ZWO ASI585MC Color USB3.0 Astro Camera with passive Air-Cooling - Sensor D=12.84 mm
This camera is equipped with a 1/1.2" sensor with 3840*2160 pixels (4K UHD). The modern Sony IMX585 sensor convinces especially by the high resolution (2.9 µm pixels), the high frame rate and by the complete absence of the annoying amplifier glow. This makes this camera very interesting not only for planets, sun and moon, but also for long exposures (deep sky photography). The sensor is large enough for many deep-sky objects, nevertheless one gets along mostly without corrector. The camera is very well suited for:
lunar and planetary photography with high detail resolution.
solar photography (with suitable filter) with high detail resolution
long time exposures of nebulae and galaxies without power consuming cooling
infrared photography to reduce the influence of seeing, thus sharper luminance channel
autoguiding camera (autoguiding port is available)
EAA (electronically assisted astronomy) on planets, moon and sun


This camera is an alternative to DSLR and mirrorless system cameras for deep sky photography
Even the raw images are high quality, as the sensor shows no more amplifier glow and the images are very smooth.

Lunar and planetary photography
Due to the fine 2.9 µm pixels, you achieve a very high resolution already from f/10, which makes the use of Barlow and converter systems unnecessary.

EAA (electronically assisted astronomy)
The high resolution, combined with a high frame rate of 47 fps at full resolution (RAW8 format), allows real-time observation not only of planets, but also of the Moon and Sun because of the relatively large sensor. Just observe together in a group - without long waiting for everyone´s turn!

Use as autoguider:
The ASI585MC is a lightweight with only 126 grams. It puts hardly any strain on the focuser. Of course, the camera offers the ST-4 autoguiding interface. A 2 metres long autoguiding cable is also included.

AR-coated clear glass filter protects the sensor from dust
The clear glass filter prevents dust from getting to the sensor. It also lets UV and infrared through, so you can also do infrared photography with the camera. You have full control over what light hits the sensor with the right choice of contrast filters, nebula filters, IR pass filters, or UV/IR blocking filters.

Air cooling - reduces sensor temperature
The sensor heats up during the exposures. The PCS dissipates heat from the sensor via a heat conducting pad. The sensor temperature is thus reduced by up to 15 degrees Celsius compared to cameras without PCS.

Very high sensitivity for short exposure times
One advantage of the back-illuminated CMOS sensor is the lower readout noise and improved sensitivity. In particular, Sony uses STARVIS?-2 technology in the IMX585 sensor, which provides excellent low-light visibility. You can achieve a very high light output in astro imaging and realize high image quality not only in visible light, but also in the near infrared range (to reduce seeing). In addition, the low readout noise and the high full-well capacity ensure a higher dynamic range.

Combined with the wide field of view offered by the large sensor format, the ASI585MC is not only ideal for solar, lunar and planetary imaging, but can also be used as a live streaming camera or as an all-sky camera for observing or monitoring weather conditions, and of course for imaging faint nebulae, star clusters and galaxies.

The low noise and anti-ampglow circuitry make this not! Peltier-cooled camera interesting for capturing deep-sky objects such as faint nebulae, star clusters and galaxies.

The HCG mode:
The camera has a built-in HCG mode that can effectively reduce readout noise at high gain and maintain the same wide dynamic range that you would expect at low gain. When the gain is 252, the HCG mode will turn on automatically. This results in readout noise as low as 2.5 e- while the dynamic range can still reach nearly 12 f-stops.

Question:
How to mount the camera on a tripod or dovetail bar?

Answer from Teleskop-Service:
In the center of the back of the body, there is a female 1.25" photo thread. This allows you to mount the camera on a tripod or dovetail bar (possibly via an L-bracket for binoculars):

"Aufgrund der Wetterlage konnte ich die Kamera bisher noch nicht ausprobieren. Sie wird zukünftig mit einem C8 SC oder AR102 Scientific Explorer verwendet. Die Kamera soll gegenüber der ASI 178 einen größeren Bildausschnitt aufnehmen. Bei der Kamera ist zu beachten, dass diese einen 17,5mm Backfocus hat. Bisher habe ich mit dieser Marke nur gute Erfahrungen gemacht. Der Preis stimmt hierbei auch."

"Als Anfänger in der Astrophotographie gelang es mir nach einigen Versuchen und mit Hilfe der für die Kamera verfügbaren Software sowie der für Privatanwender kostenlos nutzbaren Anwendung Autostakkert 3 einige imposante Aufnahmen des Mondes anzufertigen. Wenn das Wetter dann wieder mitspielt, geht es mit Spannung dann weiter hinaus :)"

"Ich hatte noch nicht viele Gelegenheiten, die Astrokamera zu verwenden aber erste Versuche an den Planeten Saturn und Jupiter waren sehr vielversprechend und ich freue mich schon auf das nächste perfekte Seeing."
