Take your deep-sky imaging to the next level with the Player One ZEUS 455M PRO — a full-frame mono camera engineered for outstanding resolution and cooled performance.
Sony IMX455 Full-Frame CMOS Sensor:
61 megapixels (9576 x 6388), 3.76 µm pixel size, ~44.3 mm diagonal mono sensor.
Deep Cooling System:
Dual-stage TEC cooling achieves ΔT of up to ~35 °C below ambient, minimizing thermal noise.
Rear 4-Point Sensor Tilt Plate:
Precise tilt adjustment at four corners reduces field curvature. Includes high-density sponge shading pad to prevent side-light leakage.
512 MB DDR3 Buffer:
Stabilizes data transmission, prevents frame drops, and lowers readout noise-even on USB 2.0 ports.
STARVIS Back-Illuminated CMOS:
High quantum efficiency (~91%), excellent sensitivity for narrowband capture.
Native 16-Bit ADC:
Enables 65,536 tonal levels for smooth grayscale gradients and precision imaging.
Dual Sampling Modes:
Normal mode delivers higher frame rates, while Low-Noise (HCG) mode reduces read noise (~4.2 e⁻ → ~1.5 e⁻) and boosts dynamic range.
Non-Amp-Glow Design:
Minimal glow artifacts on long exposures, producing cleaner scientific frames.
Robust Mechanical Design:
Full-frame octagonal body made from frosted anodized surfaces, optimized for strength and thermal performance.
