Xena 585M - next-generation guidance and imaging camera<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Visit Xena 585M<\/strong> is the latest guidance camera developed by Player One. It is part of the Dwarf Planet Series<\/strong>, a range designed for both high-precision guidance and astronomical imaging. This series comprises three models - Ceres<\/em>, Sedna<\/em> and Xena<\/em> - whose sensor size is directly linked to the name of the dwarf planet engraved on the case.<\/p>\n

With its modern Sony IMX585 sensor in 1\/1.2\u2033 format, the Xena 585M is positioned as a top-of-the-range model in the world of guiding cameras, offering exceptional sensitivity, extremely low read noise and remarkable versatility.<\/p>\n

Sony IMX585 sensor - sensitivity and resolution<\/h3>\n

The Xena 585M is equipped with Sony IMX585 monochrome sensor<\/strong>, a latest-generation CMOS sensor in 1\/1.2\u2033<\/strong>. It proposes a resolution of 8.3 megapixels (3856 \u00d7 2180)<\/strong> with 2.9 \u00b5m<\/strong>. This combination ensures excellent sampling both for precise guidance and for deep-sky or planetary imaging.<\/p>\n

Thanks to a well depth of 47 ke-<\/strong> and a diagonal of 12.85 mm<\/strong>, With its high dynamic range and excellent tolerance of bright stars, the camera is the ideal solution for all kinds of applications.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

STARVIS 2 technology - next-generation backlighting<\/h3>\n

The IMX585 sensor is based on the latest technology STARVIS 2<\/strong> from Sony. This is CMOS technology with backlit pixels (BSI), designed to maximize sensitivity and reduce readout noise. This architecture considerably enhances low-light performance, a decisive advantage for faint star guidance and deep-sky imaging.<\/p>\n

HDR Mode - extended dynamic range for deep skies<\/h3>\n

The Xena 585M features a HDR (High Dynamic Range) mode<\/strong>, mode, a feature specific to cameras based on the IMX585 sensor. This mode increases dynamic range while further reducing read noise, making it easier to capture fine structures in deep-sky objects, even in the presence of strong contrasts.<\/p>\n

High-speed USB 3.0 performance<\/h3>\n

Like all cameras in the Dwarf Planet Series, the Xena 585M is equipped with a USB 3.0 port (5 Gbps)<\/strong>, with transfer speeds more than ten times faster than USB 2.0. In full-resolution preview mode, the camera can achieve up to 47 frames per second in RAW8 mode<\/strong> (10-bit ADC).<\/p>\n

To take full advantage of this performance, the use of a High-quality SSDs<\/strong> is recommended, as the writing speed of the storage medium may limit the actual recording throughput.<\/p>\n

1.25\u2033 format and simplified integration<\/h3>\n

The Xena 585M adopts a 1.25\u2033 mechanical diameter<\/strong>, This allows it to fit directly into a standard 31.75 mm eyepiece holder or guide finder. This compact format reduces the length of the optical train and facilitates integration into lightweight or nomadic configurations.<\/p>\n

Combined with a CS lens from 5 to 100 mm<\/strong> (optional), the camera can also be used as a autonomous guidance camera or electronic finder<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

DPS - intelligent hot pixel suppression<\/h3>\n

Xena 585M benefits from proprietary technology DPS (Dead Pixel Suppression)<\/strong>. The system analyzes numerous dark images to identify fixed defective pixels and stores their position in the camera's internal memory. Each time a picture is taken, these pixels are automatically corrected by interpolation from neighboring pixels, without any external software intervention.<\/p>\n

Electronic safety and reliability<\/h3>\n

To guarantee the longevity of the camera and the safety of all your equipment, Player One Astronomy has integrated the following features overvoltage and overcurrent protection<\/strong>. These devices protect the camera in both fixed and mobile environments.<\/p>\n

Excellent measured performance<\/h3>\n

The performance of the Xena 585M is based on actual tests<\/strong>. Reading noise can be as low as 0.7 electron<\/strong> at a gain of 500. Users can check these values themselves using the Sensor Analysis<\/em> from SharpCap 4.<\/p>\n

The camera also displays a maximum quantum efficiency (QE) of around 91 %<\/strong>, This guarantees excellent sensitivity over a wide spectral range.<\/p>\n

ST4 connection for guidance<\/h3>\n

The Xena 585M can be used for software guidance (pulse guiding) or via a ST4 direct connection<\/strong>. Simply connect the camera to the AUTO GUIDE<\/em> of the equatorial mount using an ST4 cable for reliable, autonomous guidance.<\/p>\n
