585C

ToupTek IMX585C camera adapts SONY IMX585 sensor is a state-of-the-art camera for imaging both, planetary and deep-sky objects. It is designed with an integrated heat dissipation structure and an efficient cooling module. This allows the image sensor to operate at a temperature that is 45 degrees lower than the ambient temperature.

Also it has zero amp glow, very small pixel size, and a high dynamic range (HDR). So, it is suitable as an entry-level camera for deep space photography, very cost-effective.

STARVIS 2

STARVIS refers to the backlight image sensor technology developed by Sony to improve low light characteristics and near-infrared sensitivity. STARVIS 2 has improved dynamic range and near-infrared sensitivity compared to STARVIS1.Benefiting from it, ToupTek IMX585MC show better performance.

M101

ToupTek IMX585MC is a 1/1.2-inch square format, 8.3-megapixel CMOS image sensor with a pixel size of 2.9um, which offers high clarity and low-noise performance.

ToupTek IMX585MC is designed with an integrated heat dissipation structure and an efficient cooling module. This allows the image sensor to operate at a temperature that is 45 degrees lower than the ambient temperature. It also supports 1 hour exposure time, ensuring the capture of every faint details.

It can even maintain stable operation at -5° to -10° all night in summer.

The USB 3.0 interface offers a 5Gbps bandwidth. 512MB DDR3 buffer guarantees stable data transmission, preventing frame loss. Together, they make sure that camera can work with PC that has low hardware configuration.

Zero Amp Glow

ToupTek IMX585MC has been carefully designed and is able to achieve zero amp-glow photo shooting. These two pictures show the different cameras at 20C and 5-minute exposure time with and without amp-glow. By comparison, the right image captured by ToupTek IMX585MC shows zero amp-glow.

 

Four level Heating Adjustment

ToupTek IMX585MC has an anti-dew heater positioned at protection window, with 4 adjustable levels, allowing users to find the most suitable heating power for their needs.

 

Camera Performance Analysis

Low read noise, High dynamic range

Read noise is the most important reference to measure the performance of a camera. Lower read noise usually means better SNR and better quality of image.

Camera setting used for performance analysis is shown below:

  • Full resolution

  • RAW 12-bit mode

  • Temperature: -10°C

  • LCG

Figure 4 shows the curves of the camera analysis data in Table 3.
