Astro Camera Guiding and Planetary Photography 2.0 MP Mono

Astro Camera Guiding and Planetary Photography 2.0 MP Mono is designed for those seeking maximum sensitivity in both autoguiding and photography. Thanks to its monochrome sensor, this camera performs exceptionally well with faint stars and detailed planetary imaging — ideal for precision and control under all conditions.

✓ Monochrome precision – No Bayer filter means maximum light yield per pixel. Perfect for accurate autoguiding and photometry.
✓ Ultimate sensitivity – The Sony IMX290 sensor captures faint stars and structures that color cameras often miss.
✓ Compatible with narrowband filters – Capture structures in H-alpha, OIII or SII with full control over your transmission curve.
✓ Extremely versatile – Usable both as a guide camera and for planetary and lunar photography. Also suitable for scientific applications.
✓ Full software support – Works seamlessly with PHD2, N.I.N.A., ASCOM and INDI. Direct plug-in via USB 2.0.
