ZWO 294MC 4/3 Inches Astronomical Color Camera High Speed USB3.0 IMX294CJK Sensor Built-in 14bit ADC

Description:

- ASI294 is the first camera in the world that equiped with SONY latest sensor IMX294CJK.
- IMX294CJK: Diagonal 21.63 mm (Type 4/3) Approx. 10.71M-Effective Pixel Color CMOS Image Sensor, This is the official description on Sony website. In our effort, we remolded it to make it Diagonal 23.2 mm (Type 4/3) Approx. 11.71M-Effective Pixel.
- The “IMX294CJK” is the first in-house image sensor for astronomic cameras to adopt the Type 4/3 format, and realizes output of the number of pixels needed for 4K at 120 frame/s (in ADC 10-bit output mode, ASI294MC can run up to 25fps at 4k format base on USB3.0 bandwidth). In addition, use of a large-size pixel achieves SNR1s of 0.14 lx* which is very close to the value of ASI224(0.13 lx*).
- Exceptional low-illumination performance of SNR1s: 0.14 lx is realized by use of a large-size optical system and by expanding the area per pixel to 4.63 µm. This makes the IMX294CJK ideal sensor for astronomic camera market applications which requires low-illumination performance.
- 14bit ADC & 13 stops DR: ASI294 have 14bit ADC and it can achieve 13 stops dynamic range which is even better than ASI1600.

HCG Mode:
- HCG mode will be on when gain is higher than 120(12db), read noise will drop below 2e but same dynamic range(13 stops).


ASI294MC Full well Capacity:
- 63700e full well, which is 3 times than ASI1600’s capacity. Even bright stars won’t saturate under long exposure.
- This camera can achieve higher SNR(signal to noise ratio) with just one single exposure.

ASI294MC Ports:

- USB 3.0 Port: Provide 5Gb bandwidth to make it possible for ASI294MC to run at 16 fps (14bit, normal mode) or 19 fps (12bit, high-speed mode) at full resolution(11.7Mega).
- ST4 Port: Can be used to connect with auto guide port of mount, for guiding.
