Experience with the ZWO ASI294MC Pro
Hello Mr. Kloss, I've now had the chance to properly test the camera for the first time and wanted to give you a quick feedback. Your advice was spot-on, as always, and I think the 294MC Pro is a good fit for my purposes (also in terms of price/performance!). Coming from an unmodified DSLR, I (naturally) chose a region rich in H-alpha, the Tulip Nebula Sh2-101 and its surroundings in Cygnus. Below are the images (“first light” of the camera, which is new to me), one of the entire field and one of a crop.
The camera works perfectly with the ASIAir; it can also be powered via the ASIAir, so only a power cable with a power adapter is needed for the ASIAir, and everything else is powered from there. The fan's operating noise is absolutely fine and "neighborhood-friendly," and it actually stops immediately when the cooling is turned off—so, in an emergency, you could still shoot without cooling if the fan were still too loud.
So, everything is great, and thank you again for your help!
Matthias K.
