ATR585C(ATR3CMOS08300KPA) User Manual 1 Description and Features The ATR585C(ATR3CMOS08300KPA) camera is designed specifically for astrophotography. It is mainly used for deep sky photo shooting, since the camera has cooled CMOS sensor, ultra-low readout noise and zero amp-glow. It can be also used for planetary photo shooting.
2.3 12bit ADC and ROI ATR585C has built in 12bit ADC. It also has 12bit output mode for hardware binning and smaller resolution. The camera also supports hardware ROI, and the smaller the ROI size is, the higher the frame rate is.
2.8 Zero Amp-Glow ATR585C has been carefully designed and is able to achieve zero amp-glow photo shooting. Figure and Figure show the different cameras at 20C and 5-minute exposure time with and without amp-glow. By comparison, the image captured by ATR585C shows zero amp-glow.
