ZWO ASI 290MM Monochrome Camera
Item is discontuned
Product Data Only
The ZWO ASI 290MM is one of the newest members of ZWO’s camera range. Using a new Sony 2.1 mega pixel back-illuminated CMOS image sensor (IMX290LQR), it demonstrates excellent sensitivity in the visible and near infrared wavelengths making it ideal for astronomy. In fact the ZWO ASI290MM is thier best monochrome planetary camera.
The small 2.9 µm pixels and back illuminated architecture provides enhanced picture quality in low light while still realizing full HD capture. The benefit for astronomy is more than 2x the sensitivity in visible-light and more than 3x the sensitivity in near infrared over existing Sony sensors (eg: IMX236LQJ).
Capturing images with every single pixel collecting RED, GREEN and BLUE light produces unbeatable results.
The excellent NIR characteristics allows the use of specialized filters like Astronomik IR642, IR742 and IR807 bandpass filters. Used as luminance filters deep in the red produces better resolution and sharper “seeing” than at short wavelengths.
Couple the ZWO ASI290MM with the EFWmini filterwheel and Tele Vue Powermate to create the ultimate monochrome imaging setup.
