Page 3: Product Introduction
New DSO Camera with High Sensitivity ASI585MC Pro is a new ZWO deep sky camera based on the 4k SONY CMOS sensor with a 1/1.2" format and 2.9μm pixels. It has a super high sensitivity and large resolution of 3840*2160 (8.29MP in total). It also features high transmission speeds - In high speed mode, the fast frame rate can reach 47fps at full resolution! Being an entry-level DSO camera, it offers great advantages of high cost-effectiveness. - Page 4 The back-illuminated structure improves the camera's full well capacity. Even with unbinned 2.9μm pixels, ASI585MC Pro has a full well capacity of 47ke-, nearly 4 times of that of the last-generation sensor IMX485. A larger full well capacity gets the camera higher efficiency in collecting light, and can effectively restrain the...
