CCD Camera ZWO ASI 294MM

CCD camera ZWO ASI 294MM Monochrome.

The new ZWO ASI 294MM camera has set a new standard of excellence in the world of astrophotography. Whether you are interested in deep space or lunar/planetary/solar astrophotography, with this camera you can work it all. There are not many camera systems that can do what ASI 294 can accomplish.

At the heart of the ZWO ASI 294MM offered to you at Telescopiomania is the Sony IMX294 CMOS monochrome sensor, which is known for its exceptional light gathering efficiency, low read noise and high resolution. The sensor will record images up to 11 megapixels in Micro 4/3 format. The camera has a dynamic range of 9 to 13 steps depending on the gain setting. The read noise levels can be adjusted between 1.2 and 7.3 electrons, and if you set the gain to 120 DB, you can get almost the full 13-step dynamic range with a read noise of 1.7 electrons.

The Zwo ASI 294MM works very well as a deep space camera. The cooled versions will reach temperatures of 35 degrees Celsius below room temperature minimizing thermal noise. You can take images of up to 33 minutes exposure with this camera, but with the low noise images it achieves, exposures of that extreme duration will rarely be necessary. When imaging deep space at full resolution, this camera performs exceptionally well with telescopes from 300 mm to 1,300 mm focal length, for example.

As a planetary camera, no other camera system can surpass the versatility of the ASI 294MM. For solar imaging, this camera can record full 11mp video at 19 frames per second and capture the entire Sun at a focal length of 1350mm. Being the monochrome version you will have to work with color or narrow band filters depending on the type of photography you want to do.
