ZWO ASI120MM Mini Monochrome CMOS Astrophotography Camera
The ZWO ASI120MM Mini is a top-notch monochrome guide camera, well suited for both planetary imaging and acting as a guider to amplify the usefulness of other astronomy instruments. Despite being qualified as a 'miniature' camera, it still operates at a high level of performance; with a peak QE over 75%, a typical read noise of only 4.0e, a pixel array of 1280 x 960, and a pixel size of only 3.75 micrometers, it qualifies as a powerhouse despite its small size. It achieves all of this while presenting a small and slender profile, taking up a minimum of space in your imaging train. The interface for this camera is a Type C USB 2.0 port, similar to that found in several mobile phone types.

MexicoI ever buy my astronomic parts in Opt, it has ever been a very good and fast service, the asi 120 mini is a very good guider i am totally satisfied with this
United StatesI have been using the ASI120mm for more than two months as a guide camera attached to a Williams Optics 50mm guide scope. It replaced an aging DSI Pro that refused to play nicely with a new Win10 PC. The ASI120mm worked with PHD2 right out of the box without any problems and my guiding has been almost flawless since it arrived. I am very pleased with this camera.
Great little guide camera! And excellent service from Opt! Thanks Opt
United StatesAmazing. Highly recommended.
United StatesUse as a guiding camera And worked no problems with PHD2 right out of the box. No port problems as seen in other reviews (newer imaging computer)
United StatesI use this as a guide camera, it works beautifully! Zwo cameras are so easy to use, install the drivers, hook up the camera, and you are set!
