ZWO Rotatore CAA
489,0€ IVA inclusa
Designed for Use with the ASIAIR
ZWO has made controlling the CAA a breeze in the ASIAIR app, making it the perfect choice for ASIAIR users. You may also control the CAA using the ASIStudio desktop app or even use it with ASCOM driven software like NINA.
Automatically Recall Previous Camera Rotations
Astrophotographers know how frustrating it can be to lose the rotation of a project you’re working on. The CAA allows anyone to precisely frame the perfect astrophotography composition and repeat it night after night.
That’s right — when paired with the ZWO ASIAIR, the CAA allows you to automatically recall previous camera orientations with ease. It will determine the camera’s orientation based on plate solving of past images, and then the CAA will rotate your image train to match it within 0.1 degrees. This means you can easily image multiple targets per night at different rotations and easily swap back and forth!
Compact & Lightweight Design
The CAA weighs a mere 1.02 lbs (465 g), which keeps the total weight of your image train down. The body dimensions measure just 5.3 x 4 x 0.6 inches (136 x 102 x 16.5mm), making the rotator small enough to fit on nearly any telescope setup!
Ultra-Precise Positioning
The ZWO Camera Angle Adjuster features 0.02° / step resolution, allowing you to achieve an incredible positioning accuracy of under 0.1°. This allows you to easily repeat previous rotations, letting you get more keepable data night after night!
High Speed Rotation
The CAA can rotate at a speedy 7.5° per second, meaning it can do a full 360° rotation in well under a minute! Thanks to this fast rotation speed, you can find your target and be imaging with your planned composition in minutes.
Easy Cable Management
With just one USB-C cable needed to send commands and power the CAA, you can streamline cable management and reduce the risk of cable snags.
ZWO CAA Ports & Connections
The CAA features two ports: a USB-C port for power supply and data transmission, plus a hand controller port for connecting the EAF hand controller (sold separately), which lets you rotate the CAA manually when not connected to the ASIAIR or a computer.
ZWO CAA Compatibility Chart
Here at Agena Astro, we always want to provide the most helpful information. We created an exclusive Compatibility Chart for you to check if your imaging rig can work with the ZWO rotator.
| Camera | Guider | Filters | Compatibility |
| ZWO Duo or Air series camera | (N/A, built in) | ZWO filter drawer/wheel | ✅ Compatible |
| ZWO Pro series camera | Guide scope | ZWO filter drawer/wheel | ✅ Compatible |
| ZWO Pro series camera | Off-axis guider | ZWO filter drawer/wheel | ⚠️ May be compatible* |
| Third-party cameras | Guide scope | ZWO filter drawer/wheel | ⚠️ May be compatible* |
| Any camera | Off-axis guider | Non-ZWO filter drawer/wheel | ❌ Likely incompatible |
Off-Axis Guider (OAG) users: Generally speaking, image trains using an Off-Axis Guider (OAG) and any ZWO cooled camera are not compatible. This is because the OAG consumes the same section of the image train as a CAA, since both are 16.5mm thick. However, in the following cases, you may still be able to use both:
- Petzval telescope users may be able to use both an OAG and CAA in the same image train if they can still reach focus with both installed. This is because Petzval telescopes are not limited to 55mm of back focus like other telescope types. However, the 55mm back focus requirement will usually still apply if you plan to use an additional reducer/flattener on your telescope. If you’re using a CAA + OAG + filter wheel/drawer (with only the required adapters), be sure your Petzval telescope has a back focus of at least ~75mm.
- You may also be able to use both an OAG and CAA in the same image train if you choose to not use a filter wheel or filter drawer. We only recommend this method for advanced users as additional spacers / adapters may be required to reach your specific back focus.
Third party cameras may be compatible with the ZWO CAA. Certain brands of cooled cameras feature the same 17.5mm back focus distance as ZWO cameras and M48 or M54 threads. In these cases, the ZWO CAA may be compatible, but we only recommend this method for advanced users as additional spacers / adapters may be required.
