    ASI294MC Pro - Overview

    The ASI294MC Pro is the first camera in the world to feature Sony's cutting-edge IMX294CJK sensor. Renowned for its exceptional performance and affordability, this camera is a favorite among astrophotography enthusiasts.

    Back-illuminated Sensor

    Enhances sensitivity while reducing noise.

    4/3” Format with 4.63 µm Pixels

    Perfect for various telescope types.

    14-bit ADC with 13 Stops Dynamic Range

    Ensures high-quality imaging with exceptional detail.

    7ke- Full Well Capacity

    Reduces issues like star saturation, even with long exposures.

    Peak Quantum Efficiency (QE) Over 75%

    Ideal for capturing faint celestial objects.

    ASI294MC Pro - IMX294CJK Sensor

    IMX294CJK Sensor: Advanced Technology at its Core

    The IMX294CJK is a groundbreaking 10.71M-effective pixel color CMOS sensor with a 4/3 format. ZWO's enhancements expand the sensor to 23.2mm diagonally, delivering approximately 11.71M effective pixels.

    True 4K Output: Supports astronomic and industrial applications, providing a resolution of 4K at 120 fps (ADC 10-bit mode).

    Low-illumination Performance: Achieves SNR1s of 0.14 lx*, rivaling other top-performing sensors.

    Superior Imaging Performance

    High Dynamic Range: Offers 13 stops, surpassing the celebrated ASI1600MM Pro.

    Back-illuminated Design: Maximizes light capture by repositioning transistors and wiring, eliminating obstructions.

    Large Well Depth Capacity: 63700e-, three times higher than the ASI1600, preventing overexposure and improving signal-to-noise ratio.

    HCG Mode: Automatically activates at gain values of 120+, reducing read noise to < 2e- without sacrificing dynamic range.

    Cooling System for Extended Exposures

    The two-stage TEC cooling system effectively lowers the CMOS sensor temperature by 35–40°C below ambient, minimizing dark current and noise during long exposures.

    Power Requirements: 11–15V external power supply (e.g., 12V @ 3A DC adapter).

    Enhanced Connectivity and Accessories

    USB 3.0 Port: Supports high-speed data transfer with up to 16 fps at full resolution.

    Integrated USB 2.0 Hub: Connect filter wheels, guide cameras, and focusers with ease. Includes two short USB 2.0 cables for convenience.
