Advanced Wide-Field Deep Space Imaging Bundle – Tailored for Aspiring Astrophotographers
This bundle is built for those ready to take a serious step into wide-field deep space astrophotography. Centred around the Sky-Watcher 100/550ED triplet refractor, it’s perfect for capturing expansive nebulae like the Orion and Horsehead Nebula in a single frame - thanks to the scope’s sharp optics, short focal length, and premium colour correction.
Paired with the reliable Saxon HEQ5 equatorial mount, this setup offers excellent tracking accuracy and load capacity for stable long-exposure imaging. The ZWO ASI533MC Pro serves as the primary deep space camera, boasting a cooled sensor and square format ideal for framing wide targets cleanly. It's paired with the ZWO M42 Filter Drawer, allowing fast, tool-free swapping of 1.25-inch filters like the included Prolong L-eNhance, which excels at capturing emission nebulae under light-polluted skies.
For precise autoguiding, the bundle includes the ZWO ASI220MM Mini guide camera and ZWO 30F5 guide scope, a lightweight and proven combo that easily mounts to the refractor. Everything ties together through the ZWO ASIAIR Plus (256GB version) - a powerful all-in-one controller that handles image capture, guiding, polar alignment, plate solving, and mount control.
Power delivery is simplified with a robust ZWO 12V 5A power supply, feeding all devices via the ASIAIR. An EQMOD cable is also provided, allowing direct control of the HEQ5 from the ASIAIR without the need for a hand controller. To prevent dew buildup on the refractor's objective lens, a dew heater strip (sized for 100–127mm tubes) is included - ideal for humid or cool imaging sessions.
This bundle is ideal for astrophotographers transitioning from beginner setups to a professional-grade experience. Whether you're aiming for richly detailed nebulae, star fields, or wide-field mosaics, this kit delivers the integration, flexibility, and performance to elevate your imaging journey.
