ZWO Pro cameras feature a 256MB DDR3 memory buffer to enable data transfer stability and reduced amp-glow caused by the slow data transfer speed when using a USB2.0 port.Ĭamera Field of View Simulator Camera Performance Sony has newly developed a unique photo-diode structure and on-chip lens optimised for back-illuminated structures, that achieves a higher sensitivity and a lower random noise without light by reducing noise, dark current and defect pixels compared to the conventional front-illuminated structure. A back-illuminated structure minimises the degradation of sensitivity to optical angle response, while also increasing the amount of light that enters each pixel due to the lack of obstacles such as metal wiring and transistors that have been moved to the reverse of the silicon substrate. With a conventional front-illumination structure, the metal wiring and transistors on the surface of the silicon substrate that form the sensor’s light-sensitive area (photo-diode) impede photon gathering carried out by the on-chip lens. It has retained the advantages of CMOS image sensors such as low power consumption and high-speed operation. Sony’s back-illuminated CMOS image sensor improves sensitivity and noise reduction – the key factors to enhancing image quality, while radically realigning their fundamental pixel structure from front-illumination to back-illumination. This significantly improves the image sharpness and contrast, and the colour changes are smoother and more natural. This 16bit ADC is not a CCD 16bit ADC, and it can really achieve a dynamic range output of 14 stops. Compatible with Windows / Mac OS / LinuxĪSI2600MC Pro is our first batch of CMOS astronomy cameras with 16bit ADC.USB3.0 Port (back compatible with USB2.0).Electronic shutter - no issues with vibrations sometimes found in mechanical shutters.
