Mini - All Sky Camera Lens

roysalisbury

I currenty am working with an ASI174MM for an AllSky Camera. However, I'm thinking that the 174-Mini would be a better option due to its size. The FPS is fine (only really need 1 frame/sec to 60 sec/frame).

Anyone know of a good lens that will give me about 170-180 deg FOV that will work well this this camera?

the sensor is too big，we suggest to search the wide angle lens for 1-inch sensor

Finding the lens itself is not the issue. Its the distance to the chip. I'm worried that I wont be able to get focus.

What about this one:

I already have this lens, and other than cutting off some of the image circle on the ASI174MM, its a good lens. Just not sure how it translates to the 174 MINI.

Yes, this one is suitable. Remember to buy a CS adapter from us. Use CS adapter with 174, the backfocus is 17.5mm.
