ZWO ASI174 cooled color CMOS camera for deep-sky photography
ASI cameras stand for a very good workmanship and have modern CMOS sensors installed. Now, ZW Optical also provides these excellent cameras for deep-sky photography. Powerful Peltier cooling provides up to 45 ° C cooling below ambient for smooth, no-noise shots.

The ASI174MCC features a large 13.4mm diameter CMOS sensor. With 5.86 μm pixel size, the camera can be used universally. The sensor hardly shows "hot pixels". The camera weighs only 410 grams and is also very suitable for smaller telescopes. It can be used as well on Newton telescopes as on APO refractors. The camera sensor allows the use of 1.25 "filters without edge shading problems.

The "single-shot" color camera offers more comfort than MONO cameras. Not everyone wants to go through the elaborate L-RGB process for beautiful colored fog shots. The color cameras offer you the opportunity to get beautiful shots without changing the filter. However, good broadband fog filters (see recommended accessories) reduce the stray light and increase the contrast without having to change or coloring the image too much.

Advantages and product features of the ASI 174 Cooled Color Camera:

♦ Universal applications from deep-sky photography to lunar and planetary photography to use as an autoguider.
♦ USB 3.0 for a quick download
♦ Powerful and yet economical Peltier cooling - creates up to 45 ° C below ambient temperature
♦ Sensitive CMOS color sensor 13.4 mm x 11.34 mm and 2.3 megapixels
♦ Distance from the T2 connection thread to the camera sensor: 17.5 mm
♦ Supplied with infrared cut filter - no additional IR block filter required
