Designed for performance and reliability, it combines a <strong>2-stage TEC cooling<\/strong> (Delta-T up to 35-40 \u00b0C), a <strong>lightweight carbon-fiber chassis<\/strong>a <strong>integrated anti-fog system<\/strong> and a <strong>tilt plate front 3P + rear 4P<\/strong> for precise adjustment of field flatness. Its on-board electronics <strong>512 MB DDR3 cache<\/strong> for stable, lossless image acquisition, and the IMX585 sensor exploits <strong>STARVIS 2<\/strong> for high sensitivity and low read noise.<\/p>\n<p>With its <strong>full-well of 47 ke-<\/strong> (i.e. ~3.6 \u00d7 IMX485), a <strong>throughput up to 47 fps in RAW8<\/strong> and the absence of amp-glow (<em>non-amp-glow<\/em>), the Uranus-M Pro delivers a clean sky background and fine stars, whether in deep-sky narrowband\/LRGB or wide-field mosaics.
