The Art-285

The ART-285 is the flagship of the Artemis range of cameras.  The Sony ICX285 offers fantastic performance both in terms of sensitivity and extremely low dark noise.  Its a mega pixel progressive scan device.   This means all the pixels can be read out in one go which removes the need to interlace the separate fields that the other CCDs  require.  It is more expensive than the other CCDs supported but is probably worth it.  However all Artemis cameras can easily be upgraded by replacement of the CCD and making some simple adjustments.
