ZWO ASI 533 MC

ZWO ASI 533 MC Professional Color Astrophotography Camera

The ZWO ASI 533 MC camera is a revolutionary step forward in professional color astrophotography. Building on the success of the ASI 183 MC model, this camera is equipped with the advanced Sony IMX533 sensor, offering unrivaled sharpness, tonal dynamics, and stunning image quality with high quantum efficiency and minimal noise.

Innovative Sensor Technology

The ZWO ASI 533 MC features the cutting-edge Sony IMX533 sensor with Sony Starvis™ technology, providing exceptional sensitivity to detect even the faintest celestial signals. This innovation eliminates the Amp Glow effect, a common issue in many CMOS sensors, which can cause unwanted bright spots during long exposures. Despite lacking active cooling, the camera boasts a remarkably low readout noise level from 1 to 3.8 e.
