Here there are some data on the camera. The vendor website and product page with technical specifications are here: http://www.magzero.it/MZ5m.html . Unfortunately, they are only in italian, so I translated them. Sensor: Micron MT9M001 monocrhomatic Resolution: 1280x1024 Pixels dimension: 5.2 x 5.2 micron A/D converter: ADC: 10 bit, output: 8 bit Max exposure time: 60 sec. Electronic shutter (??? they probably intended "there is no mechanical shutter" ???) Quantic efficiency: up to 56% USB connectivity: USB2 Frame rate: up to 10 fps @1280x1024 / up to 50 fps @160x120 Power: via USB Cooling: no Autoguide port: Integrated, ST4 UV/IR-Cut filter: no Dimensions: diameter 64mm, depth 32mm Weight: 105 gr. System requirements: Windows XP / Vista / Windows 7 (32 e 64 bit) They say that the sensor is a Micron MT9M001 mono, as the one in the popular Orion Starshoot autoguider: in fact both these cameras seem to be rebranded versions of a QHY5 camera (not the QHY5V and neither QHY5T nor QHY5-II, just QHY5): http://www.qhyccd.com/en/left/page3-1-2-1/qhy5-series-1-2-1/. Windows drivers can be obtained on http://www.qhyccd.com/en/top/download/ , in the "QHY5" subsection. Three drivers are necessary to get the camera work properly as an autoguider: - the camera driver (http://qhyccd.com/file/repository/Driver/QHY5Drv64V13-08-13.zip) - an update to it (http://qhyccd.com/file/repository/QHY5/QHY5UPDATE.zip) - the binding to the ASCOM interface (http://qhyccd.com/file/repository/ASCOM/QHY5ASCOM-V40.zip). Another set of drivers are available on the vendor website: - http://www.magzero.it/downloads/files/MagZero_MZ-5_update_4.zip These look like a previous version of the ones on the QHY site; the subframe problem is present also with them. The vendor claims that the camera supports binning. This doesn't to be true for the ASCOM driver, since there is no option to enable it. Thus in the tests I made, the binning was disabled and the full frame was at the maximum resolution.
