ZWO ASI224MC [COLOUR]

You always get what you pay for, but at less than $300 this is a surprisingly marvellous little camera for what it offers. Out of the box it has ASI imaging support software which runs on my Mac. Moreover, the ZWO Software Development Kit (SDK) has allowed me to write my own imaging software which runs on my Raspberry Pi (RP) with excellent results.

All I need now are some excellent viewing nights with my Celestron SE6 telescope and the camera attached :):)

Was trying for a while with my dslr but getting average results, now I'm geting images that I'm really happy with as a beginner

I got this camera as I wanted to get some more detailed planetary, lunar, solar and satellite (mainly ISS) images. All I can say is I’m extremely impressed! I had an SvBony SV105 before and this camera is leaps and bounds ahead of it in terms of quality! It is worth every cent more than the real budget options like the svbony I had. I’ve attached 2 pictures of Saturn, one taken with my old svbony and one taken with the 224MC. I used a 10in dob reflector for the sv’s image and an 8in dob reflector for the 224MC’s. Even through the smaller scope the image quality and planet detail is much better using the 224MC. I’ve also attached 2 of the ISS, both taken with my 8in dob reflector, one with SV and one with 224MC.
