ASI071MC Pro Color Astronomy Camera - ASI071MC-P
ZWO
The ZWO ASI071MC Pro is a cooled APS-C format color astronomy camera designed for deep-sky, lunar, and solar imaging with professional-grade features. Built around Sony's IMX071 CMOS sensor with 16.2 megapixels and large 4.8μm pixels, it delivers exceptional sensitivity with exceptionally low read noise and a 14-bit dynamic range for clean, detailed astronomical images. The integrated two-stage TEC cooling system reduces sensor temperature 35-40°C below ambient, minimizing thermal noise for extended exposures, while the 256MB DDR3 buffer enables stable USB 3.0 data transfer up to 10 fps at full resolution with minimal amp-glow artifacts.
