The ASI585MC Pro utilizes a high-quality sensor and offers a resolution of 3840x2160 pixels. With its impressive megapixel count and compact sensor size, it excels at capturing fine details across various subjects. Its outstanding efficiency in converting light into signal, evident in its peak Quantum Efficiency (QE) of 91%, ensures excellent image quality with minimal noise. Additionally, its low readout noise of 0.9e further enhances image clarity. Moreover, its ample full well capacity of 47Ke enables rich color rendition and detailed image capture.
Electronics
The ASI585MC Pro has been meticulously designed with advanced features to enhance your astrophotography experience. Its Sony sensor incorporates a backlit design, positioning wires and transistors behind the sensor rather than in front, a departure from the conventional setup found in other CMOS cameras. This arrangement minimizes obstructions, enabling more photons to reach the sensor and be efficiently converted into signal, resulting in higher Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) values and superior image quality.
Furthermore, the integrated Thermo-Electric Cooling (TEC) system cools the camera to temperatures as low as 35 degrees below ambient, effectively reducing heat noise and yielding sharper, cleaner images. To expedite image transfer and preserve captured frames, the ASI585MC Pro is equipped with an internal 512MB DDR3 memory cache. This addition ensures swift and secure image transfer rates, even when operating at the maximum frame rate of 47FPS.
Power Connections
To ensure your camera is powered throughout your night of astrophotography, you'll need a DC 12V power adapter. We recommend the ZWO 5 Amp AC Adapter for reliable performance.
On the back of the ASI585MC Pro, you'll find three USB ports in total. The USB 3.0 port boasts a rated 5Gb bandwidth, ideal for swift and dependable image transmission to your computer. Additionally, two USB 2.0 ports are available for connecting extra accessories such as an electronic focuser or guide camera.
For your convenience, the ASI585MC Pro comes standard with one USB 3.0 cord and two USB 2.0 cables, preparing you for your next astrophotography session.
