The ZWO ASI071MC Pro is a thermoelectrically cooled one-shot color astronomical camera. It uses a Sony IMX071 CMOS color sensor. It boasts an anti-dew and mechanical bodyof 86 mm in diameter. The chamber is sealed via 6 screws. This design improves the CMOS chamber seal to prevent dew or frost from affecting the sensor. Air leaks are not an issue, and the camera maintains its dryness in any environment.
With low read noise and high dynamic range, this camera offers exceptional performance for astrophotography. The PCB board on the ASI071MC Pro has also received an upgrade. The dark current noise has been drastically reduced and is now similar to a CCD camera.
