The IMX585 is a 1\/1.2″ sensor (12.85 mm diagonal, 3856 × 2180 pixels, 11.2 mm × 6.3 mm imaging area) with 2.9 µm pixels, a 47 ke- full-well capacity, and a peak quantum efficiency of about 91% that extends well into the near-infrared. It reads out at up to 47 fps and cools 35°C–40°C below ambient, so it crosses over between high-frame-rate planetary work and cooled deep-sky imaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a good match if you want one camera that handles both planetary lucky imaging and cooled deep-sky exposures. The small 2.9 µm pixels and high frame rate suit the Moon and planets at long focal length, while the cooling and strong near-IR response make it capable on nebulae, comets, and IR-pass targets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features \u0026amp; Design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSony IMX585 color sensor:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3856 × 2180 with 2.9 µm pixels and standout near-IR sensitivity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeak QE about 91%:\u003c\/strong\u003e very efficient for a color sensor, including deep red and near-IR.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRead noise down to 0.7e-:\u003c\/strong\u003e an exceptionally low floor for short and long exposures alike.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUp to 47 fps, 12-bit ADC:\u003c\/strong\u003e high frame rates for planetary lucky imaging.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo-stage TEC, 35°C–40°C below ambient:\u003c\/strong\u003e very low dark current (0.0004 e\/s\/pixel at -20°C).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e512 MB DDR3 buffer:\u003c\/strong\u003e steadies the USB3.0 data stream during fast capture.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOptical \/ Mechanical Design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe IMX585 combines fine 2.9 µm pixels with a very low read noise floor (0.7e-) and near-IR-extended QE peaking around 91%, which is what lets a single sensor serve both planetary and deep-sky roles.
