The ToupTek ATR585C brings capable cooled color imaging to astrophotographers who want both ease of use and room to grow. Built around Sony's IMX585 color CMOS sensor with STARVIS 2 technology, it combines 8.3MP resolution, 2.9μm pixels, and a compact 1/1.2-inch sensor format to capture detailed images of nebulae, galaxies, star clusters, and other celestial objects. Its one-shot color design simplifies image acquisition by capturing color data without requiring a separate LRGB filter set or electronic filter wheel. Meanwhile, two-stage TEC cooling helps reduce dark current during long exposures, and zero amp-glow technology helps maintain a clean image background. A 512MB DDR3 buffer supports stable data transmission, while 16-bit HDR mode offers additional flexibility when imaging targets with contrasting bright and faint structures. Whether you're upgrading from a DSLR or mirrorless camera, building your first dedicated cooled imaging setup, or refining an established deep-sky workflow, the ATR585C offers an accessible and versatile platform for continued exploration.
With 3856 × 2180 resolution, 2.9μm square pixels, and a 1/1.2-inch sensor, the ATR585C captures fine image details while maintaining a compact imaging format. Its sensor size offers a practical balance between image coverage, system compatibility, and cost, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of deep-sky astrophotography setups.
With peak quantum efficiency exceeding 91%, the IMX585 sensor converts a high proportion of incoming photons into measurable signals at its most responsive wavelengths. This helps the ATR585C capture faint astronomical details, including subtle nebular structures and dim stars, while its low read noise helps preserve weak signals during long exposures.
Low read noise and cooled operation support long-exposure imaging of nebulae and galaxies, while high-speed capture enables planetary video recording for frame stacking and sharper lunar and planetary details.
If you've been photographing the night sky with a DSLR, mirrorless camera, or planetary camera and want to take the next step, the ATR585C offers a practical entry into dedicated cooled deep-sky imaging. Its one-shot color workflow keeps setup and capture straightforward, while active cooling and low read noise support longer exposures of nebulae and galaxies.
For astrophotographers working from suburban locations, the ATR585C provides a convenient platform for capturing emission nebulae, galaxies, and star clusters. Pair it with suitable broadband or dual-band filters to adapt your imaging workflow to local sky conditions. Its cooling system helps control dark current during long exposures, while HDR mode provides another option for imaging targets with a wide range of brightness.
If you prefer a lightweight imaging train with fewer accessories, the ATR585C is an appealing option. Because it captures color in a single imaging sequence, you can avoid the added complexity of a monochrome camera and filter wheel. This makes it easier to assemble a compact rig for backyard imaging, travel, or nights when you want to spend less time managing equipment.
High-bandwidth data transmission is secured by an onboard DDR3 buffer, preventing frame dropping, minimizing USB bus traffic bottlenecks, and ensuring ultra-stable image delivery even during fast frame rates or live rendering.
The ATR series features a specialized zero amp-glow circuit design that maintains a clean, perfectly uniform sensor background across multi-minute long exposures, protecting the faintest details of delicate nebulae.
The ATR series optical window features an integrated smart heating system that actively measures ambient temperature and humidity. It automatically applies precise heat to prevent condensation, keeping your optical path crystal clear without introducing disruptive thermal air currents.
Equipped with an integrated heat dissipation structure and a high-efficiency dual-stage Thermoelectric Cooling (TEC) module with a controllable fan. It lowers the sensor temperature to 45°C below ambient, consistently maintaining a stable -5°C to -10°C even in peak summer. This allows for clean, long-exposure tracking up to 1 hour without thermal noise accumulation.
The 16-bit HDR mode helps capture a wider range of brightness levels, preserving more detail in both bright and faint regions of your deep-sky images. From the bright cores of galaxies to faint nebula structures, it gives you greater flexibility to bring out subtle details during image processing.
Which Series Do You Need
The ATR series features versatile sensors ranging from 1/1.2” up to APS-C (e.g., ATR585, ATR2600) to offer a balanced mix of performance and flexibility, whereas the flagship SkyEye Plus series incorporates APC-S (e.g., SkyEye26AM/AC Plus) and full-frame sensors (e.g., SkyEye62AM/AC Plus) to maximize light-gathering area and deliver expansive, uncropped fields of view.
Choose the acquisition workflow that matches your imaging goals
One-shot Color (OSC) cameras streamline your workflow by capturing full-color images without a filter wheel, offering a fast and travel-friendly setup that is perfect for astrophotography beginners, mobile imagers, or anyone seeking high-quality results with minimal post-processing.
Monochrome (Mono) cameras, however, deliver superior photon efficiency and pixel-level sharpness by eliminating the light loss and resolution interpolation of a Bayer matrix. Mono imaging is tailored for dedicated deep-sky astrophotographers who demand maximum sensitivity, ultimate narrowband performance (Hα, OIII, SII), and full control over composite LRGB rendering under any sky condition.
Yes. The ATR series cameras connect with accessories through USB data connection and stable external power, allowing users to build a complete deep-sky imaging workflow with a telescope, mount, guide camera, computer or controller, and power supply.
Yes. All ToupTek Astro DSO cooled cameras require a regulated 12V 3A DC power supply for imaging. Please use the included factory power adapter or a high-quality lithium-ion battery with a stable 11V–14V output.
Yes. The ATR series features robust, industry-standard ASCOM and INDI drivers. It integrates seamlessly with all major open-source and commercial astronomy suites.
Achieving the industry-standard 55mm backfocus is precise and seamless. The optical train is configured via a modular three-stage connection sequence: a 17.5mm front adapter or tilter, a 20mm filter drawer or extension tube, and a 17.5mm Off-Axis Guider (OAG). This combination yields a perfect 55mm stack distance that connects natively to M48, M54, and M68 telescope interfaces, with simple adapter options available for M42 threads and 2-inch ports.
The ATR series utilizes a multi-layer defense system. The sensor chamber is industrially sealed with dry air to prevent internal frost. Simultaneously, a built-in electronic heating strip warms the protective window to prevent external dew under humid summer nights.
