New ZWO Planetary camera AS!462MC


Recommended Posts

Don't see it as major upgrade step from 224 / 385 / 290

It has similar read noise characteristics as 224 / 385 models - around 0.6-0.7e and pixel and sensor size as 290.

Peak QE is TBD, but I suspect it will be around 80% mark, maybe a few points more - again nothing significant.

Most interesting feature is IR capability of this sensor. It can be considered monochromatic sensor at 825nm and it has peak QE there - provided one uses rather narrow filter - like 20-30nm.

That is very specialized usage that does not have general appeal.

Its an interesting one for sure, clearly this sensor is designed to work in daylight and with an IR illuminator at night making it an ideal sensor for security cameras and reversing cameras etc. Suppose it could be used for IR imaging in the astronomy market.
