La Player One Mars-C II est destinée à l'imagerie planétaire, lunaire et solaire (Soleil uniquement avec un filtre adapté) par « lucky imaging » : on filme quelques minutes jusqu'à 108 images/s puis on empile les meilleures images. Avec des pixels de 2,9 µm, visez un rapport F/D d'environ f/9 à f/15 sur les planètes, avec une lentille de Barlow si nécessaire. Elle sert aussi de caméra d'autoguidage.
Le Sony IMX662 (STARVIS 2) offre un bruit de lecture de 0,7 e⁻ et 54 ke⁻ de capacité de puits pour des pixels de 2,9 µm, une bonne sensibilité dans le proche infrarouge et aucun amp glow. Avec 108 images/s en 1936 × 1100, c'est l'un des meilleurs capteurs à petit prix pour les planètes et le guidage.
Non : elle est alimentée par son câble USB. Aucune alimentation externe n'est nécessaire.
Le backfocus de la caméra est de 12,5 mm. Raccordement : 1,25″ ; M42 × 0,75.
Oui : sa fenêtre est seulement antireflet. Ajoutez un filtre UV/IR-cut ZWO 1,25″ pour des images nettes et des couleurs justes. Pour les planètes basses sur l'horizon, un correcteur de dispersion atmosphérique ZWO ADC améliore nettement la netteté.
