ZWO ASI 533MC-Pro
The ASI533MC PRO features SONY’s latest back illuminated IMX533 sensor, with a 1-inch square, 9.07MP sensor. It is one shot colour utilising the standard RGGB pattern of 4 pixels. Traditional CMOS sensors produce a weak infrared light source during operation quite often seen in the corner of uncalibrated images as the tell tale signs of ‘amp glow’. The ASI533MC PRO uses zero amp glow circuitry which combined with cooling provides clean long exposure images.
Skywatcher EQM35 Pro
The Sky-Watcher EQM-35 PRO Synscan Modular Equatorial Mount offers the versatility of two mounts in one! A normal Go-To equatorial mount and a lightweight photo imaging mount, which is convenient for travelling.
In standard configuration mode with DEC and RA axes, you can use it as a normal Synscan equatorial mount with computerised Go-To and tracking in both axes with access to 42,900+ objects in the Synscan handset's database. The payload capacity for visual use is an impressive 10kg in this configuration.
ZWO ASIAIR Plus
ASIAIR is a smart WiFi device that allows you to control all ASI USB 3.0 cameras, ASI Mini series cameras, and an equatorial mount to do plate solving and imaging with your phone or tablet/iPad when connected to ASIAIR via WiFi.
The plus built on the feature of the pro and addressed concerns over Wifi coverage with the external antenna.
First 'serious' rig with GOTO functionality. Bought 2nd hand as a complete assembly with ZWO ASI533MC Pro camera, ASI 120MM-Mini guide camera and ASIAir Plus controller.
