Capture stunning, high-resolution images of deep-sky objects with the ASI294MC Pro USB 3.0 Cooled Color Astronomy Camera from ZWO. Equipped with a square Sony IMX294 CMOS sensor, the camera achieves 11.7MP resolution with low read noise and amp glow. The two-stage thermoelectric cooler lowers the sensor temperature by 95 F below ambient, dramatically reducing dark current noise for a clean image even with very long exposures. Cooling also allows you to match your calibration frames to your imaging for optimal signal-to-noise ratio. The camera runs on a user-supplied 12V 3-5A power supply.11.7MP Sensor The ASI294MC Pro features a back-illuminated Sony CMOS sensor with a resolution of 4144 x 2822. The 4.63 pixel accommodates an impressive full well capacity of 63.7ke. The sensor boasts a quantum efficiency of 75%.Native 14-Bit Analog to Digital Converter ASI294MC Pro features 13-bit ADC, delivering a dynamic range output of 14 stops. This significantly improves the image sharpness and contrast, and the contrast gradients are smoother and more natural-looking.Two-Stage TEC Cooling The sensor can be cooled to 95 F below the ambient temperature, holding down dark current noise. When the sensor is cooled to 32 F, a 300-second exposure would cause only 0.7e dark current noise in total, even lower than the camera's readout noise.High Conversion Gain Mode HCG mode comes on automatically when gain is set to 120 and keeps readout noise very low while maintaining the nearly 14-stop dynamic range.USB 3.0 & 512MB DDR3 Memory The ASI533MC Pro is equipped with a USB 3.0 transmission interface and a built-in 512MB DDR3 cache to ensure stable and secure data transmission. Under long exposure, it effectively avoids frame dropping and greatly reduces the glow effect caused by slow reading speed.
