Player One Ceres 462M mono camera and autoguider sensor D=6.46 mm

Player One Ceres 462M mono camera and autoguider sensor D=6.46 mm

The Player One Ceres 462M adopts the Sony IMX462 1/2.8" format sensor. The 2.9 µm pixel size accommodates a full well capacity of 12 ke with a total of 2.1 MP. The resolution is 1944 x 1096 and the diagonal is 6.5 mm.

The advantages of the Player One Ceres 462M as an autoguider

You always find a guide star, even with an off-axis guider - guaranteed!

With the high resolution, you can easily guide telescopes of up to 11" aperture with a 50 mm finder - guiding with the finder becomes possible.

The practical 1.25" housing makes adaption easy. Push the camera into the 1.25" receptacle, focus and get started with guiding.

Short working distance from the front surface to the sensor - you can reach focus even with short maximum distances.

With only 70 grams weight, the focuser is almost not loaded.

Of course, ST4 cable and ST4 port are supplied. Connect the camera directly to the autoguiding port of the mount.

The advantages of the Player One Ceres 462M as an astro camera

Highly sensitive sensor combined with high resolution for ultimate lunar and planetary photographs.

Camera fits any 1.25" focuser. Clamp the camera like an eyepiece, focus and start astrophotography.

The high sensitivity makes the Player One Ceres 462M suitable for photographing nebulae and galaxies.

The camera is equipped with a clear glass window filter that is also transparent in the infrared. This makes exciting infrared photography possible.

DPS technology
The planetary cameras from Player One Astronomy are equipped with the DPS (Dead Pixel Suppression) technology. The DPS analyses dark frames to find dead pixels and records the map in camera memory. During imaging, each frame, each frame is filtered to remove dead pixels.

Overvoltage and overcurrent protection mechanism
The safety of your camera and other equipment is maintained through overvoltage and overcurrent protection mechanisms.

Data Port
When the camera is connected to the USB 3.0 interface and the full-resolution preview is used, it can reach 107 FPS in RAW8 mode (10bit ADC). When recording images, since the actual writing speed will be affected by the writing speed of the hard disk itself, when the hard disk writing speed is slow, the recording may not reach the theoretical speed. It is recommended to use a high-quality solid state drive to record data to give full play to the performance of the camera.
Use the ST4 guide cable to connect the camera to the corresponding port of your mount to do guiding.

Readout Noise
The readout noise valueas were obtained from actual tests.You can use Sharpcap 4 for testing. SC4 has a function called Sensor Analysis, providing a very simple way to test readout noise.
