    Product Description New Cutting-edge Design Polygon like regular hexagon is very Player One, the DSO cooled cameras we want to make it more beautiful and practical. After a lot of trying, we fix the final style, which uses a scientific and technological octagon to construct the main body line and 4 sides are cambered surface, supplemented by round chamfers to achieve both rigidity and flexibility.

    Artemis Camera Manual Rear Adjustment 4 Point Sensor Tilt Plate When taking deepsky objects, using sensor tilt plate can get a much smaller field curvature of the telescope. We adopt rear Adjustment and 4point tilt plate, it has a lot advantages in usage.
  • Page 7: Deep Cooling

    Artemis Camera Manual Deep Cooling Player One cooled camera series use 2 Stage TEC Cooling unit, after improved the structure design to reject the heat back to camera chamber, Camera Delta-T can reach over 40℃. 512MB DDR3 Cache As an improvement, DDR3 cache in cooled cameras are increased to 512MB. It helps stabilize and secure data transmission, it effectively avoids frame dropping and greatly reduces readout noise.
  • Page 8: Starvis Technology

    Artemis-M Pro (IMX492) cooled camera based on Sony STARVIS technology, it is back-illuminated pixel technology used in CMOS image sensors. 4/3″ Format Artemis-M Pro cooled camera has 4/3″ format (19.2mm*13mm), this size is very popular for DSO imaging. Pixel BIN mode IMX492 sensor has native 47 Mega pixels, no need to unlock anything and don’t...

    Artemis Camera Manual 12bit depth: IMX492 has 12bit on-chip ADC. When use BIN1 mode, IMX492 has 47Mega pixels, pixel size is 2.315um, and bit depth is 12bit (4096 levels). 14bit depth: When use hardware BIN2 mode, IMX492 will has 11.7Mega pixels, pixel size is 4.63um, and bit depth extend to 14bit (16384 levels) BIN1 and BIN2 also will cause the full well, FPS and readout noise be changed.
  • Page 10: Standard Cable Usage

    Artemis Camera Manual Standard Cable Usage Cooling System and Anti-Dew Heater In ASCOM window, we provide 3 adjustable parameters: Target temperature, Fan Speed and Anti-Dew power. Standard Delta-T: 40℃ (± 2℃), when ambient temp 30℃, fan speed 100%, dew heater 10%.
  • Page 11: Overvoltage And Overcurrent Protection Mechanism

    Dew problem is the biggest enemy in astro imaging, the camera integrated anti-dew heater in front of the camera. The heat power is adjustable. Overvoltage and overcurrent protection mechanism Player One cameras produced by us ensures the safety of your camera and other equipment through overvoltage and overcurrent protection mechanisms.
  • Page 12: Performance

    Artemis Camera Manual Performance Hardware BIN2 mode: At gain=0, the camera has 13 stops dynamic range and 65.8Ke full well capacity, readout noise is 7.8e. HCG open at gain=120, the camera has 12.97 stops dynamic range and 14.5Ke full well, readout noise drops to only 1.8e.
  • Page 13: Bin1 Mode

    Artemis Camera Manual BIN1 mode in BIN1 mode, Artemis-M PRO start with Gain 110. (If use set gain value < 110, the camera will use gain 110 instand of it)
  • Page 14: Frame Rate

    If you are interested in readout noise testing, you may try it yourself, which is very simple. Dark Frame Artemis-M PRO camera has amp-glow. In BIN2 mode or using higher gain the amp-glow will be more obvious. Please notice this before you buy the camera.

    Artemis Camera Manual Dark frame 2: BIN2 mode, Gain=110, offset=5, exposure=300s, Temp=-10℃: Download Dark frame2 STF auto-Stretch in Pixinsight 1.86 Dark Current The dark current is only 0.0004 e/s/pix at -20℃, and 0.0021e/s/pix at 0℃. In entire curve, dark current is almost like a straight a line, which can prove that Artemis camera has very good quality.
