ZWO ASI585MC Planetary Camera
The ZWO ASI533MC is a cutting-edge camera specifically designed for astrophotography enthusiasts. It incorporates Sony's state-of-the-art IMX533 CMOS sensor, offering high sensitivity and low noise imaging, with back-illuminated technology that significantly enhances its performance in low-light conditions. This camera is well-suited for capturing the majesty of the night sky, from planets to galaxies, with exceptional detail and clarity.
Key Features:
Sensor Type: Sony IMX533 CMOS, renowned for its stellar performance in astrophotography.
Sensor Size: A 1-inch square sensor format with a resolution of 3008 x 3008 pixels, offering a broad field of view without compromising on detail.
Pixel Size: The 3.76μm pixel size strikes an optimal balance between resolution and sensitivity.
Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC): With 14-bit ADC, it provides a wide dynamic range, capturing the faintest nuances of cosmic light.
Read Noise: Exceptionally low read noise of 1.0e, ensuring cleaner image data and smoother gradients.
Full Well Capacity: A substantial full well capacity of 50,000e, allowing for a wide range of brightness without saturation.
Quantum Efficiency (QE): High QE of 80% for color sensors and up to 91% for monochrome, ensuring efficient photon collection for brighter images.
Frame Rate: Capable of shooting up to 20 frames per second, which is ideal for stacking multiple exposures to increase image quality.
Advanced Imaging Capabilities:
STARVIS Technology: The ASI533MC utilizes Sony's STARVIS technology, optimized for impressive performance in low-light conditions, which is crucial for night sky observations.
Protective Window: The sensor is safeguarded by a 2mm-thick AR-coated protective window that not only prevents dust and other particles from affecting the sensor but also maximizes light transmission.
Design and Construction:
Cooling System: The camera employs a passive cooling system, making it robust and low-maintenance.
Protect Window: Includes an anti-reflective coated window for maximum light gathering without spectral interference.
Body: Features a compact and durable design with a signature red metallic finish that's characteristic of ZWO products.
Connectivity and Integration:
USB 3.0 Interface: For fast and efficient data transfer, a necessary feature for high-resolution astrophotography.
Autoguider Port: The inclusion of an ST4 autoguider port allows for precise tracking control during long-exposure imaging sessions.
