I am interested in the IMX585 mono camera for EAA without cooler.
I think a lot of people are waiting for the mono version of this camera including me. If i would be Zwo i would make and release it before Player One does.
Checking regularly the websites for the news about an IMX585 mono camera, but no luck... Obviously, no new cameras will be released during summer.
miopic Yes same her. I look every 1-2 weeks for updates for an IMX585 mono cam. But no one seems to do one...
I would buy instandly one.
Fritz12 DevonRob Do not promise unconditionally your cash yet. If released, it could be pricey. ZWO has not released anything after spring yet.
Ditto - cooled, mono 585 and I'm there with bells on. Whoever releases one first can take my money
Not interested in a cooled version as the FWC of the sensor at HCG 252 is just too small for DSO imaging. Stars get too oversaturated at all exposures over 60s. With only 2.5K FWC at rhe low noise Gain 252 setting, the pixel saturation is fast. The 533 sensor has 16.5K FWC at liw noise HCG so it is much better for DSO imaging. I have both cameras and have tested them extensively. The 533 is a much better camera fir long exposures over 60 seconds.

Any updates. Id definitely be interested in this model as I have the 585MC Pro
StarMedic The topic on IMX585 mono camera appeared over a year ago. ZWO replied they were evaluating this option. Usually, the new camera appears in half a year after "evaluation". It is obvious to me that the decision was negative. No other manufacturers came to the market with the IMX585 either. This may indicate that there is a dearth of the sensors (e.g. they are used in the battle drones), and the available sensors are too expensive.
It's still being evaluated
Today I read on CN that Omegon would be releasing a cooled 585 mono, https://www.omegon.eu/astronomical-cameras/omegon-camera-vetec-585-m-mono/p,85085
Also QHY, https://www.qhyccd.com/qhy-minicam8/
I did not want to wait anymore, and purchased (uncooled) ASI678MM with the view to use it for EAA of nebulas and star clusters. I will be missing the larger sensor of 585.
miopic 585 mono
QHY are also releasing a mono 585 in 1.25 format very very soon, their colour 585 has been out for a while.
Most of us who are members of this forum are loyal ZWO customers. We’ve waited for quite a while for an answer to the question, will ZWO produce a cooled, monochrome version on the ASI535MC? How ‘bout it?
bigbanger We will produce both cooled and uncooled 585MM.
Meanwhile QHY have released the 585 mono and colour in both 1.25 inch and Minicam8 format (cooled, in built filter wheel and filters).
Is there an estimated ETA for the ZWO ASI585MM?
I want this in a 1.25 inch body, so it'll be good for OAG use and solar imaging too. The 174 is way too old now and the 1.25 inch line needs a new 1.25 larger sensor model, even an IMX533 would be good in a 1.25 inch camera body format. The question is how long will ZWO take to respond to the likes of existing products from QHY and Player One. Either do this or unlock the asiair to use competitor cameras.
I'd estimate if it's being worked on right now, a demo ready for NEAF 2025, then summer release. As competitor products are already available to buy right now, they can't take too long to bring to market.
