ZWO Camera ASI 294 MC Pro Color: the cooled workhorse for deep-sky in color<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The ASI294MC Pro has been one of the most widely used cooled color cameras in astrophotography for years, and that is no coincidence. The 4\/3-inch Sony IMX294 sensor (4144 x 2822 pixels at 4.63 micrometers, 23.2 mm diagonal) offers a generous field of view, a massive full well of 63,700 electrons, and a 14-bit readout with high dynamic range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The active TEC cooling maintains the sensor at a stable low temperature, keeping long exposures clean and dark frames repeatable. In HCG mode (from gain 120 upwards), the readout noise drops below 2 electrons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Large field, great dynamic<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The 4\/3 format captures complete nebula fields in one frame and is excellent for apochromats and Newtonians with a corrected image field. The high full well prevents bright stars from saturating while still rendering faint nebula tendrils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a quantum efficiency of 75% at 530 nm and low-glow readout, you can capture deep stacks with natural color gradients.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Cooled and complete<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The cooling requires a 12-volt power supply and rewards you with low-noise recordings, even on summer nights. The DDR3 buffer memory keeps USB 3.0 transfer stable during long sequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a duo-band filter, you can photograph emission nebulae even from the city, without a mono workflow.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
