Ares-M Pro

Player One Ares-M PRO

Key Features

• Sony IMX533 1″ CMOS Sensor (Mono):
  9 MP resolution (3008 x 3008), 3.76 µm pixels, 16 mm diagonal chip (~11.31 mm x 11.31 mm).
• High Full-Well Depth:
  Up to ~73 k e⁻ full well capacity-ideal for high dynamic range capture.
• Dual Sampling Modes:
  Normal mode supports fast planetary imaging; LRN mode minimizes read noise (~4.46 e⁻) for detailed DSO capture.
• Rolling Shutter & 14-bit ADC:
  Provides refined tonal depth and precision.
• Deep TEC Cooling:
  Dual-stage cooling offers ΔT ~35-40 °C below ambient, supported by anti-dew heater circuitry.
• Integrated DDR3 Buffer:
  512 MB buffer ensures seamless streaming even over USB 2.0.
• Carbon-Fiber Build & Tilt Plates:
  Front 3-point and optional rear 4-point sensor tilt plates with anti-light-leak sponge pad, in a lightweight and durable 420 g body.

Why Choose This Product?

• Fast & Flexible Sampling:
  Supports both planetary-speed imaging and deep-sky low-noise DSO capture in one sensor.
• Top-tier Full-Well for a 1″ Sensor:
  ~73 k e⁻ capacity supports better highlight retention and dynamic range.
• Compact & Lightweight:
