Player One Xena 585M mono camera and autoguider with Sony IMX585 Sensor

The Xena 585M based on Sony STARVIS2 technology, it is back-illuminated pixel technology used in CMOS sensors.

Highlights

The planetary camera series uses a USB3.0 data port(5Gbps), which is over 10 times faster than USB2.0.

The camera can be used for imaging as well as guiding.

The body diameter is 1.25?. The camera fits into the 1.25? adapter of he guiding scope.

Cutting-edge Design
The guiding cameras developed by Player One Astronomy uses a rigid hexagon mdesign for the main body.

HDR mode
The HDR (High Dynamic Range) mode is a feature of IMX585 cameras. It provides a broader dynamic range and lower readout noise. This helps especially users who use the camera for DSO imaging.

DPS technology
The planetary cameras from Player One Astronomy are equipped with the DPS (Dead Pixel Suppression) technology. The DPS analyses dark frames to find dead pixels and records the map in camera memory. During imaging, each frame, each frame is filtered to remove dead pixels.

Overvoltage and overcurrent protection mechanism
The safety of your camera and other equipment is maintained through overvoltage and overcurrent protection mechanisms.

Data Port
When the camera is connected to the USB 3.0 interface and the full-resolution preview is used, it can reach 107 FPS in RAW8 mode (10bit ADC). When recording images, since the actual writing speed will be affected by the writing speed of the hard disk itself, when the hard disk writing speed is slow, the recording may not reach the theoretical speed. It is recommended to use a high-quality solid state drive to record data to give full play to the performance of the camera.
Use the ST4 guide cable to connect the camera to the corresponding port of your mount to do guiding.

Readout Noise
The readout noise valueas were obtained from actual tests.You can use Sharpcap 4 for testing. SC4 has a function called Sensor Analysis, providing a very simple way to test readout noise.
