ZWO ASI290MM USB3.0 Monochrome CMOS Camera – Planetary & Deep Sky Imaging Companion

The ZWO ASI290MM USB3.0 Monochrome Camera is your go-to companion for high-performance planetary, lunar, and deep-sky imaging. Featuring a 1/2.8” back-illuminated CMOS image sensor with a 6.46mm diagonal size, this camera offers superior sensitivity to both visible light and near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths, making it ideal for capturing sharp, detailed images in a wide range of astrophotography applications.

Advanced Imaging with Sony IMX290 Sensor

The Sony IMX290LQR and IMX291LQR sensors are known for their enhanced light sensitivity, offering two or more times the sensitivity in the visible-light region and three or more times the sensitivity in the NIR region compared to previous models. With a 2.9µm pixel size and back-illuminated structure, the ASI290MM excels in low-illumination settings, delivering bright, sharp images of celestial bodies such as Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, and the Moon.

High-Performance Planetary and Lunar Imaging

Designed specifically for planetary and lunar imaging, the ASI290MM offers the perfect balance of high sensitivity, low noise, and small pixel sizes, making it an ideal tool for capturing fine details on celestial objects. Its ability to support exposure times of up to 2000 seconds also allows for capturing small deep-sky objects with ease.

Optional IR Cut-Off Filter for Enhanced Versatility

Due to its high sensitivity in the infrared (IR) range, the ASI290MM does not come with an IR cut-off filter pre-installed, offering more flexibility for imaging in different environments. For those wanting to optimize performance across various scenarios, we recommend purchasing the ZWO IR Cut-Off Filter separately.

Autoguider Port for Dual Functionality

In addition to its imaging capabilities, the ASI290MM features an autoguider port, making it a versatile tool for both guiding and imaging. Whether you're focusing on planetary imaging or using it for guiding alongside another deep-sky imaging camera, this camera offers dual functionality for added convenience.
