ZWO ASI585MM USB3.0 Mono Astronomy Camera - ASI585MM

ZWO ASI585MM CMOS Monochrome Planetary Camera

One of the largest planetary cameras ZWO offers, the ASI585MM Mono Planetary Camera uses the IMX585 back-illuminated CMOS image sensor with Sony STARVIS 2 technology for zero amp glow, lower dark current noise, and a large full well capacity.  This camera is suitable for planetary, solar & lunar imaging, or for use as an all-sky or live camera to observe weather conditions.

The Sony IMX585 has 3840 x 2160 resolution and a pixel size of 2.9um. The IMX585has a diagonal size of 1-1/2", with approximately 8.29M effective pixels. This sensor has read noise as low as 0.7e, and a full well capacity of 38.7ke.  The compact camera body is equipped with a USB3.0 transmission interface, built in 256M DDR3 memory,  as well as an ST4 Port so you can attach an auto guider to your set-up.

The ASI585MM has a large full well depth of 38.7ke.  The camera also has very low readout noise (as low as 1.5e), thanks to the back-illuminated sensor structure and advanced pixel technology.  The camera performs very well, even in low light conditions.

The camera has a built-in HCG mode which can effectively reduce readout noise at high gain and allow the camera to maintain the same high dynamic range it does at low gain.  When gain is 252, the HCG model automatically turns on and dynamic range reaches a level close to 12bit.
