The modern Sony IMX585 sensor is particularly impressive due to its high resolution (2.9 µm pixels), high frame rate and the complete absence of any amp glow. This makes this camera very interesting not only for planets, the sun and the moon, but also for long exposures (deep-sky photography). The sensor is large enough for many deep-sky objects, yet you can usually manage without a corrector. The ASI585MP Pro is an ideal entry-level camera but also an exciting second camera for dedicated astrophotographers. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe camera is very well suited for:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLunar and planetary photography with high detail resolution\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolar photography (with suitable filter) with high detail resolution\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong exposures of nebulae and galaxies\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInfrared photography to reduce the effects of seeing, resulting in a sharper luminance channel\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEAA (electronically assisted astronomy) for planets, moon and sun.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis camera is a great alternative to a DSLR and mirrorless camera for deep-sky photography. Even the raw images are of high quality, as the sensor no longer shows any amplifier glow and the images are very smooth and low in noise. Added to this is the powerful Peltier cooling up to 35°C below ambient temperature, which means that low-noise images can be taken even at the height of summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMoon and planetary photography:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThanks to the fine 2.9µm pixels, you can achieve a very high resolution from f\/10, which makes the use of Barlow and converter systems superfluous.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eEAA (electronically assisted astronomy):\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe high resolution, combined with a high frame rate of 47 fps at full resolution (RAW8 format), allows real-time observation not only of planets, but also of the moon and sun due to the relatively large sensor. This means you can observe together in a group - without having to wait until everyone has had a turn!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAnti-reflective clear glass filter protects the sensor from dust:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe clear glass filter prevents dust from penetrating the sensor. It also lets UV and infrared light through so that you can also use the camera for infrared photography. With the right choice of contrast filters, fog filters, IR pass filters or UV\/IR blocking filters, you have full control over which light falls on the sensor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePeltier cooling - reduces the sensor temperature:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe sensor heats up during shooting. Thanks to the controlled Peltier cooling, you can keep the sensor well cooled even at high outside temperatures. At an ambient temperature of 20°C you can cool the sensor down to -15 °C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eVery high sensitivity for short exposure times:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne advantage of the back-illuminated CMOS sensor is the reduced readout noise and improved sensitivity. In particular, Sony uses STARVIS-2 technology with the IMX585 sensor, which ensures excellent visibility in low light. You can achieve a very high light yield in astrophotography and obtain high image quality not only in visible light but also in the near infrared range (to reduce seeing). In addition, the low readout noise and the high full-well capacity ensure a larger dynamic range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn combination with the large field of view offered by the large sensor format, the ASI585MC is not only ideal for solar, lunar and planetary imaging, but can also be used as a live streaming camera or as an all-sky camera for observing or monitoring weather conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe low noise and anti-amp glow circuit make this Peltier-cooled camera interesting for capturing deep-sky objects such as faint nebulae, star clusters and galaxies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe HCG mode:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe camera has a built-in HCG mode that can effectively reduce readout noise at high gain while maintaining the same wide dynamic range you would expect at low gain. When the gain is 252, the HCG mode turns on automatically. As a result, the readout noise is only 0.7e-, while the dynamic range can still reach almost 12 f-stops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpec:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSensor: Sony 1\/1.2 inch CMOS IMX585AAQJ1-C (color)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResolution: 3840 x 2160 pixels, 8.28 megapixels\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePixel size: 2.9 µm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSensor size: 11.13mm x 6.26mm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSensor diagonal: m12.84mm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExposure time:m from 32 µs - 2000 s\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecording speed: up to 46.9 fps at 4K UHD resolution\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eROI: Supported\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuantum efficiency: 91 %\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eADC: 12 bit\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull well: 40 ke-\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAntiampglow circuit: Yes\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReadout noise: 0.7 e-\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDistance from T2 female thread to sensor: 17.5mm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDistance from T2 male thread: 6.5mm (the male thread does not count)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShutter type: Rolling shutter\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtection window: AR dust protection window (UV and IR light are transmitted)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnection: USB3.0\/USB2.0\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBit resolution:    12 bit output (12 bit ADC)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTelescope connection: 2\" \/ 1.25\" \/ M42x0.75\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 78mm diameter and 86mm length\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 410 grams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhats included:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eASI camera cooled, with 11mm T2 ring\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eCamera bag\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eUSB3.0 cable, 2m\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eQuick guide (English)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eT2 extension (21mm long)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eM48 to T2 adapter (16.5mm long)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eAdapter from T2 to 1.25\" receptacle with filter thread\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eCover cap 1.25\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eM42-M48 adapter (without optical path)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e2x USB 2.0 cable, 0.5m\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eFlat adapter T2 to 1.25\" thread (without optical path)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e4x spacer ring\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDownload the latest Camera Driver from ZWO \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/astronomy-imaging-camera.com\/software-drivers\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ZWO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49740503023951,"sku":"ASI585MC-P","price":929.22,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0596\/1924\/6275\/files\/ZWO-ASI-585MC-PRO_01c770ee-4ba8-4712-a6e0-21e4f71ef165.jpg?v=1727254252","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonastronomy.ie\/en-pt\/products\/zwo-asi-585mc-pro-colour","provider":"Horizon Astronomy • Telescope Center","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
