I’ve just purchased this camera after watching your video. Thank you so much for the comparison.🙏🏼

[@easyastroimages5818]

great to hear

[@jeffchaplin555]

Bought it like 2 hours before I found your video! Thanks for the review, well done man!

[@easyastroimages5818]

Thanks Jeff! It really worked out nice. That was last night. Off with the old and on with this one. Done and super easy! Enjoy

[@SKYST0RY]

I've been using this sensor on the Player One Uranus-C for about a year now. It is so impressive that I haven't bothered to use any other camera in that time. Even without cooling on hot nights it performs beautifully. I figured out it performs best around gain 250 before Player One and ZWO announced the changes. It is a good trade between dynamic range, noise and light amplification. Phenomenal camera.

[@easyastroimages5818]

awesome

[@EarthAndSky4u]

I got one as my first dedicated camera and love it!

[@easyastroimages5818]

a great first choice!!!

[@claytonostler]

This video convinced me to buy the 585. Thanks

[@easyastroimages5818]

Awesome. It’s a great little camera.

[@HeavenlyBackyardAstronomy]

Hi Chad, Thanks for the review of the 585. I just bought one but my reason was to use it for planetary imaging. This 585 is great for that. I never considered using it for DSO since it is uncooled. But your comparison of the Crescent nebula with the 183 gets me to wonder and perhaps try the 585 on other than the planets. Good report. - Patrick -

[@easyastroimages5818]

Thanks Patrick. I am trying to get more comparisons going. Smoke and transparency are getting in the way :( I was pretty shocked as well in a good way :)

Hi, you're my man. I have this cam and use it for deep-sky and it really makes a good job. I was thinking about a cooled one. But after this video I think the 585 will do its job.Thanks

[@easyastroimages5818]

Glad I could help

[@Astronurd]

I just ordered one for myself along with an ASI air plus to try a bit of EEVA.

[@easyastroimages5818]

you wont be disappointed..very easy to use

[@SiskiyouForest]

Thanks for the comparison! I’ve had the 585 in my cart for a while now debating whether or not to pull the trigger. This helps. I currently have a 2600mm on my esprit 100, looking for something to do EAA with

[@easyastroimages5818]

No problem. I used to only do eaa for years and over the past year have switched gears. It’s a perfect eaa cam for sure. And imaging as you can see. I wasn’t super happy with any of the comparisons or examples out there so I took a gamble and glad I did. It’s a keeper for me.

[@SiskiyouForest]

Yes that would be. I am thinking of a similar setup for the future

[@marcelorsc]

Thanks for your review! Just bought a C8 (Celestron NexStar 8SE 2032mm f/10) for visual observing but also would like to start with EAA and some imaging. Planned to buy a camera around $200 (like Celestron NexImage 5 or some SvBony), but in astronomy we always end being pushed up 😀 But the idea of being able to do planetary AND some basic DSO is tempting! (no Hubble like photos pretension) So budget was raised to $300 for a 678MC, but it seems that the 585MC ($400) will provide much more flexibility for DSO, right? I suppose that due larger sensor than the 678MC I'll need a Barlow for planets, and I can use the 0,63x focal reducer with the 585MC for DSO, right? Will it work? Thanks and regards! (no guiding in this stage)

[@easyastroimages5818]

This sensor will work well for eaa. The larger you can get will help without guiding and for plate solving. I would wait on a Barlow for now and get used to it all before adding the complexity of changing back focus and adding adapters to make it fit. Instead add a f6.3 reducer to the mix for the c8.

[@marcelorsc]

@@easyastroimages5818 Thank you! Yes, the focal reducer seems essential for a f/10. I'm still confused about that "thumb rule" that the focal length should be "5x" the pixel size of the camera, so for f/10 the ASI678MC would fit better (2um), but for ASI585MC it would require about f/15 (2.9um) requiring a 1.5x Barlow. I still have to learn about the implications of not matching this to be sure that the 585 will fit well (using the FR it would be even more distant).

[@LeeeB0]

Hi, thanks for this video! For a 10" GOTO dob F/4.7 1200mm, would you recommend the 585MC or the 294MC (uncooled) for general all purpose astro of planets and deep sky using EAA maybe also? thank you

[@easyastroimages5818]

for a budget deal the 585 is hard to beat but for that big wide dob you would def want a larger sensor size with more smaller pixels. the 294 would be a good start..the 2600 would be the mack daddy. the 183 is really a great value as well and ive had a lot of success with it and it used to be the eaa king due to its pefect sensor size and high high megapixel

[@RetiredFE]

Excellent video. I'm a newbie and was wondering if this camera would work with my Sky-watcher Evostar 100 ED f/9 scope. I'm concerned about the f/9 aperature. I would like to switch from my Nikon D5000 to a ZWO camera but can't afford $1000 - $2000 for a new camera. Thanks

[@easyastroimages5818]

It will work. But as you know the slow focal ratios and small chip size would make things a little difficult.

[@craiglowery4427]

The 585 is in stock at ZWO. I buy directly from them

[@yervantparnagian5999]

Thanks for the review. i was intrigued by this 585 camera and think it would work great for me. Will this camera match up well with my Astro Tech AT60ED? Thanks again.

[@easyastroimages5818]

It will be a smaller fov then a larger sized sensor but you will still enjoy it. This was taken with an 81mm so you should be able to see the difference

[@dougiesmart1623]

Thanks very much for your splendid video. I purchased a 585MC a couple of weeks ago and have used it a couple of times and love it. You mentioned setting the camera at a gain of 252. In your view, is that the sweet spot for sensor light gathering power versus noise? Sorry I am used to using a DSLR and more used to ISO settings (I normally set my DSLR around ISO800 or 1600). I hope you can advise. Cheers Dougie (from Scotland).

[@Bortle10]

252 is the lowest readnoise according to the website

[@easyastroimages5818]

yes for now.. 252..I think zwo is trying to work out some software for this sensor because they have released 2 sdk updates in the past few weeks. both have changed the default offset. seems like they might be trying to improve the camera to the player one HGC spec of 180

[@Chorge1972]

Still torn between the 183MC Pro and the new cooled 585MC Pro… want to use it on my 80APO with 450mm Focal length for galaxies, when I would have to crop to far for the pixel size with my 2600MC Pro. If prize would be the same: which cam would you choose?! Do I need much more integration time with the 183 than with the 585? Clear skies are very rare here…

[@easyastroimages5818]

The 183 is just the winner for me due to the larger sensor size. Really getting small with a 585. 2600mc is my preferred choice. Don’t get hung up on image scale. Its irrelevant when you can scale up and down and drizzle in PI

[@tedg3250]

Great upload!! Hey for a meade 130mm apo Refractor would the asi183 be any good and if not what would you recommend, looking to do Planetary and deep sky. Thanks Greetings from New York City

[@easyastroimages5818]

Yes, absolutely..i think there are better but more expensive choices but the 183 is a bargain to learn with for a long time

[@artmcdonald853]

I am still using the 183 with my GT-71. But cant nail down gain and offset, What was you using?

[@easyastroimages5818]

just the stock from the zwo sdk in nina. i think its 120 and offset 50. i sold the 183 so i cant be exact but the answer is on cloudynights i think..google it and youll see the same numbers come up over and over. thats what i did

[@michaelbibby8636]

What focal length were you imaging at? Given the fact that the pixel size is 2.9um, this camera would likely perform better for sub 700mm focal lengths.

[@easyastroimages5818]

yep..385..all the microns :)

[@RetiredFE]

I'm a newbie and I have the Sky-Watcher Evostar 100 ED 900mm f/9 scope. I'm looking to upgrade from my Nikon D5000 and wondering if this would be a good alternative? Thanks

[@michaelbibby8636]

@@RetiredFE I am no expert, I am pretty new to all of this myself. Check the 'ccd suitability calculator' tool online. My understanding is that at your focal length you would ideally have a sensor size 3.7um or more. Some people seem to favour over-sampling, while other favour under-sampling (i.e., drizzling in post). When I was using my Uranus-C at 1000mm focal length I was generally using it in bin 2, now I use it at 750mm without binning. No doubt slightly over-sampling, but it achieves pretty good results.

[@michaelbibby8636]

@@RetiredFE The Uranus-C will have a significantly smaller field of view than your Nikon, and the pixel size of the Nikon is more suited to your 900mm focal length.

These zwo cameras just are getting better all the time.thanks to your video I will be buying the 585. A friend told me about why but I think tzwo.is better. Is this a big sensor would it work good in my zenith star 81 scope by William optics? Thanks chad

[@easyastroimages5818]

Bigger is usually better no matter the scope. It’s just the way these sensors work :(

[@clayking4617]

I'm confused an uncool 183 is $399 not $800. Compared to the 585's $399. You are basically trading sensor size for less amp glow in the 585. I think the 183c is still the better deal, because like you said your still taking darks to remove hot pixels. I wish you would of captured the more common EAA images in the 8-60 second range

[@easyastroimages5818]

This was an imaging comparison. Not an eaa one. So I was actually shaking the opposite. $400 vs the cooled $800 camera for imaging purposes. If that makes sense

[@refetastro]

Great video My question can dlsr do a sharper job than this ?

[@easyastroimages5818]

maybe..but not as easy

[@IulianGeorge-cigraphics]

I was looking for something like this. I was between getting the 585 or 533. But i looks like investing 500 GBP more will not make much of a difference.

Cooling is nice. The larger sensor is nice. But the proof is right here. The 533 matches up well though with a longer focal length.

No it wouldn’t. The Redcat really wants a large sensor. If you’re struggling with budget go at least to a 183 sensor. If you can swing it then the 2600 mc is the way. I’ve taken my best images yet with this combo.
