The imaging area is 1\/2.8”, with 2.9um pixel size, 2.1MP resolution (1944*1096) and diagonal of 6.5mm.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eiCAM462C camera has a very high sensitivity. It is an ideal camera for planetary imaging. The camera has a very low readout noise. The testing results indicated that the readout noise is as low as 0.73e at a gain of 350 and around 0.7e at a gain of 400. The camera has a unique DPS (Dead Pixel Suppression) technology to eliminate the any abnormal\/dead pixel by analyzing camera dark frames. The camera has a unique HCG mode, which will automatically turn on when the camera gain setting is ≥ 80. The HCG mode can greatly reduce the readout noise and retain the same high dynamic range as it at low gain. Due to its unique QE response, the sensitivity reaches the peak at 800-850nm. An IR850 or CH4 filter can be used with the camera for infrared imaging.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen the camera is connected to the USB3.0 interface and full-resolution preview is used, it can reach 136 fps in RAW8 mode (10bit ADC). During image recording, the actual recording speed is affected by the hard drive writing speed. It is recommended to use a high-quality solid state drive to record data to realize the full benefit of the USB3.0 data speed. The ST-4 guiding port allows one to connect the camera to a mount GUIDE port for ST-4 autoguiding.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" class=\"colors_descriptionbox\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\" width=\"1\" align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.ioptron.com\/v\/vspfiles\/templates\/backup1\/images\/DBox_Border_Left_Top.gif\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"100%\" valign=\"top\" background=\"https:\/\/www.ioptron.com\/v\/vspfiles\/templates\/backup1\/images\/DBox_Border_Top.gif\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.ioptron.com\/v\/vspfiles\/templates\/backup1\/images\/clear1x1.gif\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\" width=\"1\" align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.ioptron.com\/v\/vspfiles\/templates\/backup1\/images\/DBox_Border_Right_Top.gif\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"1\" background=\"https:\/\/www.ioptron.com\/v\/vspfiles\/templates\/backup1\/images\/DBox_Border_Left.gif\" valign=\"middle\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.ioptron.com\/v\/vspfiles\/templates\/backup1\/images\/clear1x1.gif\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"100%\" valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" border=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"ProductDetail_TechSpecs_div\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"199\" align=\"right\"\u003eImage Sensor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"390\" align=\"center\"\u003eSony IMX462 CMOS (color)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd align=\"right\"\u003eSensor Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd align=\"center\"\u003e1\/2.8” (5.6X3.2mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd align=\"right\"\u003eMax.

The ASI1600MM-COOL monochrome astronomy camera is a new milestone for deep-sky imagers and comes at a fraction of the cost of far more expensive CCD cameras.

There's also a large built-in heat sink which accounts for nearly 2\/3 of the camera's size.

The sensor has an estimated peak QE of 85%.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe performance and sensor size of this camera, and small pixel size, makes it particularly useful for lunar and planetary imaging. It’s also a great camera for “lucky imaging” of deep-sky objects by taking multiple photos in short exposure times and stacking them to improve signal-to-noise ratio. The ASI485MC can also be an ideal camera for electronically-assisted astronomy (EAA), all-sky imaging, or live streaming at 4K resolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLow Read Noise and High Dynamic Range\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eASI485MC has a built-in high-conversion gain (HCG mode) which effectively reduces the readout noise at high gain and keeps the same wide dynamic range as at low gain. When the gain is 80 or above, the HCG mode will automatically turn on to reduce read noise while still providing a dynamic range of close to 11 stops.

It provides 5Gb\/s bandwidth to let the camera run at 39fps (10bit, high speed mode) or 27.5fps (12bit, normal mode) at full 8.29 megapixel resolution. The camera also includes a port for autoguiding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSensor: 1\/1.2″ CMOS Sony-IMX485\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBayer Pattern: R Gr Gb B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQE peak85%@530nm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack focus length: 17.5mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMax fps: 39fps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull well: 13ke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShutter: Rolling shutter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResolution: 8.29 megapixel (3840 x 2160)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePixel Size: 2.9µm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eData Format: RAW8、RAW16、RGB24、Mono8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExposure Range: 32μs~2000s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterface: USB3.0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtect window: AR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eADC: 12bit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimension: φ62mm x 41.05mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 0.133KG\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorking Temperature: -5℃~50℃\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStorage Temperature: -10℃~60℃\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorking Relative Humidity: 0-80%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupported OS: WIN7\/8\/10 32\u0026amp;64、Linux、Mac\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"ZWO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48468416495875,"sku":"U2603-SZ-ASI485MC","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1979\/5379\/files\/8c425a3f-557e-4e5b-b62e-29b2ef089c53.jpg?v=1782321791"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1979\/5379\/collections\/Used_Cameras.jpg?v=1782590901","url":"https:\/\/milehighastro.com\/collections\/used-cameras.oembed","provider":"Mile High Astronomy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
