ZWO Asi533mc Pro Color

The ZWO ASI533MC Pro Color is a compact, cooled color camera with a square sensor for deep-sky and planetary photography. The Sony IMX533 CMOS sensor with back-illuminated technology ensures high sensitivity, low noise, and sharp images of galaxies, nebulae, and the moon.

Thanks to the square sensor (3008 × 3008 pixels) of 9 MP and a pixel size of 3.76 µm, this camera is ideal for use with fast telescopes such as apochromats, Newtonians, or HyperStar systems. With a QE up to 80%, active Peltier cooling, and 14-bit ADC, this camera offers performance previously only known from CCD cameras – but with much higher sensitivity.

Key Features

• Sony IMX533 CMOS sensor (9 MP) – square format, 3008 × 3008 pixels
• Pixel size 3.76 µm – suitable for f/4 to f/8 telescopes
• Active Peltier cooling – up to 35°C below ambient temperature
• QE up to 80% – thanks to back-illuminated technology
• 14-bit ADC and low noise – for deep and detailed images
• USB 3.0 & DDR3 buffer – fast and stable data transfer

Applications

✓ Deep-sky photography: nebulae, galaxies, clusters ✓ Planets and Moon: sharp details thanks to high resolution and low noise ✓ Video astronomy (EAA) and short exposure imaging ✓ Color images without LRGB filter wheels

Specifications

Additional Info

✓ Includes clear AR glass filter (IR-pass) ✓ Comes with cables, adapters and carrying case ✓ Works on Windows, Mac and Linux

Please Note

Always use a suitable power supply (12V DC) for cooling, even when not actively cooling. An IR-cut filter is recommended for visual color representation.
