ASI294MC

ASI294 is the world's first camera equipped with SONY's latest sensor IMX294CJK.

14-bit ADC & 13-bit DR

ASI294 has a 14-bit ADC, which can reach 13 stops of dynamic range, which is better than ASI1600.

HCG mode

When will the HCG mode be turned ongethigher than120(12db), the read noise will drop below2eBut the same dynamic range (13 stops).

full well capacity

The 63700e is full, three times the capacity of the ASI1600. Even bright stars don't saturate with long exposures.

The camera achieves higher SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) with just one exposure.

high quantitative easing

The IMX294 sensor is a BSI (Backside Illuminated) sensor with a very high QE (we assume a peak QE of more than 75%).

USB 3.0 port and ST4 port

USB 3.0 ports:Offering 5Gb bandwidth, it is possible for the ASI294MC to run at 16 fps (14-bit, normal mode) or 19 fps (10-bit, high-speed mode) at full resolution (11.7Mega).

ST4 port:Can be used to connect the automatic guide port of the base for guiding.
