ZWO ASI 533 MC

The ZWO ASI 533 MC camera represents a significant advancement in professional color astrophotography, building upon the success of its predecessor, the ASI 183 MC model. With its cutting-edge Sony IMX533 sensor, boasting high quantum efficiency and minimal noise levels, this camera delivers awe-inspiring images with unparalleled sharpness and tonal dynamics.

One of the key innovations of the ZWO ASI 533 MC is its utilization of the Sony IMX533 sensor, which incorporates the groundbreaking Sony Starvis™ technology. This integration has resulted in an unprecedented level of sensitivity, enabling the camera to capture even the faintest signals emitted by distant celestial objects in the far reaches of outer space. Furthermore, this product eliminates the notorious Amp Glow effect commonly found in many CMOS sensors, which often causes certain areas of an image to brighten during prolonged exposures. Despite the absence of active cooling, the camera maintains an incredibly low readout noise level, ranging from 1 to 3.8 e.

Encased in a compact and durable metal housing, elegantly painted in the classic ZWO red, the ZWO ASI 533 MC camera blends form and functionality seamlessly.
