An affordable entry-level deep sky camera
The ZWO ASI533 Pro Colour Astronomy CMOS Camera is a great beginner astronomy camera suitable for both planetary and deep space imaging thanks to its Sony IMX533MC square sensor with 9MP resolution (3008*3008*) and 3.76μm pixel size.
New to the ZWO range, the Sony IMX533 is a back-illuminated image sensor which corrects for noise and image distortion which exists with tradition front illumination systems. This means better images due to its modern design. Furthermore, compared to traditional sensors, the ZWO ASI533 features zero amp glow due to innovative circuitry, even when running high gain long exposures.
