Technical Sales Description:
The ATR585C is a high-performance color CMOS camera designed for astrophotography enthusiasts seeking exceptional image quality. Equipped with the advanced Sony IMX585 sensor, it offers a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels with 2.9μm x 2.9μm pixel dimensions, providing high clarity and low-noise performance. This 1/1.2-inch optical format sensor ensures comprehensive sky coverage, capturing intricate details of celestial phenomena.
One of the standout features of the ATR585C is its sophisticated two-stage Thermoelectric Cooling (TEC) system. This mechanism enables the sensor to operate at temperatures up to 45°C below ambient, significantly reducing thermal noise. Such efficient cooling facilitates extended exposure times of up to one hour, making it ideal for deep-sky imaging.
To combat dew formation, the ATR585C incorporates advanced anti-dew technology, featuring an integrated heater at the protective window. With four adjustable heating levels, users can tailor the dew prevention to their specific environmental conditions, ensuring clear and unobstructed imaging.
Additionally, the camera’s zero amp-glow design greatly reduces internal glow and effectively suppresses external light interference, resulting in sharper, cleaner images. This design also makes image calibration much easier, saving time when processing deep-sky photos.
With a high-speed 47 FPS readout, the ATR585C excels in both deep-sky and planetary imaging, delivering high-resolution, low-noise results. Whether you are capturing nebulae, galaxies, or lunar and planetary details, this camera offers astrophotographers exceptional performance in a compact, feature-rich package.
