The ZWO ASI071MC-Pro is a versatile and highly sensitive color astronomy camera for advanced deep-sky imaging through a telescope. The camera incorporates a state-of-the-art APS-C sized CMOS sensor (23.6mm X 15.7mm) and 16 megapixels and high quantum efficiency to help you extract maximum detail in your astrophotos while keeping noise and exposure time as low as possible. The camera also features TEC-cooling to reduce sensor noise for superb performance when imaging faint astronomical objects. This camera is ideal for capturing wide-field images of large astronomical objects like nebulae, galaxies, supernova remnants, and star clusters. The camera includes an internal 256MB DDR3 memory buffer for quick and stable data transfer. The USB3.0 port offers a fast capture rate of 10 frames-per-second at the full resolution of 4944x3284, and much faster rates at lower resolutions. 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.
