In this video, I test out the new ZWO ASI533 MC Pro color camera for astrophotography in the backyard.
I show you how I set up the spacing with my Sky-Watcher Esprit 100 telescope and Starizona APEX 0.65X reducer/flattener.
The final image includes just 13 x 4-minutes of exposure time. Expect a lot more information about the ZWO ASI533 in the near future!

I'm setting up again with this rig as we speak (another clear November night!). I'll try the ASI533 WITHOUT the reducer next to give you a better idea of the FOV you can expect with a 500-600mm refractor. Thank you guys for watching! Clear skies

I have the ZWO ASI294 pro, and it is awesome, I have the skywatcher 100 esprit as well, and the results I get are truly stunning, all thanks to you Trevor. I have been following you for many years and I have learnt so much. I use the ASIAIR controller wireless to my laptop and as a result, I now do most of my astrophotography from indoors, which is great on these cold nights. My sincere thanks go to you :-)

@dannyliciousgenendlis9694 5 месяцев назад

U r totally awesome, I just started in this field. I live in miami florida, not even close to the weather u get. I'm learning a lot about astrophotography watching ur videos. I have so much to learn taking my time. I recently bought the z73 with the flattener, the asi120mm guide scope, ASI224MC plantery camera, the Asiair plus, and other things. The avx Equatorial GoTo Mount. All used, but it's still not cheap. I have not set it up yet, but I am still learning and watching videos. Thank you very much for want u do! Happy New Year!!!

@davidhins4307 4 года назад

Hi Trevor, I would have loved to know more about this camera. How does it compare to the ASI294MC on the same setup? Is there really no amp glow? is the 533 overall better than the 294 because of the smaller pixel? Is is more sensitive ? Would it be a better match for a RASA8 because the pixel size of the 294 is I think a little big for that telescope? We see your final image and it look great I must say, but it would have been great to compare it with an image from the 294 taken the same night.

Dang, after watching this. The telescope set up, the camera configurations, then the software editing to bring it all together. I feel discouraged. I am no where near versed enough to produce this experience for myself. Not sure i can honestly learn all of what’s necessary. Amazing photo at the end!!

@hdsinner 4 года назад

I'm super new to this but it makes 100% perfect sense to setup in the daytime. I work nights am in the middle of doing an engine swap on my car. Working on in it at night is rough. Even in the lit up garage with extra lighting. Just not the same as true daylight. I spend so much time looking for something the shadows.

@panagiotisbraimakis9982 3 года назад

Hi! thanks for the videos, you are doing a great job! I am wondering while seeing your setup, why are you using the FR after the focuser and not before ? so instead of Scope -> Focuser -> FR -> camera use Scope -> FR -> Focuser -> camera ? I have a CST 9.25 with the same camera and a the Celestron FR f/6.3 with a TS Monorail Focuser and i m not sure what the setup should be. Thanks!!! Keep up posting us videos

If this is my first dedicated astro camera, and I don't yet have a telescope (only a Rokinon 135 at this point - with plans to buy a proper telescope once I'm up to speed with the dedicated astro camera, lens and ASIAir) which camera would you recommend?

@cryptojihadi265 3 года назад

Damn! That capture of the Horsehead was amazing. Especially with the limited data. You just sold me on that camera. Now I just have to wait for my scope to arrive! Lol About 10 mos. Gonna be a LONNNNNG wait!

@davepitchford8732 Год назад

Hi, nice video - thanks You mentioned that the correct back focus for the 533 is 58mm, shouldnt it be 55mm? or is the extra 3mm because of the filter?

@dr.hans-ulrichkummer6601 4 года назад

Thank You Trevor; great video as always. Recently I bought the ZWOAsi183MC Pro cooled Color Camera. Real testing was not possible due to bad wheather conditions here in Heidelberg/Germany; I would like to ask You about Your experience with the new Asi533 color camera when it comes to processing the color pictures. I guess that the original File Format is FIT in greyscale; do you process it with DeepSKyStacker to get the color picture and does this work fine? Whats about AmpGlow; do You have to take extra measures against it or is it eliminated during the „standard“ processing with DeepSkyStacker? Greetings from Germany and always clear skies!

@Wolfie6020 4 года назад

Thanks for a great review and it looks like another winner from ZWO. I have the 294 and 183 Pro cameras already so probably no need for this one too.

I've had no scope or mount for a while now, just a 5D classic and tripod which I've been having fun with in the meantime. It's actually been quite fun to go back to basics, but I really want a scope and mount back! lol p.s that is one stunning Horse Head and Flame neb, with plenty of detail and texture in the wall.

@astrobert1254 3 года назад

Hi, great video! Thanks a lot! Im thinking about getting this camera but I am only mobile by foot so I have to carry my stuff. Mobile 12V batteries are either super heavy or only low in capacity and I wonder if you can confirm that the cooling at 20% produces already d-20C and only draws 0.5 A as it is shown in the graph in the manual? Since this would allow me to get a way smaller battery than one that can support the recommended 12V/3A! CS Robert

@MattWatsonAus 4 года назад

Hi Trevor. One thing that is not clear from your video is whether you dispensed with the Skywatcher dedicated field flattener to use the new focal length reducer? Also, which adapters did you use to achieve the correct focal length? Would be good to demonstrate the items in your optical train, as they are assembled. Just a thought, after going to the trouble of putting a video together demonstrating your kit.

You seem to have one of the filter sliders, Is that one of the Starizona slider & holders? I have been thinking of getting one of them. For us newbies can you elaborate on what spacers you are using and such. I'm still using a DSLR, but have the ASI294MC Pro on order. I'd imagine there are quite a bit of us newbies that watch your videos and blogs + facebook. Thanks
