Player One Astronomy Artemis-C Pro: Advanced DSO Cooled Camera for Astrophotography

The Artemis-C Pro (IMX294) is part of Player One Astronomy's most advanced DSO cooled camera line, meticulously designed for high-performance deep-sky imaging. Launched after extensive development and testing, the Artemis-C Pro combines cutting-edge technology with a striking design, making it a must-have for serious astrophotographers.

Key Features:

• Innovative Design: The Artemis-C Pro features a unique octagonal body with four cambered surfaces and round chamfers, ensuring both rigidity and flexibility. The red and black color scheme, combined with a super-fine frosting process, gives the camera a luxurious and cool aesthetic.

• Sony IMX294 Sensor: Equipped with a 4/3″ format color sensor, the Artemis-C Pro boasts a 4.63µm pixel size, 11.7MP resolution (4144x2824), and a diagonal of 23.2mm. The sensor’s well depth reaches 65.8Ke, ensuring exceptional image quality.

• Advanced Cooling System: The camera utilizes a 2-stage TEC cooling unit, achieving a Delta-T of over 40℃, effectively reducing sensor temperature to enhance imaging performance. The cooling system also includes an adjustable anti-dew heater to prevent condensation during long exposure sessions.

• DDR3 Cache: With a 512MB DDR3 cache, the Artemis-C Pro ensures stable data transmission, minimizing frame dropping and readout noise. This feature also allows the camera to perform excellently even when connected to a USB 2.0 port.

• High-Speed Data Transfer: The main data port supports USB 3.0, enabling the camera to achieve 33fps in RAW8 mode. The Type-C port is designed for easy connection during nighttime setups.

• Low Readout Noise: The Artemis-C Pro offers impressively low readout noise, with values verified through actual testing. Users can also test this themselves using Sharpcap 4’s Sensor Analysis feature.

• Precision Tilt Adjustment: The rear adjustment and 4-point tilt plate help minimize field curvature, ensuring sharp and accurate images across the entire field of view.

• Cooling System & Anti-Dew Heater: The ASCOM window provides control over the target temperature, fan speed, and anti-dew power, allowing users to customize the cooling performance based on their needs.

• Overvoltage & Overcurrent Protection: The camera is equipped with mechanisms to protect against overvoltage and overcurrent, ensuring the safety of your equipment.

The Artemis-C Pro by Player One Astronomy is more than just a camera; it’s a sophisticated tool designed to push the boundaries of deep-sky imaging. With its advanced features and robust design, it promises to deliver exceptional performance, making it an indispensable part of any astrophotographer's toolkit.
