Page 6: Qe Graph & Read Noise
ASI071 Manual 4. QE Graph & Read Noise QE and Read noise are the most important parts to measure the performance of a camera. Higher QE and Lower read noise are needed to improve the SNR of an image. Here is the relative QE graph of ASI071. - Page 7 ASI071 Manual Read noise includes pixel diode noise, circuit noise and ADC quantization error noise, and the lower the better. The Read Noise of the ASI071 cameras is extremely low when compared with traditional CCD cameras and it is even lower when the camera is used at a higher gain. Depending on your target, you can set the gain lower for higher dynamic range (longer exposure) or set the gain higher for lower noise (such as short exposure or lucky imaging).

Page 9: Power Consumption
ASI071 Manual 5.2 Power consumption ASI071 has one APS-C format sensor, the max power consumption is around 500ma@5V which is nearly the maximum power supply of USB2.0. We recommend customer connect ASI071 through USB3.0 which can provide 1A@5V power. You also need a separate power supply to power the cooler. -
Page 10: Cooling System
ASI071 Manual 5.3 Cooling system The ASI071 camera has a robust, regulated cooling system, which means that the camera sensor can be kept at the desired temperature throughout your imaging session. The super low readout noise, combined with efficient cooling and adjustable gain setting, allows you to do short or lucky DSO imaging unlike the traditional CCD cameras which need very long exposure for each frame. -

Page 13: Cleaning
ASI071 Manual 7. Cleaning The camera is sealed and comes with an AR protect window to protect the sensor from dusts and humidity. We don’t recommend customer to open the camera for cleaning. The dusts can be removed by post processing with flat frame. To see the dusts, you just need to set up your telescope and point it to a bright place. - Page 14 ASI071 Manual The big dim spot on the image (at right) are the shadows of dust on the protect window. The very small but very dark spot in the image (at left) are the shadows of the dusts on the sensor.
