Its larger sensor size offers a wider field of view to detect more guide stars, especially when paired with off-axis guiders. The camera supports fast USB 2.0 data transfer at 18.4 FPS, housed in a durable, lightweight red anodized aluminum body that fits standard 1.25” focusers. Powered via USB Type-C and compatible with Mac and Windows, it’s designed for seamless integration into your astrophotography setup. ## Description The ZWO ASI174MM-Mini is a compact monochrome astronomy camera intended for autoguiding during long exposure astrophotography or for planetary imaging. The camera incorporates a 11.3mm x 7.1mm sensor with 1936x1216 resolution. The ASI174 Mini has a larger sensor than the ASI290MM-Mini so it can detect more potential guide stars in a larger field of view. This makes it ideal for use with an off-axis guider when imaging with longer focal length telescopes. The camera also works well as a planetary imager. The ASI174MM-Mini weighs just 4.9oz, and the main body of the camera slips into a 1.25” focuser. The camera uses a small Type C USB2.0 interface, the same type of connector used by many cell phones, and its ST4 port enables direct connection to the autoguiding port on your telescope mount. All software and drivers for this camera are available from the manufacturer’s website. ## Features - ZWO ASI174MM-Mini monochrome astronomy camera for autoguiding during astrophotography or for monochrome imaging of planets, the Moon, and Sun (with safe solar filter, not included) - 2.3 megapixel CMOS sensor with 5.86-micron pixels, 1936x1216 resolution, and high QE and low noise enable detection of fainter guide stars; Larger sensor for a larger field of view to enable detection of more potential guide stars, especially when used in an off-axis guider - Fast USB2.0 data transfer at up to 18.4 frames per second at maximum resolution - Compact, lightweight, and attractive red anodized CNC aluminum body stands up to heavy field use and slides directly into 1.25” focuser of telescope or guide scope - Camera electronics draw power from your computer’s USB2.0 interface with Type C USB connector; All software and drivers are available from the manufacturer’s website; compatible with Mac OS X and Windows (32-bit and 64-bit) XP and later ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07C97T64Q | | Best Sellers Rank | #373 in Telescope Eyepieces | | Brand | ZWO | | Built-In Media | Adapters, Cables, Manual, USB Cable, User Manual | | Camera Flash | no flash | | Color | Monochrome | | Compatible Devices | Camera | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Continuous shooting speed | 18.4 frames_per_second | | Customer Reviews | 5.0 out of 5 stars 13 Reviews | | Effective Still Resolution | 2.1 mp | | Exposure Control Type | Automatic | | File Format | JPEG | | Focus Type | Manual Focus | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00607467927736 | | Item Weight | 60 g | | Manufacturer | ZWO Optical | | Maximum Aperture | 1.25 millimeters | | Mfr Part Number | ASI174MM-MINI | | Model Name | ZWO-ASI174MM | | Model Number | ASI174MM-MINI | | Model Series | ASI174MM-MINI | | Photo Sensor Resolution | 2.1 mp | | Photo Sensor Technology | CMOS | | Screen Size | 2.3 inches | | Sensor Type | CMOS | | Shooting Modes | Astrophotography, Planetary Imaging | | UPC | 607467927736 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Video Capture Format | MP4 | | Video Capture Resolution | 1936x1096 | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | | Zoom Type | Optical | ## Product Details - **Color:** Monochrome - **Exposure Control Type:** Automatic - **Shooting Modes:** Astrophotography, Planetary Imaging - **Video Capture Resolution:** 1936x1096 - **Zoom Type:** Optical ## Images ![ASI174MM-MINI 2.1 MP CMOS Monochrome Astronomy Camera with USB 2.0# ASI174MM-MINI - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61W94T8uF2L.jpg) ## Frequently Bought Together - ZWO ASI174MM-MINI 2.1 MP CMOS Monochrome Astronomy Camera with USB 2.0# ASI174MM-MINI - Celestron 93648 Deluxe Off-Axis Guider (Black) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/72018924-asi174mm-mini-2-1-mp-cmos-monochrome-astronomy-camera-usb](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/72018924-asi174mm-mini-2-1-mp-cmos-monochrome-astronomy-camera-usb) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-09-14*
