Player One NEPTUNE-M Mono (SKU: POA-NEPTUNE-M ) is a classic planetary camera of the first generation of the Neptune series, based on the sensitive Sony IMX178 mono sensor (format 1/1.8″, 3096 × 2080 px). 2.4 µm pixels, high QE (>85%) and very low read noise <1 e- (HCG mode) provide excellent contrast of fine structures on the Sun, Moon and planets. USB-C 3.0 electronics and a 256 MB DDR-III buffer enable smooth recording up to 60 fps in full frame RAW10, and the passive PCS radiator stabilizes the sensor temperature during long lucky-imaging series.

Key Features of NEPTUNE-M

• Sony IMX178 MONO sensor – 3096 × 2080 px (6.4 MP), pixel 2.4 µm
• STARVIS technology – QE > 85%, virtually no amp-glow artifact
• speed up to 60 fps (RAW10) in full frame, 200 fps at ROI 640 × 480
• full well ≈ 15 ke-, read noise < 1 e- (HCG) – high dynamic range
• 256 MB DDR-III buffer – no dropped frames during fast bursts
• Super AR Plus window – high transmission 350–1000 nm, reduced reflections
• PCS system (radiator) with the possibility of connecting active ACS cooling
• USB-C 3.0 interface (400 MiB/s) + ST-4 port for autoguider
• threads: internal M42 × 0.75 + nose 1.25″ – back-focus 12.5 mm, full compatibility with SFT tilter and FD MINI drawer

Neptune-M is a great choice for enthusiasts of monochrome planetary photography who wish to use narrowband CH ₄ , Ca-K or IR-pass filters for maximum resolution and contrast. The camera will also work great as a precision guider in the OAG Mini thanks to its high sensitivity and small pixel size.
