## Overview

The ZWO ASI294MC-PRO is a professional-grade color astronomy camera featuring an advanced 11.7MP micro 4/3 CMOS sensor and TEC cooling technology to minimize noise during deep sky imaging. With USB 3.0 connectivity and a 256MB DDR3 buffer, it supports fast, stable data transfer at up to 16 frames per second. Designed for use with equatorial mounts and compatible with 1.25" and 2" telescope focusers, this compact, durable camera is ideal for capturing detailed images of nebulae, galaxies, star clusters, and solar system objects.

## Description

The ZWO ASI294MC-Pro is a versatile, highly sensitive color astronomy camera for advanced deep sky and solar system imaging through telescopes. The camera incorporates an advanced micro 4/3 11.7 megapixel CMOS sensor with diagonal 23.1mm to help maximize the detail of astrophotography while maintaining noise and exposure time as low as possible. The camera also features TEC cooling capabilities to reduce sensor noise and provide excellent performance when shooting subtle celestial objects. This camera is perfect for shooting images of celestial objects and solar system such as nebula, galaxy, supernova debris, star clusters etc. The camera has a built-in 256MB DDR3 memory buffer for fast and stable data transfer. The USB 3.0 port provides a fast capture rate of 16 frames per second at full resolution of 4144x2822 and provides a much faster rate at low resolution. Note: This camera is ideal for refractor telescopes mounted on a solid equatorial that can accurately track the movement of the air. It is not intended to take pictures through the telescope eyepiece. This camera produces color images without the need for additional color filters, but additional accessories such as autoguider and focal reducer may be required for best results. All software and drivers for this camera are available from the manufacturer's website.

## Features

- The ZWO ASI294MC-Pro Cooling Color Astronomy Camera captures high-resolution color images of deep celestial objects such as nebula, star cluster, supernova debris, and galaxy through telescopes on an electric equatorial mount. Also works for Moon and Sun imaging (Safe solar filter not included)
- Advanced micro 4/3 CMOS sensor with 4144x2822 (11.7 megapixels) resolution captures fine detail of celestial bodies. Integrated TEC cooling reduces the temperature of the sensor to ambient temperature below 35 degrees Celsius to create low-noise images of dark deep weather objects
- High speed USB 3.0 transfer with maximum resolution up to 16 frames per second. 256MB DDR3 buffer for fast, stable data transfer and reduced amplifier glow Includes a separate USB 2.0 hub to power accessories such as automatic guide cameras and electronic focusers (not included)
- Compact, lightweight and attractive red anodized CNC aluminum body stands up to the rigors of the field. The included T-thread 1.25" nose piece or 2" adapter allows you to connect to 1.25" and 2" telescope focusers
- Camera electronics are powered by the USB 3.0 interface of computer, but need a separate 12V@3A power supply to power the TEC cooler. All software and drivers are available from the manufacturer's website. Compatible with Mac OS X and Windows (32-bit and 64-bit) XP or later

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What size tip is needed for the power supply?  I have tried all the ones I have laying around and none fit.**
A: Does this camera work on any equatorial mount telescope?

**Q: Why is this product $270 above market price?**
A: I paid $999 in April 2020.

**Q: Does it come with all the accessories shown in the picture?**
A: Yes, it does come with eveything as shown. It does not however come with the 12V adaptor. That is sold separately.

**Q: I think it is a misspelling in the translation. Because in Spanish, (4th point) it says that the T2-1.25 adapter is not included. but it is right?**
A: Actually, the T2 1.25" adapter is included. If you scroll down to the description and see all the pics, it is one of the items listed. Hope this helps.
