Artemis-C Pro (IMX294) cooled camera is developed by Player One Astronomy, it’s design for advanced DSO imaging. it adopts Sony IMX294 4/3″ format color sensor. The 4.63um pixel size accommodates a well depth of 65.8Ke with a total of 11.7MP (the resolution is 4144*2824), and the diagonal is 23.2mm.
Polygon like regular hexagon is very Player One, the DSO cooled cameras we want to make it more beautiful and practical. After a lot of trying, we fix the final style, which uses a scientific and technological octagon to construct the main body line and 4 sides are cambered surface, supplemented by round chamfers to achieve both rigidity and flexibility. The front piece is round to avoid diffraction on RASA.The camera body is a vibrant red, accentuated with classic black trim.The sandblasted coating on the outer surface makes the camera look luxurious and cool, while inside this is a solid scientific instrument.
When taking deepsky objects, using sensor tilt plate can get a much smaller field curvature of the telescope. We adopts rear Adjustment and 4 point tilt plate, it has a lot advantages in usage.4 Point adjustment is easier to know which corner is needed to adjust. The built-in high-density sponge shading pad can block the light from the side slits without any side leakage.
Player One cooled camera series use 2 Stage TEC Cooling unit, after improved the structure design to reject the heat back to camera chamber, Camera Delta-T can reach over 40℃.
As an improvement, DDR3 cache in cooled cameras are increased to 512MB. It helps stabilize and secure data transmission, it effectively avoids frame dropping and greatly reduces readout noise.
With the DDR3 cache, the camera does not have high demands on computing needs any longer, it will still has excellent performance even if it is connected to a USB 2.0 port.
Artemis-C Pro (IMX294) cooled camera based on Sony STARVIS technology, it is back-illuminated pixel technology used in CMOS image sensors.
Artemis-C Pro cooled camera has 4/3″ format (19.2mm*13mm), this size is very popular for DSO imaging.
IMX294 sensor has 14-bit on-chip ADC. 14bit (16384 levels) provide higher sample resolution than 12bit (4096 levels).
Back piece of cooled camera has 2 Type-C data port and 12V DC 5.5×2.1mm power port.
Main data port support USB3.0 protocol, the camera can run 33fps under RAW8 mode. Type-C port is easier to plug in when assemble the imaging equipment in night.
When recording images, since the actual writing speed will be affected by the writing speed of the hard disk itself, when the hard disk writing speed is slow, the recording may not reach the theoretical speed. It is recommended that you use a high-quality solid state drive to record data to give full play to the performance of the camera.
The camera has 12V DC5.5*2.1mm port to provide enough power to TEC cooling system. If you don’t need to power up cooling, only need to connect the main Type-C port, the camera will works as a uncooled camera.
