Camera Sensor

▶IMX071

Most famous sensor of Sony
APS-C(1.8″) Diagonal 28.4mm

DDR Memory Buffer

ASI071MC Pro camera includes a 256MB DDR3 memory buffer to help improve data transfer reliability. Additionally, the use of a memory buffer minimizes amp-glow, which is caused by the slow transfer speeds when the camera is used with a USB 2.0 port.

DDR memory buffer is the main difference between ASI “Cool” and “Pro” cameras.

Astrophotography Performance

ASI071MC Pro offers very good performance for astrophotography. Low read noise, high dynamic range.

Dark Current

the Dark Current of ASI071MC Pro is better controled than before with the help of DDR buffer and new improvment of hardware design

USB 3.0 Port & USB2.0 HUB

USB 3.0 Port: Provide 5Gb bandwidth to make it possible for ASI071MC Pro to run at 10 fps (14bit, normal mode) at full resolution(16Mega).

USB 2.0 HUB: Can connect with various accessories, including a filter wheel, guide camera or electronic focuser, allowing you to manage your cables better. There are two short 0.5m USB2.0 cables included with the ASI071 Pro. The hub is powered by the external power supply if you connect one.

New mechnical design and Anti-Dew Heater

The ASI071MC-PRO camera comes with a completely upgraded anti-dew and mechanical body.

The diameter of the camera body is incresed to 86mm (ASI071MC-Cool is 78mm).

▶6 screws seal the chamber

This new structure seal the CMOS chamber better.

▶anti-dew and cooling system

ASI071MC Pro has a two-stage TEC cooling system that allows deep cooling (35°C-40°C below ambient). You will need an external power supply to power the cooler. An AC-DC power adapter is not included in this package, however you can order one from here.

We recommend using a 12V/3-5A or more DC adapter for cooler power supply (2.1×5.5, center positive).

Using a battery with 9-15V is also suitable for the cooler power supply.

The anti-dew heater will heat the AR protect window to avoid any dew problems. The heat anti-dew heater power is around 3.6W and can be turn off in software to save power.

Luc – March 5, 2017:
Hi Sam, just bought a 071 and should be delivered to me by the end of next week. Just a quick question, can the camera be set to take dark frames automatically and apply them to each image taken. Having no shutter I don’t know if it is possible! If so what are the limitation , if any, in term of time or any other you may know. For example, I know some DSLR can and do it but for a maximum of 30seconds. Thank you. Luc

tony owens – January 18, 2017:
Hi Sam.
I have a possible high speed videography application. Trying to decide whether this or the MC1600 would be better. Can the ADC be switched to 12 and/or 10 bit output mode for a bit faster framerate on this model?
Also some information about ship date based on an order this week would be helpful for us to choose.
Thanks.

Sam, I forgot to mention I have just bought two 071 cameras and now looking at a Mono model to take an F.2.8 Canon or Nikon lens for my Asteroid search patrols. I need a fast, download image Mono camera that i can program to take 100’s of short, 30 sec, eps. in a given time. I ask want to do Time Lapse. What camera is best for all this and what software does the ZWO camera use that can do Time Lapse?
