2. Camera Models and Sensor Type

There are 4 types of ASI120 models:
Models Mono or Color
ASI120MM
ASI120MC
ASI120MM-S
ASI120MC-S
Why do I choose ASI120?
It is mostly used for planetary imaging. It can also be used for deep sky imaging up to a certain
level. This new version comes with an ST4 Auto guider Port, so you may now use it both for
imaging and guiding.
Monochrome camera sensors are capable of higher details and sensitivity than color sensors, but
you need additional accessories such as filters. The post-processing is more complicated too. So
color camera is often recommended for beginner of astrophotographer.
ZWO ASI120-S CMOS Camera follows ASI120. ASI120-S has 3.0 USB port instead of 2.0 port,
with faster speed!
