Player One Ares-C PRO

Sony IMX533 1″ CMOS Sensor (Color):
9 MP resolution (3008 x 3008), 3.76 µm pixels, chip size approximately 11.31 mm square (16 mm diagonal).
High Full-Well Depth:
Approximately 73 k e⁻ - nearly 1.5x higher than the basic IMX533 variant.
Dual Sampling Modes:
Normal mode for faster planetary capture (≈43 FPS RAW8); LRN mode offers lower read noise (≈1 e⁻) for deep-sky imagery.
Rolling Shutter & 14-bit ADC:
High precision color data suitable for detailed astrophotography.
Dual-Stage TEC Cooling:
Maintains ΔT of 35-40 °C below ambient with integrated anti-dew heater and efficient thermal dissipation.
512 MB DDR3 Buffer:
Supports smooth data streaming and avoids frame drops even on USB 2.0.
Carbon-Fiber Chassis & Tilt Plates:
Lightweight ~420 g body with both 3-point front and optional 4-point rear tilt plates, plus shading sponge for side-light suppression.
