ZWO support site: https://support.astronomy-imaging-camera.com/ The ASI432MM is one of the latest color planetary cameras released by ZWO in 2022. Packed with Sony sensor IMX432, this camera has some very great highlights, including a large sensor format of 1.1”, a large pixel size of 9.0um, and super-fast frame rate up to 120fps.
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. The following figure shows the QE curve of ASI432. According to our measurement, the QE peak of ASI432 is 79%.
