CMOS & CCD Cameras

The cooled MONO PRO camera from ZWO has the newest Sony IMX492 sensor - high-sensitivity astro camera not only for deep-sky photography.

• Sensor: Sony 4/3" CMOS mono sensor IMX492 - "back illuminated" sensor
• Sensor diagonal 23.2 mm
• 4144 x 2822 Pixels with 4.63 µm pixel size (2x2 binning) - highly light sensitive
• 8288 x 5644 Pixels with 2.32 µm size (1x1 binning, unbinned) - extremely high resolution
• Powerful Peltier cooling up to 35 °C below ambient
• Short download time through USB 3.0 - can also be used with USB 2.0
• AR protection window built-in - full transmission even in infrared
• Connection: T2, 1,25" and 2"
• Separately screwed front panel - now the camera body cannot be unscrewed by mistake
• Extremely high sensitivity, maximum QE is about 90%. You can photograph dim nebulae and galaxies with only 30 seconds exposure time.
• USB2.0 connection for filter wheels, autoguiders or USB focuser
• Full well capacity 66 ke - 14Bit - even bright stars do not burn out anymore (full well capacity 14 ke when used in unlocked mode
• DDR memory buffer 256 MB for more stable data exchange - also minimizes amp glow with USB2.0 (characteristic feature of the new PRO versions

Cooled USB 3.0 medium format monochrome camera with powerful 44x33 mm sensor for ultimate class astrophotography

• Powerful, regulated Peltier cooling up to 35 °C below ambient temperature
• Medium format sensor Sony IMX461 (44x33 mm) with 100 megapixels
• High resolution due to 3.76 µm pixels
• Peak quantum efficiency 91%!
• 16 bit ADC - dynamic range like a CCD sensor for more gradations
• No more disturbing amplifier glow (amp glow)
• Anti-Dew heating already built in
• Working distance only 22.5 mm from M68 female thread
• With only 910 grams a lightweight for its size - does not stress the focuser much
• USB 3.0 for fast data transfer
• DDR3 buffer for stable data transfer
