ZWO ASI585MC Color

The ZWO ASI585MC Color is a powerful color camera for astrophotographers seeking maximum performance without cooling. With the modern Sony IMX585 CMOS sensor, this camera offers razor-sharp images of planets, the moon and even deep-sky objects such as nebulae and galaxies.

What makes this camera unique is its combination of high resolution, speed and sensitivity - without disturbing amplifier glow (amp glow). Its small pixels of 2.9 µm allow you to achieve stunning resolution even with telescopes as small as f/10. Perfect for detail-rich shots, without the need for a Barlow.

Key features
