ZWO ASI585MC-Air Duo

ZWO ASI 585 MC-Air è una camera rivoluzionaria che, grazie all’utilizzo di due matrici CMOS e all’integrazione con il computer astronomico ASIAir, costituisce un sistema completo per l’acquisizione e l’elaborazione del segnale raccolto dal telescopio. In pratica, questa camera elimina la necessità di elementi aggiuntivi (cercatore/guida o OAG e computer ASIAir), semplificando così significativamente la costruzione di un set per astrofotografia e facilitandone l’utilizzo.
