- Sky-Watcher CMOS entry-level camera (colour version) with Sony IMX585C sensor.
- Main advantage: Very affordable price thanks to passive cooling (no temperature-controlled cooling).
- Limitation: No active cooling → slightly higher image noise compared to more expensive, cooled models.
- Applications: Sun, Moon, planet and simple deep-sky imaging.
- Tip: Many objects can be brought out clearly with carefully taken dark frames.
- Recommendation for more demanding astrophotographers: Choose a camera with active cooling.
Sky‑Watcher SynCam 585C – High‑Performance Colour CMOS for boarding Amateurs
Designed for the serious amateur astrophotographer, the new Sky‑Watcher SynCam 585C is a compact, passively‑cooled colour CMOS camera delivering 8.3 MP of detail with the acclaimed Sony IMX585 sensor (2.9 µm square pixels).
Key Strengths
- Ultra‑low read noise & glow‑free sensor – yields clean, low‑noise frames even at short exposures.
- Versatile imaging regime – excels in high‑resolution planetary, solar‑surface, and lunar photography, while also handling entry‑level deep‑sky targets (galaxies, nebulae) when paired with stacking or live‑stacking workflows.
- Compact, lightweight design – small diameter and low mass make it a perfect match for the optional Sky‑Watcher HAC125DX Honders Minigraph, avoiding aperture vignetting that larger cameras can cause.
- Black finish – minimizes stray reflections for maximum contrast.
Compatibility & Software Support
The SynCam 585C integrates seamlessly with the ToupTek Astronomy software ecosystem and is compatible with virtually every major astrophotography acquisition and control platform:
- Operating Systems
Windows, macOS (OS X), Linux, Android - Supported Software
ASCOM, SharpCap, Nebulosity, DeepSky Stacker, N.I.N.A., FireCapture, MaximDL, ToupSky, INDI, PHD Guiding, RegiStax, INDIGO, MetaGuide, AstroStack
What You Get Out of the Box
- SynCam 585C camera
- Protective dust cap
- USB 3.0 cable
- M42‑to‑1.25" adapter
With its high‑performance sensor, broad software support, and portable form factor, the SynCam 585C delivers an exceptional astrophotography experience for users looking to push the limits of planetary, solar, lunar, and modest deep‑sky imaging.
For ambitious astrophotographers, however, we recommend a camera with active cooling to further reduce noise and exploit the full potential during long exposure times.
