The ZWO ASI462MM Mono is an ultra-sensitive black and white camera for planetary, lunar and solar photography, equipped with the Sony IMX462 sensor. With its excellent IR sensitivity, low readout noise and 136 fps at full resolution, this is a perfect camera for fast luminance captures and stacking.
Thanks to a quantum efficiency of up to 89%, a minimum readout noise of 0.47 e⁻ and a full well capacity of 11,200 e⁻, the ASI462MM offers optimal signal-to-noise ratio. Ideal for those wanting to capture maximum detail from Jupiter, Saturn or lunar craters – and also usable as a compact guiding camera.
Key Features
- Sony IMX462 sensor (2.1 MP) – 2.9 µm pixels, 1936 × 1096 resolution
- QE up to 89% – excellent IR sensitivity for infrared imaging
- Readout noise from 0.47 e⁻ – extremely low for sharp details
- Frames per second – up to 136 fps at full resolution
- No active cooling – compact, fast and ready to use
- ST-4 interface – usable as autoguider
Applications
✓ Planets like Jupiter, Saturn, Mars – fast IR luminance stacking ✓ Lunar and solar imaging with high detail (use solar filter!) ✓ Deep-sky stacking at low gain and short exposure ✓ Compact guiding camera for astrophotography setups
