TS-Optics ToupTek Mono Astro Camera 585CP G2 Sony IMX585 Sensor D=12.78 mm
Cooled USB 3.0 mono astro camera with powerful Sony CMOS sensor for astrophotography - Gen. 2 with adapter flange
TS 585CP Mono Astro Camera of the latest Generation without Amp Glow
The camera with the powerful Sony IMX585 sensor allows astrophotography on a very high level. This modern sensor can be used for all areas of astrophotography. The 3.7 µm pixels make this camera a high resolution all-rounder with highest sensitivity for short exposure times.
Another advantage is the sensational light sensitivity. The QE of 80% by the BACK ILLUMINATION technology already allow deep astro images with short exposure times. This makes the camera very well suited for deep sky photography.
Gen. 2 supplied with removable T2 adapter
To make the camera even more flexible, the T2 connection on the camera is removable. The working distance of 17.5 mm remains unchanged.
Back-illumination technology:
Sony´s back-illuminated CMOS imaging sensor improves sensitivity and noise reduction - key factors in improving image quality - by changing the basic pixel structure from front- to back-illuminated. The advantages of CMOS image sensors, such as low power consumption and high operating speed, have been retained.
The back illumination improves the light acquisition and increases the amount of light at the same time. This makes significantly shorter exposure times possible and leads to an improved quantum efficiency of 80%.
Sony has developed a unique photodiode structure and on-chip lens optimized for backside-exposed structures, this results in higher sensitivity and lower random noise without light by reducing noise, dark current and defective pixels compared to the conventional front-side-illuminated structure.
No amp glow:
Conventional CMOS sensors produce a faint infrared light source during operation, which can often be seen in the corners of uncalibrated images as a telltale sign of "amp glow". Since the TS585CP uses zero amp glow circuitry, you don´t have to worry about amplifier glow even when using high-gain, long-exposure images.
Connection to correctors with M48 thread and 55 mm working distance with filter change
Most coma correctors or field flatteners for refractors have 55 mm working distance and an M48x0.75 thread on the camera side. Here you will find an interesting suggestion for the connection. The camera has a back focus of 17.5 mm from the T2 female thread. The adapters are from the camera to the corrector:
1. TSFSLM48T2 - filter drawer with T2 connection on the camera side and M48 thread on the telescope side.
2. TSVF220 - 20 mm M48 extension.
Total 55.5 mm flange focal distance - the 0.5 mm compensates well for the glass travel of the filter - spot landing!!!
The new G2 cameras are also mechanically compatible with ZWO filter wheels (not electronically compatible) and the ZWO filter drawer. The filter changers are screwed on directly via the M2.5 threads. The articles are linked in the accessories section.
Connecting the ToupTek filter drawer and the ToupTek off-axis guider to a cooled ToupTek G2 camera is not completely intuitive, which is why ToupTek has produced a suitable instruction video. You can watch the video here and also download it, for example by clicking the right mouse button:
