The
ZWO 290MM Mini CCD camera is a
compact and accurate solution for planetary and solar self-guidance and imaging. The precision of the monochrome IMX 290 sensor detects
more bright spots and stars in the sky, an essential characteristic for
good guidance , even in short exposures.
The camera resolution is
1936x1096 or 2.1mpx and the pixel size is 2.9 microns.
It incorporates a
standard ST4 port and
USB 2.0 with 2m cable. It also incorporates a
T2 M42 inlet thread, then a converter goes from this thread to 31.7mm for the filter cap.
The
CD with the corresponding software and drives for the use of the Camera are also provided. The ASCOM driver for this camera is available. However, it requires the prior installation of the ZWO SDK (Software Development Kit), downloadable free of charge on its website.
For the acquisition of planetary videos, it includes free software FireCapture, by Torsten Edelmann, which natively supports ZWO cameras.
