ZWO ASI482MC Color

The ZWO ASI482MC Color is a versatile color camera with high light sensitivity, a large sensor area and excellent performance for lunar, planetary and deep-sky photography. Thanks to the Sony IMX482 STARVIS CMOS sensor, this camera is also particularly suitable for EAA, IR shooting and astrophotography at f/8 systems or faster.

The large pixels of 5.8 µm provide tremendous light output and make the camera ideal for use with refractors, Maksutovs and RC telescopes. The ASI482MC delivers clean images with low readout noise even without active cooling.

Key features
