The ZWO Camera ASI 294 MC Pro Color<\/strong> Is a versatile and powerful astrophotography camera<\/strong>, equipped with the Sony IMX294CJK sensor<\/strong>. Thanks to the back-illuminated CMOS technology<\/strong> this camera offers exceptional sensitivity and dynamic range<\/strong>, capturing even the faintest deep-sky objects with clarity and detail. This makes the ASI 294MC Pro ideal for Astrophotographers seeking excellent image quality<\/strong>, without the complexity of a monochrome camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this camera, all at short exposure times<\/strong> of only 30 seconds<\/strong> impressive deep-sky photos are taken - without active cooling<\/strong>. Thanks to photostacking<\/strong> faint nebulae and galaxies can be captured even under light-polluted conditions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key benefits<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u2714 High sensitivity for deep-sky objects<\/strong> - Thanks to the Sony IMX294 CMOS sensor<\/strong> and a quantum efficiency of 75% at 530 nm<\/strong>.
\u2714 Fast image transfer via USB 3.0<\/strong> - Also compatible with USB 2.0<\/strong>.
\u2714 High Full Well capacity<\/strong> - With 63.700 e-<\/strong> The camera prevents over-radiation of bright stars and delivers a excellent signal-to-noise ratio<\/strong>.
\u2714 HCG mode for reduced noise<\/strong> - At a gain higher than 120 (12 dB)<\/strong> the readout noise is reduced to less than 2 e-<\/strong>, which provides extremely detailed, low-noise shots.
\u2714 Widely applicable for various telescope systems<\/strong> - Suitable for refractors, Newton reflectors and Ritchey-Chr\u00e9tien telescopes<\/strong> with a f\/4 - f\/7 focal ratio<\/strong>.
\u2714 Compatible with duo narrowband filters<\/strong> - Ideal for photography of nebulae in light-polluted areas<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advanced image quality without compromise<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The ASI 294MC Pro comes with a AR clear glass filter<\/strong>, allowing infrared to pass through completely. For blocking IR light<\/strong> is a separate IR-cut filter<\/strong> needed. Thanks to ROI support<\/strong> only part of the sensor can be used for higher frame rates - ideal for planetary photography<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the camera no active cooling<\/strong> has, this not necessarily<\/strong> For standard deep-sky shots. This makes the ASI 294MC Pro an excellent choice for mobile astrophotographers<\/strong> which is a lightweight and powerful camera<\/strong> search.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note: Limitation in H-Alpha photography<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The ASI 294MC Pro is ideal for RGB recordings of deep-sky objects<\/strong>, but by the Bayer Matrix<\/strong> of the color sensor may cause artifacts when using H-Alpha narrowband filters<\/strong>. As a result, this camera is Less suitable for pure H-Alpha shots<\/strong>. For pure H-Alpha nevelopnames, a monochrome camera<\/strong> recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
