Product Description
The ZWO ASI174MM Mini Monochrome Camera is a compact and lightweight astronomy camera designed for accurate guiding and high-performance planetary imaging. It features a Sony IMX249 1/1.2-inch monochrome sensor with a 1936 × 1216 resolution and 5.86 μm pixels, delivering a wide field of view that makes finding guide stars easier, especially with off-axis guiders. Its 12-bit ADC, low read noise, and approximately 77% peak QE provide strong sensitivity and detailed imaging performance.
The ASI174MM Mini is particularly useful for OAG setups because its larger sensor provides a wider field of view than smaller ZWO Mini guide cameras. Its compact design can also reach focus at approximately the same position as an eyepiece, making setup easier. The camera includes an ST4 guide port for direct connection to a compatible mount and a USB Type-C interface.
