The ZWO ASI174MM is an astronomy camera that earns its place, especially for solar and lunar imaging. Its 1/1.2-inch Sony IMX174 monochrome sensor, large pixels and high frame rates make it a natural match for H-alpha solar telescopes, white-light solar setups and for shooting mosaics of the lunar surface, but its 2.3MP resolution is modest and it’s not ideal for deep-sky imaging.

Pros

+Global shutter helps avoid distortion on moving or unstable targets

+Fast USB 3.0 frame rates

+Large 5.86µm pixels suit many solar and lunar setups
