Introducing the new ZWO ASI385MC Astronomy Camera
ASI385MC Features
The ZWO ASI385MC is here. With Sony’s IMX385 sensor it’s essentially the big brother of the outrageously popular ASI224MC.
1936 x 1096 sensor array with 3.75µm pixels. Amazingly low read noise (as low as 0.7e and just 1.2e at unity gain).
QE Peak > 80% and outstanding sensitivity in the red and near IR.
It also shares the same quirk as the ASI224MC, performing like a monochrome camera past 850nm where each individual filter of the Bayer array shares nearly identical transmission.
Astrophotography Performance
ASI385MC offers very good performance for astrophotography. Low read noise, high dynamic range, QE peak >80%, AR protective window and much more.
ASI385 Characteristics
