Good beginners camera

I found out that you need a lot of practice in working with cameras in astrophotography. This camera made it a little easier. it came with a fisheye lens and is a good beginners camera.

Piece of Junk

So first off, this camera has a TON of noise, worse than my cameras with a worse noise rating. It's not even good enough for polar alignment, the computer can't even plate solve whatever I point this thing at. My ASI120MM cameras are better than this thing, and I use those as guide scopes. Based on the images I could get of just stars, even with the highest gain, it's not good enough to even use as a guide scope. I feel like ZWO is trolling us with this camera, it's absolutely terrible. Returning this ASAP. I bought this for planetary use, but the computer can't even plate solve so it's impossible to point this to a planet. My ASI533MC is light years ahead of this thing. What's the point of a high FPS if you can't capture anything?EDIT: So I decided to keep this thing and keep trying. I put it on Jupiter at high gain and the lowest frame rate for video. The noise is TERRIBLE, and I recorded 5 videos and stacked those and it looked like absolute crap. I did video with my ASI2600 as a test and the picture looks 10 times better. Not sure what this camera could possibly used for, except maybe a guide scope camera. Waste of money, and now I can't return it. It's just going to collect dust at this point.

Great planetary camera

Lovely inexpensive option for planetary imaging. I used with a 127mm refractor. One image is with 2x Barlow and one with 5x, which was pushing the limit of my scope.

works well

First pictures with a SVBONY MK105 Maksutov-Cassegrain Astronomical Telescope.Jupiter was just the camera on the telescope, no Barlow lens.Picture was taken and stacked with ASI studio off the ZWO web site.Am quite happy with this Astrophotography camera and software which is easy to use for beginners.Not tried deep sky yet with it since where I live has lots of light pollution but will try with my 130mm Newtonian telescope eventually.

Not plug and play or even close

Either I'm too illiterate to figure it out or it's much too complicated to understand. My guess is it probably needs additional accessories to make it work. Connecting it to Celestron Nexstar and a Macbook was straight forward, however, seeing anything in the software was'nt happening. Instructions leave much to be desired....
