ZWO ASI461MM PRO IMAGING KIT

The ASI461MM Pro Imaging Kits include the following items:

• ZWO ASI461MM Pro medium format monochrome CMOS camera
• ZWO EFW 7 x 50mm square motorized filter wheel
  
• Your choice of Baader 50 x 50mm square LRGB & 3.5-4nm SHO filters or Antlia 50 x 50mm square LRGB & 3nm SHO filters.

The ZWO ASI461MM Pro is a medium format, high resolution cooled astronomy camera, featuring the Sony IMX461 back-illuminated CMOS sensor with 102 megapixels. Featuring a native 16-bit ADC, ultra-low read noise of 1e- at high gain and extremely low dark current, the ASI461MM Pro is perfect for professional and research applications or series amateur imaging (when matched with a suitably corrected telescope).

The ASI461MM Pro has a 11760 x 8896 pixel array with 3.76μm pixels. The sensor size is 44mm x 33mm with a diagonal of 55mm, therefore an observatory-class telescope such as a Planewave CDK is recommended. The sensor can be binned to increase sensitivity and full-well capacity. 

The ZWO EFW 7 x 50mm square is a motorized filter wheel designed for 7 filters with a size of 50 x 50mm square unmounted filters. It uses a high quality ultra-thin hybrid stepper motor that compared to standard electrical motors, is more precise as it has a smaller stepper angle.

Baader CMOS-optimized LRGB & SHO 3.5 / 4nm filters are precision-grade filters with high transmission at their respective emission lines. They are designed to work very well with modern highly-sensitive astronomy cameras and telescopes with focal ratios between f/15 to f/3.4.

Antlia LRGB & 3nm SHO filters give professional, high contrast results even under very light-polluted skies. The maximum transmission is between 88-90% with transmission off-band only 0.1%.
