ZWO ASI462MC Planetary Color Camera
The ASI462 color camera from ZWO uses the Sony IMX462 1.28" format 12bit ADC sensor. This camera has the ability to capture infrared lights and has a super high sensitivity and ultra low readout noise. All of these features provide users with excellent performance for planetary, solar, and lunar imaging.
This ASI camera is equipped with a built-in HCG mode. This mode effectively reduces the readout noise at high gain while keeping the same wide dynamic range when at low gain. When the gain is 80, the HGC mode automatically turns on. When it comes to read noise, it is as low as 0.47e while the dynamic range is still close to 12 stops.
