The Cheapest ZWO Setup Ever! - Testing the New 585MC Air Smart Camera

ZWO’s new ASI585MC Air with integrated ASIAIR is here—a compact, all-in-one cooled camera designed for astrophotographers who want a minimal, cable-free setup. In this video, I test it under real skies, using a simple, portable rig with the Askar SQA 55 and ZWO AM3 mount. I show how the camera performs in narrowband imaging, including guiding through a dual-band filter, and I share stacked and processed results. I also compare it to the standard ASI585MC Pro and explain what makes this model different—built-in ASIAir, Wi-Fi, powered USB hub, and integrated guide sensor. If you’re new to astrophotography or moving up from a DSLR, this could be the easiest entry point yet. But it’s not for everyone—and I explain why. Thank you for using my affiliate links!
