Player One APOLLO-M Mono (SKU: POA-APOLLO-M ) is a classic global shutter camera, appreciated by enthusiasts of high-resolution imaging of the Sun, Moon and planets. It uses a Sony IMX174 MONO sensor (1/1.2″ format, 1920 × 1200 px) with a large 5.86 µm pixel, which combines high quantum sensitivity (> 78 %) with a full well of ≈ 32 ke- and very low readout noise < 2 e- (HCG mode). A global shutter eliminates jelly-effect distortions, and a USB-C 3.0 interface with a 128MB DDR-III buffer enables smooth recording at up to 160 fps in full RAW10 resolution – perfect for lucky imaging .

Key Features of APOLLO-M

• Sony IMX174 MONO sensor – 1920 × 1200 px (2.3 MP), 5.86 µm pixel, global shutter

With its global shutter, large pixel and high sensitivity, Apollo-M is excellent for high-speed solar (H-α, Ca-K, WL), lunar and planetary photography. The camera can also serve as a precision guider in the OAG Mini, offering clean, rolling-shutter -free readings and high sensitivity in the near infrared.
