50Ke. The readout noise can be as low as 0.9e, and what can be more surprising is that it has absolutely no amp glow! Note: The default full well capacity of ASI2600MC Duo is 50Ke. But at the gain value of -25, the full well capacity will be expended to 73Ke. - Page 4 Two in One Design Thanks to the compact design, the ASI2600MC Duo only needs one USB cable for control. It reduces potential cabling issues and improves setup convenience. You don’t need a separate set of OAG and guide camera for your guide system anymore.
- Page 5 Performance Improvement Let’s compare the specifications of ASI2600MC Pro and ASI2600MC Duo side by side. Note: The default full well capacity of ASI2600MC Duo is 50Ke. But at the gain value of -25, it will be expended to 73Ke. STARVIS technology The main sensir of ASI2600MC Duo is based on Sony STARVIS technology which reduces the amp glow.
- Page 6 Traditional CMOS sensors produce a weak infrared light source during exposure, which is quite often seen in the corners of uncalibrated images. It is the tell-tale sign of amp glow. As the main sensor of ASI2600MC Duo uses zero-amp glow design, you won’t have to worry about amp glow when taking images with high gains or long exposure times.

Page 7: Notice For Use
2 Notice for Use Before you use the camera, please read the guide below. All ASI DSO cameras need to be powered via DC12V@3A~5A power supply (D5.5x2.1mm, center positive). Or you can also use a lithium battery. Please note the power supply 11V~14V exceeding the range above will probably lead to irreversible damages to the camera. -

3.4 Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) ASI2600MC Duo has a built-in 16bit ADC. It supports partial sensor readout mode of custom ROI. Faster frame rate will be available at small ROI resolutions. Below are the MAX frame rates of ASI2600MC Duo at different USB ports and different ADC modes. -
Page 13: Cooling System
Heater on the Glass There is a polyimide heater completely fitting the protective window in the ASI2600MC Duo camera. It can help avoid potential dew or icing issues. The power consumption of the heater is about 2.88W. You can turn it off in the... -
Page 14: Power Consumption
3.7 Power Consumption ASI2600MC Duo can be powered with a DC 12V@ 3A-5A adapter (D5.5x2.1mm, center pole positive), or a 11-14V lithium battery. The cooling efficiency chart is as following figure shows: Note: When the anti-dew heater is on, and the cooling temperature is at 22℃, the current of the heater is 240mA. -
