ZWO ASI120MM USB 2.0 monochrome camera (ZWO, SKU: ASI120MM). This camera with a monochrome CMOS sensor is intended for lunar and planetary imaging and autoguiding. It records frames at 1280 × 960 pixels, while selecting a smaller readout area increases the capture speed. This is the classic USB 2.0 version with an ST-4 port.
• monochrome imaging without a colour filter array
• capture at up to 35 fps at full resolution and up to 215 fps at 320 × 240 pixels
• port ST-4 for sending guiding corrections to a compatible mount
• software 2 × 2 binning and selection of a region of interest, ROI
• included wide-angle lens for recording a broad area of the sky
• power and data transfer through a single USB cable

• maximum speeds at 1 × 1 binning: 800 × 512 — 102 fps; 800 × 400 — 108 fps; 800 × 320 — 158 fps; 640 × 560 — 98 fps; 640 × 480 — 113 fps
• maximum speeds at 1 × 1 binning: 512 × 440 — 123 fps; 512 × 400 — 135 fps; 480 × 320 — 165 fps; 320 × 240 — 215 fps
• maximum speed at 2 × 2 binning: 640 × 480 — 35 fps; actual values depend on exposure, settings and the computer
• software: drivers and applications available from the manufacturer; compatibility of the old USB 2.0 version with macOS and Linux is limited
The ASI120MM can serve as a camera for capturing lunar and planetary detail or as a guide camera. Selecting the readout area allows the capture speed to be matched to the size of the target.
