ZWO ASI 174MM Mini: the premium guider with the large field of view<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The ASI174MM Mini is the guiding camera for anyone who never wants to search for a guide star again. With 1936 x 1216 pixels of 5.86 micrometers, the Sony IMX174 sensor is by far the largest in the Mini line. That large sensor field is exactly what off-axis guiding needs: even through the narrow prism of an OAG, there is almost always a usable star in the frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a quantum efficiency of 77%, low noise, and the familiar Mini format (60 grams, 1.25-inch housing), this camera combines sensitivity with ease of use. In addition to guiding, it is ideal for lunar and planetary imaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Made for off-axis guiding<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

For long brand point distances, such as those found in SC and RC telescopes, an off-axis guider is the most reliable guiding method. The limited field of view of an OAG requires a large, sensitive sensor\u2014which is exactly where the IMX174 excels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The large 5.86-micrometer pixels capture a lot of light per pixel, so that even faint guide stars can be used. The ST-4 port and USB 2.0 connection work with virtually any mount and guiding software.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

More than just guiding<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The clear glass window is infrared transparent, making the camera also suitable for infrared imaging of the Moon and planets in combination with an IR-pass filter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a back focus of 8.5 mm and the standard 1.25-inch mount, the camera fits into any off-axis guider, guide scope, or focuser.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
