ZWO ASI071MC-PRO camera - APS-C format color CMOS camera

ASI071MC-PRO is ZWO's newest camera with superior capability and high quality image. It would be your best choice for DSO imaging. Let's have a look at ZWO's newest camera!

Camera Sensor
Most famous sensor of Sony
APS-C(1.8") Diagonal 28.4mm
16M Pixel (4944×3284)
Very low read noise: 2.3e @24db gain 3.3e @lowest gain
14Bit ADC: provide real 14bit Dynamic range
Electronic shutter: no vibration problem with mechanical shutter

DDR Memory Buffer
ASI071MC Pro camera includes a 256MB DDR3 memory buffer to help improve data transfer reliability. Additionally, the use of a memory buffer minimizes amp-glow, which is caused by the slow transfer speeds when the camera is used with a USB 2.0 port.

Astrophotography Performance
ASI071MC Pro offers very good performance for astrophotography. Low read noise, high dynamic range.

Dark Current
the Dark Current of ASI071MC Pro is better controlled than before with the help of  DDR buffer and new improvment of hardware design.

Unique Tilt Adapter
ASI071 Pro includes unique tilt adapter. Say goodbye to tilt problems forever!

USB 3.0 Port & USB2.0 HUB
USB 3.0 Port: Provide 5Gb bandwidth to make it possible for ASI071MC Pro to run at 10 fps (14bit, normal mode) at full resolution(16Mega).
USB 2.0 HUB: Can connect with various accessories,  including a filter wheel, guide camera or electronic focuser, allowing you to manage your cables better. There are two short 0.5m USB2.0 cables included with the ASI071 Pro. The hub is powered by the external power supply if you connect one.

New mechnical design and Anti-Dew Heater
The ASI071MC-PRO camera comes with a completely upgraded anti-dew and mechanical body. The diameter of the camera body is incresed to 86mm (ASI071MC-Cool is 78mm).

6 screws seal the chamber
This new structure seal the CMOS chamber better.

Anti-dew and cooling system
ASI071MC Pro has a two-stage TEC cooling system that allows deep cooling (35°C-40°C below ambient). You will need an external power supply to power the cooler. An AC-DC power adapter is not included in this package, however you can order one from here.
We recommend using a 12V/3-5A or more DC adapter for cooler power supply (2.1×5.5, center positive).
Using a battery with 11-15V is also suitable for the cooler power supply.

The anti-dew heater will heat the AR protect window to avoid any dew problems. The heat anti-dew heater power is around 3.6W and can be turn off in software to save power.
