Brand: ZWO
Categories: Electronics, Camera & Photo, Binoculars & Scopes, Telescopes, Refractors

The ASI385MC is a versatile and highly sensitive color astronomy camera for imaging solar system objects and deep-sky objects through a telescope. The camera incorporates an advanced 7.3mmx4.1mm CMOS sensor with 2.1 megapixels and 3.7- micron pixel size to help you extract maximum detail in astronomical images. This camera is ideal for capturing images of the Moon, Sun (with a safe solar filter, not included), planets, and brighter deep-sky objects. The USB3.0 port offers a fast capture rate of 67 frames-per-second at the full resolution of 1936x1096, and much faster rates at lower resolutions. This is the non-cooled version of this camera. Cooled/pro versions are available separately. NOTE: This camera is best used with a refractor or reflector telescope mounted on a solid equatorial mount that can accurately track the motion of the sky. It is not intended for taking images through the eyepiece of a telescope. This camera produces color images without the need for additional color filters, but you may require additional accessories such as an autoguider, focal reducer, or barlow lens to get the best results. All software and drivers for this camera are available from the manufacturer’s website.
