ZWO Wireless Smart Camera ASI585MC Air: A 3-in-1 Solution: Guiding, Imaging and ASIAir Smart Control

Therefore no more:

• Complicated setups
  
• Cable snags
  
• Port damage due to cable snags
  
• Tough axis alignment
  
• On-axis guiding with improved accuracy

The ASI585MC Air combines guiding, imaging, and smart control into one compact, lightweight camera device. Say goodbye to complex setups and enjoy a seamless, hassle-free astrophotography experience.

Imaging sensor:
The main IMX585 sensor has a 1/1.2-inch format and 8.28MP in total. The sensor size is 11.2mm in width x 6.3mm in height and the diagonal is 13.2mm. The small pixel size of 2.9µm x 2.9µm offers high resolution and a good full-well capacity of 40ke.

Guiding sensor:
The SC2210 sensor taken from the ASI220MM Mini camera features very high sensitivity. The QE peak value reaches 92% at 500nm and the read noise is as low as 0.6e. As a new generation of guide sensor, it has achieved great results in guiding, already proven by hundreds of Astrophotographers worldwide.

Effortlessly connect multiple devices: 
4x USB2.0, 2 x DC 12Volts 10Amps, 1x USB Type-C
USB 2.0 ports for your focuser, filter wheel, and mount, DC 12V 10A input/output ports for reliable power, and USB Type-C port for fast file transfers to computer - now you can focus on capturing stunning images without worrying about connectivity issues.

Shoot with confidence: ample storage and stability:
With a massive 256GB eMMC storage, the ASI585MC Air allows you to capture multiple targets with ease. Rigorously tested with over 300 benchmarks, it ensures system stability and with the USB 2.0 ports which support up to 1 TB external storage, you will have plenty of room for all your astrophotography needs.

Dive into the rich details of the celestial objects:
The full-well capacity of this camera is 40ke, making long exposure images less prone to overexposure. The good full-well capacity and high dynamic range make it possible to capture both bright and dark areas with amazing clarity and detail. Experience the wonderful details and colors of deepspace objects like never before!

The HCG mode:
The camera has a built-in HCG mode that can effectively reduce readout noise at high gain and maintain the same wide dynamic range that you would expect at low gain. When the gain is 200, the HCG mode will turn on automatically. This results in readout noise of just over 1e-, while the dynamic range can still reach almost 12 f-stops.

Note: Previously, HCG mode switched on at a gain of 252. To switch on at a gain of 200, you must update ASIAIR or ASIStudio. After updating, you will need to re-shoot calibration frames to ensure proper stacking in post-processing.

Dual-band Wi-Fi for stable signal:
Experience unparalleled connectivity with ZWO´s enhanced external dual-band antenna, supporting both 2.4G and 5G frequencies and offering stable and smooth usage within 20 meters.

Get full control of your entire rig at your fingertips:
With the ASIAIR smart app, you can easily control guiding, imaging, your mount, and electronic focuser - all from your phone. It supports multiple imaging modes, making it easy for even beginners to quickly learn and capture professional-quality images.

Guiding:
After connecting to the mount, guiding is carried out via the built-in guiding sensor and the imaging software, i.e. the ASIAIR app or ASIImg from the ASIStudio suite. An ST-4 autoguider cable to the mount is therefore mot required.

Instant post-processing and sharing:
Live stack is supported during your imaging session. You may also make adjustments to brightness, contrast and others on the final image meaning you can instantly share your stacked photos on social media platforms or with friends and family.

Practical tip: Good storage is an important preventive measure against dew and also extends the service life:

After use, put the camera straight into a Protect Case or bag and add some silica gel. During storage, the silica gel absorbs the moisture from the camera. At the same time, the penetration of moist room air is prevented. Dry storage can even partially regenerate the small desiccant tablets in cooled cameras. Your camera or accessories will therefore always be ready for you in optimum condition.

The cameras are not airtight, so if the camera remains on the telescope, it is exposed to moisture. The small amount of desiccant in the camera can protect the sensor and the inside of the protective glass from moisture for the duration of the exposure, but not for days on end. Moisture problems can be the result. A simple trick is to stretch a plastic bag around the focuser to which the camera is attached so that no air can get in. Silica gel is placed in a small cloth bag inside the plastic bag. This will also create a "dry climate zone" for the camera on the telescope. This allows you to leave the camera on the telescope for a few days for an imaging session lasting several days.

In the medium and long term, however, this is no substitute for proper storage in an airtight case with silica gel.
