Product Description

ASI071MC Pro

Camera Sensor

▶IMX071

Most famous sensor of Sony
APS-C(1.8″) Diagonal 28.4mm
16M Pixel (4944×3284)
Very low read noise: 2.3e @24db gain 3.3e @lowest gain
14Bit ADC: provide real 14bit Dynamic range
Electronic shutter: no vibration problem with mechanical shutter

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 controlled than before with the help of DDR buffer and new improvment of hardware design

QE Curve

We suppose the QE peak value is more than 50%.

Unique Tilt Adapter

ASI071 Pro includes unique tilt adapter. Say goodbye to tilt problems forever ! ASI094-tilt-adapter-3mm

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 11-15V 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.

Lamar McLouth – November 6, 2020:

What are the threads for the M42-M48 adapter that is included with this camera?
Is the M42 side male and the M48 side female threads?

And the T2-M48 16.5mm extender, I assume the T2 means M42x0.75. Is this correct?
Finally please tell me the threads on the T2-M48 16.5mm extender. Is the T2 side male and the M48 side female threads?

Thanks!

Luis Martínez – May 15, 2020:

Hello,
my setup is as follows:

– Long perng 80mm / 550 + WO flattener 0.8x + Idas LPS filter (f6.8 / f5.5)
– Vixen Visac 200mm / 1800 + vixen flattener 0.71 + Idas LPS filter. (f9 / f6.4)

My Exposures are 5-10-15 minutes.
Which camera would be better for DSO, 294 or 071 or another?
Would you have backfocus problems?

Regards,
Luis

- Moson – May 18, 2020:
  
  If you want to exposure such a long time, you could choose the camera which has a higher full well and lower read noise. It could be ASI294. The backfocus is depend on your telescope which has flattener or reducer.

Luis Martínez – May 15, 2020:

Could I focus with a William Optics 80/550 mm + 0.8x Flattener and with a Vixen Visac VC200L + 0.71x Flattener?
What extra accessories would I need?

0
- Moson – May 18, 2020:
  
  If your flattener requires 55mm backfocus, you need some adapters. These accessories will come with the camera. And if the thread of your flattener is M42 or M48, this camera can attach to your flattener.

Patrick Arden – March 17, 2020:

Every time I use this camera my downloaded files are always FITS files. My latest version of Mac does not take FitsLiberator and I can’t get the latest version of photoshop to accept FITS files. Is there a way to download images from camera that are not FITS files? Thanks

- Katherine Tsai – March 18, 2020:
  
  Sorry, ASIIMG only supports 16bit fit file output since it is for DSO imaging, RAW files leave us with more space during post-processing.
  You can try other capture software, which allow changing file output type, or post-processing software, such as PixInsight.

Maciej Grochowski – September 10, 2019:

“Katherine Tsai – June 19, 2019:

Are you using ASI071MC Pro in ASIAIR?
ASIAIR outputs RAW fit files which is mono, it can be debayer in the post processing software.”

I am not sure if I understand – when I use this camera with Asiair I will see pictures in mono on tablet etc in Asiair app? And I add color only in post processing stacked image (using software like Gimp, Photoshop etc)?
Katherine Tsai :
“Yes, that’s what my means”
And this will happen also with Asi 294 color and all asi color cameras?

- ZWO ASI Camera – September 11, 2019:
  
  Sorry，i made a mistake for my latest answer.
  You will see the pictures in color when you use the ASI071 MC PRO with Asiair, but the outputs RAW files is mono which are from Asiair.
