMOS sensor with 1280x960 resolution and 3.75-micron pixels. The ASI120MM-Mini offers peak QE of 75% and low read noise to give an excellent level of performance despite its compact size. The camera also includes an AR-coated window to maximize light transmission and protect the sensor. The camera weighs just 2.1oz and slips into a 1.25” focuser. It uses a small Type-C USB2.0 interface, the same type of connector used by many cell phones, and its ST4 port enables direct connection to the autoguiding port on a telescope mount.

  • It Guides!
Excellent guide camera at an affordable price.

  • Perfect guide scope
Nothing more to say, this is the perfect guide scope. It works flawlessly with PHD2 and has pretty good signal to noise readout, even in heavy light pollution. Possibly useful hack: put a barlow on this and make your guiding more accurate!

  • Solid Guide / Planetary camera
Using this with the SVBONY SV165 Mini Guide Scope and PHD2. Tracks very well. I also use it on an Explore Scientific ED80 as a planetary camera. While the scope is a little short for planetary work (480 mm) I was still able to get a passable (but small) shot of Jupiter. Planning on testing with Saturn as well as Lunar and Solar pics when the weather clears. ... show more

  • Great guide camera
I am using this camera along with a 60 mm guide scope to increase the exposure time for astrophotography. This camera is easy to use and does its job extremely well. I would recommend it for anyone who needs a good guide camera.

  • Love this thing
Works great with my computer. I can't get my mount to calibrate in phd2... but that's a mount problem, not a camera problem.

Compact, sharp guide camera for astrophotography

  • Great as a guide camera.
I use this as a guide camera in my 70mm meoptix guidescope. It works fine using ST-4 or ASCOM. The cable that snaps into the autoguide port is plenty long enough. However.... the cheesy 1 foot long USB cable is useless. Replace it with a longer ASAP. Unless you found a way to use your laptop within 6 inches of your scope........ ... show more

  • Affordable and it works
Paired with the Orion 50mm mini guide scope and everything works perfectly. Used with SharpCap pro for polar alignment and PHD2 for guiding.
