What in the world ... a $1,000,000 ZWO camera?!

[raadoo]

Does anyone know anything about this ASI991MM? https://astronomy-imaging-camera.com/product/asi990mm-pro-asi991mm-pro-2 

Apparently, ZWO are entering the scientific, SWIR game?

You would need two of these, one for the guide camera and one to image for daytime capture of DSO's.

Why do they never use round figures, it's always 99p not a pound isn't it, even at this price range why isn't it a round million ?

Quite true, maybe I will order a spare as well just in case 🙂 
If these can image through the clouds then that is just what I need in Yorkshire, so long as it doesn't rain.

Who would pay a million for a camera? 🤣

I think it is just attention grabbing, as it says, "price to be determined."    🤔

Oh I hope so, I don't have to move from Yorkshire then 🙂 

So long as I can get NINA to update it to wipe during the dither.

Y'all thinking they mean USD. Nope, it's Guyanaese dollars: GY$1.00 = GBP0.0043, so £4299.99 which is probably quite reasonable! 🤣

This camera allows you to see deep into your soul and wonder why you spent so much money on it.

It says price to be determined, so they probably just had to enter something into the database. And they could hardly enter $ 0.01. This is an IR camera, and InGaAs sensors aren't cheap. So even when they do set a price, it will be high per mm2 sensor area.

An interesting development though, and I eagerly await results with this camera.
