With just 30 seconds of exposure time and subsequent stacking, you'll be able to capture faint nebulae and galaxies with this camera - without any active cooling! The main advantages of the camera at a glance:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUSB 3.0 for a fast download - can also be operated with USB 2.0\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVery sensitive CMOS sensor: quantum efficiency in the maximum over 75% (about 530nm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood resolution due to relatively small pixels\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSupplied with AR clear glass filter, which means full passage also in the infrared. If the IR is to be blocked, an IR cut filter is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHCG mode - if Gain (pre-amplification) is higher than 120 (12 db), the readout noise will be reduced below 2e - Result: Despite extremely high sensitivity, you will obtain low-noise images.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh full-well capacity: even bright stars do not burn anymore, they get a better signal-to-noise ratio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBig scope of delivery: adapters, cables and more\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZWO ASI Pro Features:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ASI Pro cameras include a 512 MB DDR3 memory buffer to help improve data transfer reliability. Additionally, the use of a memory buffer minimizes amp-glow, which is caused by the slow transfer speeds when the camera is used with a USB 2.0 port.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZWO ASI Pro cameras have an improved casing. There are four screws that seal the sensor chamber. Our camera design has been extensively tested and is very stable. Even when used in higher humidity environments, The camera will still work fine without dew problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZWO ASI Pro cameras also contain a 2-stage TEC cooling system that enables deep cooling (40°C-45°C below ambient Temperature). This reduces sensor noise considerably and allowes you to take breathtaking astrophotos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCooled ZWO ASI cameras need a 12V power supply, If you don’t have one, please check the recommended accessories for a suitable power adapter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExternal power supplies are needed for all ASl-cooled cameras. We recommend you use a 12V@3A~5A DC adapter (D5.5×2.1mm, center pole positive) or a lithium battery with 11-14V to power the camera. Be aware that using a power supply out of this voltage range will probably lead to irreparable damage to the camera.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColour or mono? Black and white cameras have the advantage of higher sensitivity and resolution than colour cameras. However, more effort is required to obtain a colour image. You also need colour filters and a filter wheel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAstro-cameras with the IMX294 color sensor are perfectly suited for RGB-imaging of deep-sky-objects. However, the bayer matrix of this color sensor causes artifacts in the H-alpha wavelength. These are very hard to remove in post-processing. Hence, this camera isn't suited for photography with H-alpha narrowband filters (or respective multi-narrowband filters, like Triad, etc).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%;
