ZWO ASI294MC Pro Color

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.

Why Choose the ASI294MC Pro?

If you're seeking a compact, one-shot color (OSC) camera with advanced technology, the ASI294MC Pro is an exceptional choice. Its combination of performance, affordability, and cutting-edge design ensures stunning astrophotography results.
