The color sensor with a diagonal of approx. 16 mm can be used on almost any telescope.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eDue to the square shape, the corrected image field of the telescope is optimally used which even allows many telescopes without a corrector to be used. One of the outstanding features of the ASI 533MC Pro however is the sensational light sensitivity and the QE of 80%. Thanks to the back illumination technology and the very low amplifier glow, this camera is very well suited for all astronomical applications - Particularly for deep sky astrophotography.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMain features at a glance:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB 3.0 for a quick download - can also be operated with USB 2.0 - DDR3 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne of Sony's most light-sensitive CMOS sensors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh resolution through 3.76 μm pixels - ideal for fast and sharp telescopes, such as APO's, Hyperstar, Celestron Faststar, fast Newtonian telescopes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes AR clear glass filter - full passage even in infrared.

By up-regulating the GAIN (comparable to the ISO setting for digital DSLR cameras), you can reduce the exposure times to less than 30 seconds - This helps to reduce the problems associated with seeing conditions and tracking errors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor the Moon and Planetary images\u003c\/em\u003e, extremely short exposure times are also possible due to camera's high sensitivity.
