Product Description

The ZWO ASI120 mini is an incredible planetary camera, but it really shines as a guide camera.  We find it pairs really well with the ZWO mini guide scope for a compact and effective guiding package.

The ASI120MM Mini (ASI120MINI) camera integrates the AR0130CS 1/3″ sensor (4.8 mm x 3.6 mm). It is a new model in the “mini”-series of cameras from ZWO. This camera has 1280 x 960 pixels with a pixel size of 3.75 μm x 3.75 μm. It provides 12-bit ADC and the QE peak is almost 80%.

The ASI120 mini-camera offers you very good performance for planetary imaging as well as for guiding. Low read noise, high dynamic range, AR protective window and much more are just some of the key characteristics that set it apart from the competition.

120Mini VS 120MM-S

Compared with the ASI120MM-S camera, the new 120-Mini has a sleeker design, less weight, and it can reach focus at the same position as an eyepiece.

USB2.0Port & ST4 Port

USB 2.0 Port: Mini camera has one USB2.0 type-C port. Type-C port is very popular in mobile phones, as it doesn’t matter which way you connect it (unlike for example type-A or type-B)

ST4 Port: The camera can be connected directly to the auto-guider port of the mount.

User Error?

I've been waiting to do a review because I have not been able to get an image from this camera. As always, I tested it in daylight via PHD2. All I get is a white screen. I've run the whole spectrum of camera gains, put my hand over the end of the ZWO guide scope, focused from end to end, and the white screen doesn't change. It is connected to my PC via USB cable. The cable that comes with the ASI120 camera is ridiculously short, at about 18". Maybe it's user error, but I've reverted back to my old Star Shooter, and it gives me images every time.

Amazing little camera, getting sub arc second guiding most of the time. Have bought more from All-Star and will keep buying from them. Excellent service.
