ASI120MC-S USB 3.0 color Autoguider Camera (fish-eye objective included!)

ASI120 is a very fast and sensitive USB2.0 camera. Up to 30FPS under 1280X960 full resolution! With a peak QE of 75%, beyond ICX618 and with no FPN(Fixed pattern Noise)! Long time exposure supported up to 1000s.

Very good cameras with extra high image quality. Extra high sensitivity and extra low readout noise resulting exeptionally good image quality, or high snr (signal to noise ratio).

Output is 12 bit (over the usual 8 bit), readout time is very fast. ROI is supported, so it can be use as a lower resolution camera for planetary imaging with very-very high transfer rate. While transfer rate is 35fps at full resolution of the USB 2.0 models, the new 3.0 version has amazing 60fps maximal frame rate! At lower resolution it is even faster, 133fps at 640x480. Extremely good!

Supported OS: Windows XP 32bit/64bit, vista, Windows 7 32bit/64bit, Windows 8 32bit/64bit

ASI290MM (mono)

Diagonal 6.46 mm (Type 1/2.8) Square Pixel Array Color CMOS Image Sensor

Back-Illuminated CMOS image Sensors with Improved Visible Light and Near Infrared Sensitivity that Support 1080p

Sony has developed the approx. 2.13M effective pixel back-illuminated CMOS image sensors IMX290LQR and IMX291LQR with improved sensitivity in the visible-light and near infrared light regions for industrial applications.
A new 2.9 µm-square unit pixel has been developed that combines a back-illuminated structure with technology for improving near infrared sensitivity to further enhance picture quality at low illumination while at the same time realizing Full HD cameras for industrial applications. This realizes two or more times the sensitivity in the visible-light region and three or more times the sensitivity in the near infrared light region than that of the existing Sony product (IMX236LQJ).

Astrophotography Performance

ASI290MM offers very good performance for astrophotography. Low read noise, high dynamic range, QE peak about 80%, AR protective window and much more.

High QE

Relative QE Curve, we estimate the Peak Value is about 80%.

USB 3.0 Port & ST4 Port

USB 3.0 Port: can provide 5Gb bandwidth to let ASI290 run at 82.2fps (12bit, normal mode) or 170 fps (10bit, high speed mode)  at full resolution(2.1Mega).

ST4 Port: can be used connect with auto guide port of mount, for guiding.

Drivers and Softwares:

Our website has newest camera drivers and many DSO and Planetary capture softwares. Please make sure the newest driver and software has been installed before you start shooting:
