A 47 megapixel, 4/3" monochrome sensor combined with deep cooling for long-exposure deep sky imaging. The Sony IMX492 sensor and Player One two-stage TEC cooler let you capture fine detail with lower noise and extended exposure capability, while the camera body includes a rear tilt plate for field flattening and filter setups.
Sensor: Sony IMX492 mono
Format: 19.2 x 13.0 mm (4/3″)
Max Resolution: 8288 x 5648 (47 MP)
Pixel Size: 2.315 µm
The IMX492 sensor delivers 47 MP at 8288 x 5648 with 2.315 μm pixels on a 19.2 x 13.0 mm chip. That pixel density gives high sampling for small-scale structure in nebulae and galaxies when paired with appropriate optics.
Hardware BIN1 gives full 47 MP at native 12-bit depth and about 8 FPS (RAW8). BIN2 combines pixels to produce 11.7 MP at extended 14-bit depth and higher full-well, reaching up to 33 FPS (RAW8) for faster framing or brighter targets.
A two-stage thermoelectric cooler can reach about 40 °C below ambient, helping reduce thermal noise for long exposures. Cooling features include adjustable fan and anti-dew power, useful for extended imaging sessions in varying conditions.
The camera offers large full-well capacity differences: roughly 18.6k e⁻ in BIN1 and 65.8k e⁻ in BIN2, enabling higher dynamic range in binned mode. Readout noise can fall to about 1.2 e⁻ in BIN2 HCG mode, improving faint-signal detection.
A 512 MB DDR3 buffer stabilizes transfers and helps avoid frame drops even on USB 2.0. The camera provides USB Type-C data ports (USB 3.0 / USB 2.0) and multiple adapters including M48 and 1.25" options, plus a front tilt plate for alignment with filters and optics.
