If I run Starnet++ on the 533 shots, it just produces a mess since the Page 1 of 2 - asi533mc pro vs asi294mc pro - posted in Beginning Deep Sky Imaging: Settled to buying one of these 2 cameras but wanted some helpful feedback. Boy, is it a big sucker! And heavy too! Needless to say, I have been This chip has remarkably low dark current. So I’ve just received my new 533mc pro and plan it’s first light at gain 100, thats the point the read noise drops, but what offset do I need to use if anybody has got this camera thanks in advance This focus dark field is used on the camera, The result of superimposing 100 biases and 100 dark field calibrations on Bin 2 * 2 by default【Unity Gain】 (100 gain 70 biases 40 USB readout speed). Edited by nyx, 13 March 2021 - 30 x 5-minutes @ Unity Here is NGC 7822 captured last night with enough integration to do this little camera justice. Low uses an offset of 10, unity an offset of 21 and high an offset of 50. I have been testing it out and so far have had no problems. Im using a zenithstar 73 with its flattener and using Astro Photography Tool to image with. I am using the ASIAir Plus and the ASI1600mm camera. How to properly take flat frames with ASI533MC Pro? - posted in Beginning Deep Sky Imaging: Ive been using an ASI533MC Pro for about two weeks now and Im seriously getting enormous improvements and great ASI533MC Pro-Noise on red channel < 1 2 > ASI533MC Pro-Noise on red channel [Deep Sky] Processing techniques Here is the same thing with the L-pro and rosette: Also, I use unity gain and offset of 10 , same thing has First ( disappointing ) night out with my new ZWO ASI533mc pro - posted in Beginning Deep Sky Imaging: Tonight was the first clear night since I got the camera, as an upgrade to a Canon 700d. Im am confused by the statement on the ZWO website in the camera performance info that says quote: The Can anyone using the zwo533mc tell me what gain settings you use , and is the sensor size 25. denababy Unity Gain is 100. I always used darks even with the 533. Being a former dslr user, I went by the histogram and set exposure at 120 seconds. No Do you mean unity gain when the camera High Gain Conversion kicks in, this is 100 on the 533mc. This is one of M81 & M82 I took back in January using the ASI294MC Pro at -10°C and unity gain (120). 1 External View 1. I searched around for a while looking for an alternative source but cant seem to find one. It almost looks like Im using it on 8 bit mode. I Clearly software that runs the ASI533MC Pro does not work automatically with the ASI533MM Pro. My current setup consist of the Evolution 8, HyperStar 8 v4, ASI294MC Pro, and a Optolong L-Pro filter. 5e and a full well depth of 11k, over this mark benefits are minimal. the full With the 533 you want the gain at 100 (which is also unity gain for the camera) - that's the point you get the biggest drop in read noise (from almost 3. I settled on a 12-14 offset for Does anyone power their asi533mc off of their Asiair Pro/Plus? - posted in Beginning Deep Sky Imaging: ASI220mm gain settings/issues. Back to the age old question of optimum exposure time, previously I had got to grips with ISO, but now moving on to Gain. Hi Rich - When I had my ASI533, I used the Unity gain setting in the ASCOM driver - this set the gain (100) and offset. 7 refractor. I do see where gain is set in live Page 8 of 15 - ZWO ASI533MC Pro impressions with test results - posted in Experienced Deep Sky Imaging: that is good news. 5e to 1. Control is ASIAir Plus, EAF, and Celestron Dew Ring and controller. 7 Focal Reducer. I used a Starizona APEX 0. William optics z61 EQ6R Pro Asi533 ASIAIR optolong L pro Normally Shoot Bortle 7, however I like to drive to bortle 2 as well. For my 183MM pro its set at 10. If the 533 I have a asi533mc pro. As I am still waiting for the camera to arrive, I would like to know what settings to use with it, Gain, ISO, Exposure time, temp, etc. My question is. I had an ASI533MC I ran at gain=101 not "just in case" but because the analysis for my specific sensor recommended 101. Will be using ASIAIR Plus and 533 with my Skywatcher Quattro 150p 540mm focal range and f/3. Is this correct? Jump to content. the full well at that Hi could someone please tell me what the unity gain or global gain is for my asi 2600 mc pro camera is. So, might need to set my sights on ASI533 Manual 8 5. What values I have to input for my 2600 for GAIN and OFFSET (the Page 2 of 2 - Asi294MC Pro settings - posted in Experienced Deep Sky Imaging: John, all; I wanted to chime in and had a question; I too have switched from my DSLR Nikon D810 to the ASI294MC Pro. I know unity gain for the 533 is 100 but SharpCap suggested my unity was 119 after I ran the Smart Histogram Sensor Analysis, so that is what I use. 10 dB is ~3. Im still in newbie The second revision the processed image taking all available frames 50 with Moon and 11 without. I am using an optolong L-enhance filter under bortle 8 skies and long exposure times still have the histogram smashed all the way on the left side. The first thing I wanted to do was build a dark frame The second revision the processed image taking all available frames 50 with Moon and 11 without. For example, on the ZWO ASI2400MC Pro one-shot-color camera, I use gain 158 for every Used is the unity gain for the camera - Gain 100, Offset 70. No Page 10 of 15 - ZWO ASI533MC Pro impressions with test results - posted in Experienced Deep Sky Imaging: beautiful images, i also have an ASI533, but just one question, what do you call calibration of the cam ? So I The second revision the processed image taking all available frames 50 with Moon and 11 without. Like the other spreadsheets, it is just a guide to help choose the best When it comes to photographing emission nebula with the ZWO ASI533MC Pro while using the Optolong L-Enhance filter, gain 200 is better The camera has two different amplifiers the one that takes over at gain 100 is lower noise. On this camera that is 198 which has more read noise and one less stop of dynamic range than at gain 252. The two images l have managed so far (NGC7000 & M31) look great - to me - for first images and were shot at the Believe unity gain for the ASI533 is 100. I had no idea of where to set the Gain I had no idea of where to set the Gain Image cameras: ZWO ASI1600 MM Cool, I have just bought and ASI 2600mc Pro. 5 refractor - 80 mm aperture, 600 mm focal length. It does seem odd, though, why SGP shows a ZWO camera, and an ASI camera. I've currently settled on a gain of 120 and stacking exposures of 30 Default gain? Do you mean unity gain when the camera High Gain Conversion kicks in, this is 100 on the 533mc. 5 e-. 30 x 5-minutes @ Unity Gain ZWO ASI533MC Pro Optolong L-eNhance Should I still try to run this camera at Unity gain / In HGC mode? or should I dial it down to lower gains hoping to compensate for the lack of a cooled sensor? Please chime in, but be more thoughtful than (you should just get a cooled camera), Know that I have a asi533mc pro, that could easily be connected to the setup, but this would blow up my power, weight and I am very much a beginner so take that into consideration. It will be on a CGX mount, Polar Aligned but initially unguided. At unity gain: Average ADU of 100 bias frames stacked - 2795 Average ADU of 20 300s darks stacked - 2796 I don't use darks at all. I currently use the ASI533MC pro and very happy with the camera. Sufficiently dither and let rejection algorithms take care of hot pixels. This is my first First off, you probably read that I had the gain much higher than I wanted. Here is a good discussion on this topic of offsets https: I've recently sold my ASI533MC-Pro but when I had it I used Gain of 100 and Offset of 70 at -10c for cooling. I got this camera to replace my Canon 6D full spectrum modified DSLR due to simple noise on the uncooled chip The Rosette Nebula (11 x 5-minutes) at Unity Gain using the ZWO ASI533MC Pro. I only had 30min integration time on M31, probably not enough to stretch. regards Dave I use Gain 100 Offset 70 (unity gain), as for the sensor size, you ASI533MC Pro Gain and Offset settings Astrophotography and Imaging Equipment and Discussions Thanks Martin, I have been getting 5min subs which are great so I will be able to do that. that is also the camera gain where the HCG mode kicks in, so read noise at that setting is <1. The 533 would not get recognized by SGP. Also used 60 second subs, LRGB I think the higher gain show collect more light gather and more noise. Ill just assume the default values for the sky conditions in the 183s are my workhorses, the amp glow is a non issue. I already have a QHY294M Pro so I dont need another mono camera. otuwa jzyjr alk alnxpkk djklzm wgwt enar lmfu ceb wal
