## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I use the same driver/software that I use for the asi224mc?**
A: I have 2 Zwo cameras they both work off of the same drivers.

**Q: Why is it billed as an 8MP camera when it clearly has “3 Mega Pixel” etched on it?**
A: That's a good question! I saw that this is engraved on the "All Sky" Lens. Maybe it has to do with the lens itself and not the sensor...I don't know really. Did you contact the manufacturer about this?

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ZWO Mind-blowing!
*by R***D on June 17, 2025*

I'm new to Astrophotography, but ZWO cameras are the Apple of camera's for this hobby.Absolutely shocked at what is possible and the detail this camera picks up!Still learning but attached an example of what I was able to get with the moon. Very worth it!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great little planetary camera
*by J***. on April 6, 2025*

A great little planetary camera. Researched several different ones and watched comparison videos. This was the clear victor.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pretty decent camera for both planetary and deep space.
*by R***X on January 8, 2025*

This is a pretty decent camera for both sun, moon, planetary AND deep space. You will still get a lot of noise in your photo that you need to removed in post production that you wouldn't get with a cool camera but still a pretty decent little camera that I'm happy with for the most part till I'm ready to upgrade. I was able to take this photo of Orion's Nebula with it after about an hour of stacking.
