ZWO ASI533MC-PRO Deep Space Astronomy Camera Colored Cooled Camera with High Frame Rate and No Glow

Description:
- As an entry level camera for deep space photography, ASI533MC-Pro adopts for Sony back illuminated IMX533 sensor and 1-inch square frame, it is especially suitable for astronomical photography.
- As an iterative product, ASI533MC Pro not only retains the high quality features of ASI183, such as high QE and high frame rate, but also has no glow, readout noise as low as 1.0e, pixel size of 3.76um and level 2 TEC cooling guarantee. It is especially recommended for deep space photography beginners.
- IMX533 is a 1-inch, length width ratio of 1:1, pixel size of 3.76um, 9 megapixel CMOS image sensor. In ADC 14bit mode, it can output 20 frames/s resolution and the readout noise is as low as 1.0e, which is comparable to SCMOS or EMCCD sensor.

IMX533 Backlit Sensor:
- Traditional CMOS sensors have a metal layer on top of the photodiode, which blocks or reflects light when it passes through the layer, resulting in the photodiode only absorbing 70% or less of the light;
- Backlit sensors, on the other hand, have metal wire layers and diodes positioned upside down, allowing light to reach the photodiode without obstruction, resulting in higher absorption and imaging quality.

No Glow Process:
- Traditional CMOS sensors generate weak infrared light when powered on, which acts as a light source when the camera is exposed, thereby affecting the overall imaging quality; The ASI533MC PRO adopts a glow free process, so you don't need to worry about photo quality in both long exposure and high gain situations.

Level 2 TEC Refrigeration Guarantee:
- A level 2 TEC cooler can lower the C0MOS sensor to an ambient temperature below 40 ° C (based on 30 ° C temperature test results), greatly reducing the generation of dark current, and even with long exposure times of hundreds of seconds, the noise is very low.
- Note: The lower the temperature, the smaller the temperature difference.

USB3.0 & 256M DDR3 Memory:
- The ASI533MC PRO is equipped with a USB3.0 transmission interface, and even in ADC14bit mode, the output frame rate can reach 20 frames per second.
- In addition, the 256M DDR3 memory can also ensure stable data transmission and no frame loss during long exposure of the camera, while also reducing the hardware requirements of the shooting computer.
