ZWO ASI585MM Pro Mono Camera Deep Space Cooled Astronomical Camera 4K High Resolution Photography

Description:
- ASI585MM Pro is a new ZWO deep sky camera based on the 4k SONY CMOS sensor with a 1/1.2″ format and 2.9μm pixels. It has a super high sensitivity and a large resolution of 3840x2160 (8.29MP in total). It also features high transmission speeds - In high-speed mode, the fast frame rate can reach 47fps with low read noise at full resolution! It also features a high SNR and high sensitivity, especially in near-infrared wavelength. Being an entry-level DSO camera, it offers great advantages of high cost-effectiveness.

- Note: External power supplies are needed for all ASI-cooled cameras. We recommend you use a 12V@3A~5A DC adapter (D5.5x2.1mm, center pole positive) or a lithium battery (not included) with 11-14V to power the camera. Be aware that using a power supply out of this voltage range will probably lead to irreparable damage to the camera.

- The STARVIS 2 technology brings ASI585 Series more advanced imaging performance compared to other cooled cameras. Its high frame rate makes it not only suitable for DSO photography but also solar/lunar/planetary photography.

Large Full Well Capacity:
- The back-illuminated structure improves the camera’s full well capacity. Even with unbinned 2.9μm pixels, ASI585 Series has a full well capacity of 40ke-, nearly 3 times that of the last-generation sensor IMX485. A larger full well capacity gets the camera higher efficiency in collecting light, can effectively restrain the highlight area from being overexposed, and also can improve the signal-to-noise ratio.

Zero Amp Glow:
- ASI585 Series exhibits extremely clean dark frames with zero amp glow! No matter how long the exposure and how high the gain value is, you can easily get clean and smooth astro images!
- Note: This feature is implemented directly at the hardware level, it does not require software control.

512MB DDR3:
- ASI585 Series uses a USB 3.0 interface, along with the built-in 512MB DDR3 cache, ensuring high-speed, smooth, and stable data transmission.

USB 3.0 Port & USB 2.0 HUB:
- USB 3.0 Port: Provides 5Gb bandwidth to allow ASI585 to run at 47fps at 8.29MP full resolution (10bit, high-speed mode).
- USB 2.0 HUB: Can be used to connect various kinds of USB devices such as EFW, guide camera, and EAF.

Two-stage TEC Cooling:
- Thanks to the two-stage TEC cooling, ASI585 Series can lower the CMOS sensor temperature to more than 35 degrees Celsius below ambient temperature, which can greatly reduce dark current generation and sensor noise even during extended exposure times.
- The Delta T 35℃ is tested at 30℃ ambient temperature. It might get down when the cooling system is working for a long time. Also, as the ambient temperature falls, the Delta T would decrease.
- Below is the dark current curve of ASI585 Series at the temperature from -20℃ to 30℃.

Camera Performance:
- Low read noise, High dynamic range.
- The camera has a built-in HCG mode, which can effectively reduce read noise at high gain and allow the camera to maintain the same high dynamic range as it does at low gain.
- When the gain reaches 252, the HCG mode will be automatically turned on and the dynamic range reaches a level close to 11bit. The read noise in this case can be as low as 0.7e.

QE (Quantum efficiency): Based on our testing results, the QE peak value of ASI585 is 91%.
