ZWO ASI 174MM  USB3.0 Monochrome CMOS Camera – Precision Planetary & Deep Sky Imaging

Introducing the ZWO ASI 174MM  USB3.0 Monochrome CMOS Camera, bringing SONY's Pregius Global Shutter CMOS technology to the hands of amateur astronomers. This camera combines a large sensor, large pixel size, and high frame rate, making it a powerful tool for lunar, solar, and deep sky imaging. With its affordable price and superior performance, it's an excellent option for beginners and experienced astrophotographers alike.

Unlock the Potential of Lunar, Solar & Deep Sky Imaging

The ZWO ASI 174MM  shines in lunar and solar imaging, capturing detailed images of the Moon's surface and solar phenomena. For solar imaging, ensure you use a proper solar filter in front of your telescope or refractor to protect your equipment and your vision. This camera is also capable of imaging deep-sky objects with long exposures, up to 1000 seconds, allowing you to explore celestial wonders beyond the solar system.

ZWO ASI 174MM Global Shutter Technology for Sharper Results

Featuring SONY Pregius Global Shutter CMOS technology, the ASI174MM captures high-quality images without the distortion typically associated with rolling shutter technology. This ensures that fast-moving objects like planets, the Moon, or the Sun can be imaged with precision and clarity, producing smooth, sharp results even during high-speed captures.

ZWO ASI 174MM USB3.0 for High-Speed Connectivity

The USB3.0 connection ensures fast data transfer, enabling you to capture images at a resolution of 1936x1216 at up to 164 FPS (12-bit ADC) or 128 FPS (10-bit ADC). The camera is also backward-compatible with USB2.0 for versatile use with a range of devices. If you're using newer laptops, the USB3.0 speed significantly enhances planetary and solar imaging performance.

Monochrome Imaging for Higher Contrast

The ZWO ASI 174MM  is a monochrome camera, designed for superior sharpness and contrast, especially in L-RGB or narrowband deep-sky photography. The monochrome sensor allows you to use separate filters for capturing more detail, making it ideal for advanced astrophotographers looking for optimal results in planetary and deep-sky imaging. For those who prefer simplicity, the colour version (ZWO ASI174MC) is also available.
