ZWO Camera ASI 715 MC Color: The Finest Pixels for Short Focal Lengths
The ASI715MC has the smallest pixels in ZWO's planetary lineup: 1.45 micrometers, on a Sony IMX715 Starvis 2 sensor with 3864 x 2192 pixels. This allows you to extract maximum detail from telescopes with short to medium focal lengths, often without a Barlow lens.
De sensor is volledig vrij van versterkergloed, heeft een uitleesruis tot 0,8 elektron en is gevoelig tot in het nabij-infrarood. Bijzonder is de passieve koeling (PCS): de sensor blijft tot 15 graden Celsius koeler dan bij vergelijkbare ongekoelde camera’s, wat thermische ruis merkbaar vermindert.






Detail without extra optics
Waar andere camera’s een Barlow nodig hebben om fijn planeetdetail te bemonsteren, volstaat bij 1,45 micrometer pixels vaak de telescoop zelf. Minder glas in het pad betekent minder verlies en een lichtsterkere opstelling.
Capturing the frames needed for stacking at 45 frames per second via USB 3.0 is smooth; the ST-4 port also enables autoguiding.

Complete delivery, also for all-sky
In addition to the camera, the box contains a T2 to 1.25-inch adapter, dust cap, pre-mounted CS-mount adapter, USB 3.0 cable, ST-4 cable, and a wide-angle lens. With this all-sky lens, you can use the camera directly for meteor recording or sky monitoring.
The high infrared sensitivity also helps with observations under moderate seeing conditions.

For whom yes, for whom no
Hello planet photographers with short to medium focal lengths and anyone who wants an all-sky camera for free.
Not Those who work with slow optics (f/15 and slower); larger pixels are better suited for that.
