Due to the square shape, it even allows the use of many larger telescopes without a corrector.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA special feature of the ASI533MM Pro is the zero-amp glow circuit, which eliminates the amplifier glow that occurs with longer exposure times. This would brighten areas of the image at longer exposure times, particularly around the corners. The electronics are also designed to reduce the effect of external stray light, so you can take longer exposures under light-polluted skies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of the outstanding features of the ASI 533MM Pro is its sensational light sensitivity. The QE of 80% thanks to back illumination technology along with the very low amplifier glow make this camera very suitable for all astronomical applications, but especially for deep-sky astrophotography.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdvantages and features of the ASI 533MM Pro camera:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB 3.0 for fast download - can also be used with USB 2.0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDDR3 memory buffer for stable data transfer with USB2.0 - This minimizes amplifier glow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowerful Peltier cooling up to 35°C below ambient conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne of Sony´s most light-sensitive CMOS sensors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh resolution by 3.76 µm pixels - ideal for fast and sharp telescopes like APO's, Hyperstar, Celestron Faststar, Newtonian telescopes etc.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied with AR clear glass filter - full transmission also in infrared.

The camera can be cooled up to 35°C below ambient temperature. By raising the Gain level (comparable to the ISO setting for digital SLR cameras), you can reduce exposure times to less than 30 seconds. Effects caused by air turbulence or inaccuracies in tracking are therefore dramatically reduced.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLunar and planetary images:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eExtremely short exposure times due to high sensitivity freeze the air turbulence. Due to the high resolution of the sensor, many details can be imaged even with a shorter telescope focal length. Video 'Lucky Imaging' astrophotography is also possible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBack illumination technology:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSony's back-illuminated CMOS image sensor improves sensitivity and noise reduction, which are the key factors to enhancing image quality. This retains the advantages of traditional CMOS image sensors such as low power consumption and high-speed operation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis allows significantly shorter exposure times and leads to an improved quantum efficiency of 80%.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eZero amp glow:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTraditional CMOS sensors produce a weak infrared light source during operation quite often seen in the corner of uncalibrated images as the tell tale signs of 'amp glow'. As the ASI533MM Pro uses zero amp glow circuitry, you won't have to worry about amp glow even when using high gain, long exposure imaging.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eImportant: external power supply required!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlease notice that all ZWO cameras with a cooler need to be connected to an external 11-15 V power supply to work. Even when the cooler is not being used the power supply must be used for the camera to operate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGood storage is an important factor in the prevention against dew and also extends the life span of the camera. Always ensure your camera is stored in a cool dry place and any excess moisture from dew or frost is removed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSensor: Sony Mono IMX533 square back-illuminated CMOS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSensor size: 11.31mm x 11.31mm - 15.97mm diagonal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePixel size: 3.76 µm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePixel number: 9 megapixels, 3008x3008\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eADC: 14 bit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCooling: Powerful Peltier cooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull well: 50ke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReadout noise: 1.0 to 3.8e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSensitivity: Peak 80% QE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrame rate at maximum resolution: approx. 20fps (approx. 54fps at Full HD)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower consumption: 12V, 3A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTelescope connection: M42x0.75 female thread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtection glass: D32-2-AR protection glass with full IR transmission\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorking distance from female thread to sensor: 17.5mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight of the thread adapter ring: 11mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorking distance from front surface to sensor: 6.5mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiameter: 78mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 470 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhats included:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCamera with 11mm high thread adapter\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.25\" connector\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB 2.0 cable (0.5 meter)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB 3.0 cable (2 meters)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eT2 M48 adapter - length 16.5mm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eT2 extension - length 21mm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdapter from M48 to T2 without effective length\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdapter T2 to 1.25\" filter thread without effective length (for example for filters\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4x spacer rings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDownload the latest Camera Driver from ZWO \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/astronomy-imaging-camera.com\/software-drivers\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ZWO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43330390687987,"sku":"ASI533MM-P","price":1286.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0596\/1924\/6275\/products\/ASI533MCP_4_67451e78-3b41-4cf1-be2c-7f352f4d0169.jpg?v=1664785321","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonastronomy.ie\/en-ch\/products\/zwo-asi-533mm-pro-mono","provider":"Horizon Astronomy • Telescope Center","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
