The ZWO ASI294MC is a versatile and highly sensitive color astronomy camera for advanced deep-sky and solar system imaging through a telescope. The camera incorporates an advanced micro-4/3 11.7-megapixel CMOS sensor with a 23.1mm diagonal and high quantum efficiency to help you extract maximum detail in your astrophotos while keeping noise and exposure time as low as possible. This camera is ideal for capturing images of astronomical objects like nebulae, galaxies, supernova remnants, and star clusters, as well as solar system objects. The USB3.0 port offers a fast capture rate of 16 frames-per-second at the full resolution of 4144x2822, 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 or focal reducer to get the best results. All software and drivers for this camera are available from the manufacturer’s website.
