The ASI camera series from ZW Optical is very popular with astrophotographers. This is due to their excellent workmanship, very good value for money and exceptional ease of use.
ASI cameras have always been especially suitable for planetary photography, but now ZW Optical also offers these excellent cameras suitable for deep sky photography - photosensitive CMOS sensors combined with active cooling ensure this.

Cooled ZWO ASI cameras need a 12V power supply, If you don’t have one, please check the recommended accessories for a suitable power adapter.
External power supplies are needed for all ASl-cooled cameras. We recommend you use a 12V@3A~5A DC adapter (D5.5×2.1mm, center pole positive) or a lithium battery with 11-14V to power the camera. Be aware that using a power supply out of this voltage range will probably lead to irreparable damage to the camera.
