Player One Mars-C (SKU: POA-MARS-C ) is a compact one-shot color camera designed for high-speed photography of the Sun, Moon, and planets. A sensitive Sony IMX462 COLOR sensor (STARVIS, 1/2.8″) is used, which combines very low readout noise with exceptional sensitivity in the near infrared. A 2.9 µm pixel and 1936 × 1096 px (2.1 MP) resolution provide correct sampling at focal lengths of 2000 – 5000 mm and high readout speeds – up to 120 fps in full RAW 10 resolution. A 256 MB DDR-III buffer protects against dropped frames, and a passive PCS radiator stabilizes the sensor temperature during long lucky-imaging series.

Mars-C Highlights

• Sony IMX462 COLOR sensor – 1936 × 1096 px (2.12 MP), pixel 2.9 µm
• STARVIS technology – QE ≈ 88%, complete lack of amp-glow artifact
• speed up to 120 fps (RAW10) and 170 fps @ 1280 × 720, 400 fps @ 640 × 480
• full well ≈ 11 ke-, read noise < 1 e- in HCG mode – wide dynamic range
• 256 MB DDR-III buffer – recording without dropped frames even on a slow disk
• Super AR Plus window – high transmission 350–1000 nm, reduced reflections
• PCS cooling system (radiator); possibility of connecting an active ACS module
• USB-C 3.0 interface (400 MiB/s) + autoguider port ST-4 (RJ-12)
• threads: internal M42 × 0.75 + nose 1.25″ (back-focus 12.5 mm) – full compatibility with the SFT tilter and FD MINI drawer

Mars-C is an excellent camera for enthusiasts of fast color planetary astrophotography. High infrared sensitivity allows the use of IR-pass 685/850 nm filters, which improves sharpness in difficult seeing . Thanks to its low weight and compact design, the camera will also work well as a precise guider in lightweight mobile sets.
