Introducing the new ZWO 30mm f/5 Mini guidescope, the next version of the popular ZWO 30mm f/4 guidescope. This new version offers a 150mm focal length at f/5 compared to 130mm at f/4 of the older version. This new guidescope provides improved sharpness and performance thanks to the higher quality optics. These features enables guiding at longer focal lengths.
KEY FEATURES Upgraded Optics: 30mm 3-Element Apochromatic (APO) with ED glass delivers even clearer and sharper star images with minimal chromatic aberration compared to the previous 30mm f/4 model. Longer focal length: The 150mm focal length (f/5) gives a higher resolution, enabling guiding with longer focal length telescopes. Compact & Lightweight: Weighing 348. This guide scope is higly portable and ideal for small to mid-sized telescope setups. Also great for travel setups. Smooth Focusing: The new non-rotating helical focuser allows for precise and easy focusing to ensure optimal star sharpness during guiding. Design: New sleek and modern design, compared to the previous version.
PERFECT FOR -Astrophotographers upgrading from the older 30mm f/4 models seeking improved performance. -Those using small to mid-sized telescopes for deep-sky imaging. -Portable setups that require precise autoguiding for longer exposures.
ZWO has developed the revolutionary AM3 equatorial mount, which
eliminates the need for counterweights. Weighing only 4.1kg, the AM3
boasts a substantial load capacity ranging from 8kg to 13kg. ZWO
prioritizes both portability and stability, optimizing the internal
structure with strain wave gear reducer and synchronous belt
technologies, resulting in precise control and an impressive reduction
ratio of 300:1. The mount is also versatile, serving as either an
equatorial or altazimuth mount.
ZWO has taken the extra step to develop a special strain wave gear
system tailored to the demands of astrophotography, ensuring minimal
periodic error and high torque. Each mount undergoes rigorous testing
and receives an exclusive PE curve before leaving the factory to
guarantee its quality. The internal structure’s optimization with the
strain wave gear reducer and synchronous belt contributes to accurate
control and the remarkable reduction ratio of 300:1 providing high
torque and precice tracking.
The best selling astronomical mount just got better! Introducing the AM5N:
New features: • Built-in Bluetooth • New USB-C port and 12v DC output on the saddle – forget the messy cabling! • Improved base design eliminates azimuth locking knobs • Improved tracking and less periodic error
The traditional equatorial mount requires heavy counterweights for
use. It’s normally very difficult to keep balance in RA and DEC
directions, also inconvenient for transit and storage, which bring the
astronomy amateurs a lot of extra weight to carry when they are out for imaging. ZWO AM5N solves this problem with ground-breaking harmonic drive technology, no need for counterweights!
Mount Body
The internal structure of the body is optimized with the harmonic
drive speed reducer and synchronous belt, bringing more accurate control
and an amazing reduction ratio of 300:1.
Astronomy-Dedicated Harmonic Drive Speed Reducer
ZWO jointly developed with well-known domestic manufacturers to
improve the harmonic drive speed reducer according to the actual needs
of astrophotography. It comes with very low periodic errors, smooth
gearing and high torque. The AM5 is born for astronomy.
ZWO measures each mount and equip it with the exclusive PE curve
before it leaves our factory. The X-axis represents the drive angle.
Y-axis represents periodic errors. The periodic error is stably
controlled within±20 arc-seconds.
5,5kg Mount Weight, Large Load Capacity
While the portability is very important, the stability is also
essential in use. AM5N combines these two features in perfect harmony. Load capacity of the mount is 13kg without the counterweight and up to 20kg with a counterweight attached!

Effortless Camera Rotation for Perfect Astrophotography Framing
The ZWO CAA (Camera Angle Adjuster) is a game-changing camera rotator designed for astrophotographers who demand precise composition with minimal effort. With its smooth operation, software automation, and robust performance, it takes the hassle out of image framing and ensures perfect alignment every time.
Despite its ultra-lightweight design, the ZWO CAA delivers outstanding durability and precision. At just 16.5mm thick, it seamlessly replaces the standard ZWO adapter while weighing only 465g. Equipped with a high-efficiency stepper motor, it allows precise 360° rotation without any structural deformation, ensuring rock-solid stability.
With a positioning accuracy of 0.02° per step and an angular error of less than 0.1°, the ZWO CAA guarantees pinpoint accuracy, giving you complete control over your camera’s orientation. Whether you’re capturing galaxies, nebulae, or planets, this powerful tool makes astrophotography composition effortless.
This dual cable allows the connection of up to two standard dew heaters or dew heater controllers to the coaxial power connector outputs of the ASIAIR PRO.
Note: The input has no RCA plug, but a male coaxial power connector.
Cable length: 150 mm / 150 mm Connectors: 1x 5.5*2.1 mm angled male, 2x RCA female Material: Pure copper wire (internal)
Introducing 5V EAF, this electronic focuser, like its previous version, enables precise, dynamic focus control for planetary and deep-sky imaging, while only connected with 5V USB.
Compared to its old version, the main change of 5V EAF is to remove the 12V power supply port. Now you can directly connect it to your camera, laptop or ASIAIR PRO via the USB 2.0 port & cable for both data transmission and power supply. This would not only make the cable management much easier, also effectively reduce the supply pressure.
The innovative decorative pattern on the EAF is inspired by the changes of Airy disk during focusing and the focusing curve, which makes it clear at a glance how this focuser works.
Features:
Highly integrated design
Support for ASCOM platform and various ASCOM-compatible third-party software
Support for INDI
Support for ZWO software such as ASIAIR and ASIStudio
Support for automatic focusing

The following accessories are available for the EAF:
ZWO Helical Micro Focuser allows you to adjust focus very precisely. Attached equipment does not rotate when adjusting the focus. The focuser has a micrometer scale.
The thickness of the M42M-M48F 22.5mm extender is 22.5mm. It is an important astronomical accessory for ASI2600MM Pro users who want to connect the camera to 7x36mm filter wheel to reach 55mm back focus distance while without the involvement of OAG-L.
When connecting the ASI2600 to 36mm EFW, you need to screw off the sensor tilt plate coming with the camera first, then use the screws to fix them. This can help you get the distance between the filter and the sensor much closer.
The M48 sensor tilt plate is independently developed by ZWO and specially made to match telescope with M48 thread. The thickness is 5mm. It has several screw holes on the surface so that you can easily connect it to the M68 OAG and APS-C & full frame camera like ASI2600/ASI6200/ASI2400.
