What a fantastic mini guider that will work well in Off Axis Guider, especially SCTs and RCs. Great performance and focuses at the same distance as an eyepiece. It also makes a heck of an intro planetary imager.

The ZWO ASI174MM Mini is the first mini camera brought out by ZWO and will make guding a breeze.  And before we get lost in the mindset of being a guider, it is a great introductory planetary imager as well.  Its small size makes it convenient to use in your imaging platform without causing much of a fuss.

Camera Sensor

ASI174MM Mini camera uses the Sony IMX174LLJ / IMX174LQJ 1/1.2" sensor (11.3mm x 7.1mm).  This camera has 1936 x 1216 pixels with a pixel size of 5.86 μm x 5.86 μm. The ASI174MM Mini provides 12bit ADC and its QE peak is 77%.  The sensor is designed for large field of view guiding.  If you have used an OAG in the past, you will know how helpful this is when looking for a star to guide with.
