Player One Astronomy Ceres-462M USB3.0 Mono Camera: High-Speed Guiding and Imaging

Optimized for Guiding and Imaging: Part of the innovative Dwarf Planet Series, the Ceres 462M is specifically designed for both guiding and imaging tasks, ensuring versatility for amateur and professional astronomers.
Advanced Aptina IMX462 Sensor: Features a 1/2.8” format sensor with 2.9um pixel size, boasting a well depth of 12ke and a total resolution of 2.1MP (1944*1096) for detailed captures.
High-Speed USB 3.0 Interface: Integrated USB 3.0 port enables data transfer speeds over 500Mb/s, significantly faster than USB 2.0, enhancing overall efficiency and performance during long imaging sessions.
Compact and Compatible Design: The 1.25″ diameter of the camera fits perfectly in standard 1.25″ holders of guiding scopes, making it easy to integrate into existing setups.
Cutting-Edge DPS Technology: Equipped with Dead Pixel Suppression (DPS) technology which analyzes dark frames to detect and correct dead pixels, ensuring cleaner image quality.
Overvoltage and Overcurrent Protection: Built with mechanisms that protect against power surges and excessive current, safeguarding both the camera and connected equipment.
Fast Frame Rates: Capable of reaching up to 136 FPS in RAW8 mode (10bit ADC) when connected via USB3.0, ideal for both rapid capture and slow, detailed imaging.
Guiding Capability with ST4 Port: Includes an ST4 guide cable for easy connection to equatorial mounts for precise auto-guiding.
Authentic Readout Noise Data: Offers verified low readout noise of 1.1e at a gain of 80, with performance data available through Player One's dedicated tutorials and software tools.
Durable and Aesthetic Construction: Each unit features the name of a dwarf planet engraved on its hexagonal structure, reflecting the camera's robust and precision-engineered build.

The Player One Astronomy Ceres-462M Mono Camera combines high-speed data transmission, advanced imaging capabilities, and robust safety features to offer a superior tool for both guiding and deep-sky imaging. With its compact size and high compatibility, it’s an excellent choice for astronomers looking to enhance their observational capabilities.
