Power supply sold separately
This ZWO Pro/Cooled camera must be powered from an external 12V DC power source with a minimum of 3 amps in order to run the TEC cooler and connect to your computer. The camera may not be recognized by a computer or operate properly if only the USB3.0 cable is connected to your computer. You can use ZWO’s 12V DC power supply (sold separately), the DC Out port on an ASIAir or an external battery. These are not included with the camera.
- Capable of capturing both deep sky & planetary images
- Perfect for beginner astrophotographers
- Cooled version of the popular ASI585MC
- 4K resolution (8 megapixels: 3840x2160)
- Up to 46.9 FPS in 12-bit mode
- 2.9µm pixel size
- Zero amp glow
- Power supply (required) sold separately
The Perfect Astrophotography Camera for Beginners
The ASI585MC Pro is a unicorn in the astrophotography world. With a built-in cooling fan, it has the ability to keep noise low over long exposures like its much more expensive counterparts, the ASI533MC Pro and ASI2600MC Pro. Thanks to its small sensor, it's also capable of high frame rates necessary for planetary & lunar astrophotography. Being able to do both deep sky & planetary imaging well is rare in the astrophotography world. Despite this versatility, the price makes it one of the most affordable cooled astrophotography cameras available on the market, making it a perfect choice for beginners.
ZWO ASI585MC Pro Overview
Agena Astro affiliate AstroBackyard recently shared this ASI585MC Pro review:
4K Resolution Sensor
The ASI585MC Pro uses a Sony IMX585 CMOS sensor. As one of ZWO's latest OSC planetary cameras. Featuring a large sensor format of 1/1.2" and a high resolution of 3840 x 2160 with zero amp glow! Its 2.9 µm pixels enable fast 46.9 FPS capture in 12-bit mode with very low readout noise. With ZWO’s upgraded High Conversion Gain (HCG) mode, the ASI585MC achieves an impressive 12 stops of dynamic range—reducing noise and preserving fine detail in both faint and bright areas of your images.
USB 3.0 & 256MB DDR3 Memory
The ASI585MC Pro comes equipped with three USB ports: one USB 3.0 port and two USB 2.0 ports. The USB 3.0 port can be used to connect the included USB 3.0 cable to an ASIAIR or computer for deep sky or planetary imaging. This port also allows for up to 47fps at full resolution, which is ideal for use when photographing planets, the Moon, or other solar system objects. It also features 256mb of DDR3 memory which serves as a cache to ensure stability during long exposure deep sky imaging, making sure frames aren't dropped.
The two USB 2.0 ports are designed for attaching external accessories such as an Electronic Filter Wheel (EFW), guide camera, Electronic Automatic Focuser (EAF), or other accessories. Having these ports on the camera is desirable as it ensures good cable management on top of the telescope to prevent cables snagging on the mount or other gear.
Large Full Well Depth
The ASI585MC Pro has very low readout noise and a large full well depth of 40ke-, which is nearly 3x that of the previous generation IMX485 sensor. This allows for a larger dynamic range, as bright highlights (like bright stars) will not blow out or overexpose as easily.
Camera Curve: Low read noise, high dynamic range
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 as it does at low gain. When the gain is 252, the HCG mode is automatically turned on and the dynamic range reaches a level close to 11bit. The readout noise is as low as 0.7e.
Quantum Efficiency
The peak quantum efficiency of the ASI585MC Pro is 91%. This figure means that up to 91% of the incoming light is recorded into the final image, which is a very high percentage thanks to today's CMOS sensor technology.
No Amp Glow
ASI585MC Pro exhibits zero amp glow, no matter how long the exposure and how high the gain value. Since it is implemented directly at the hardware level, it does not require software control.
