ZWO ASI 185 MC Color USB 3.0 CCD Camera

The ZWO 185MC CCD camera is a compact and accurate solution for planetary and solar self-guidance and imaging. The precision of the color IMX 185 CMOS sensor detects more bright spots and stars in the sky, an essential characteristic for good guidance , even in short exposures.
The camera resolution is 1944x1224 or 2.3mpx and the pixel size is 3.75 microns. Available in monochrome version. It reaches the speed of 108 frames / second , with a depth of 10 bits. Acquisition rate reaches 515 frames / second at 320 x 240 pixels
It incorporates a standard ST4 port and USB 3.0 with 2m cable. It also incorporates a T2 M42 inlet thread, then a converter goes from this thread to 31.7mm for the filter cap.
The CD with the corresponding software and drives for the use of the Camera are also provided. The ASCOM driver for this camera is available. However, it requires the prior installation of the ZWO SDK (Software Development Kit), downloadable free of charge on its website.
For the acquisition of planetary videos, it includes free software FireCapture, by Torsten Edelmann, which natively supports ZWO cameras.
