1 Description and Features The ATR3CMOS01700KMA camera is designed specifically for astrophotography. It is mainly used for solar photo shooting, since the camera has cooled CMOS sensor, low readout noise. It can be also used for planetary photo shooting. Its extraordinary performance and extensive usage will give you great astrophotography experience.
Windows® XP / Vista / 7 / 8 /10 (32 & 64 bit) Supported OS OSx(Mac OS X) Linux 2.2 Sony IMX432 Sensitivity The sensor G Sensitivity of ATR3CMOS01700KMA is 8100mv with 1/30s. Its spectral sensitivity is shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1 IMX432 Spectral Sensitivity Characteristic 2.3 12bit ADC and ROI The ATR3CMOS01700KMA has built in 12bit ADC. The camera also supports hardware ROI, and the smaller the ROI size is, the higher the frame rate is. Table 2 shows the frame rate of the ATR3CMOS01700KMA in 12/8bit mode, USB3.0 / USB2.0 data transfer interface at different resolutions: Table 2 ATR3CMOS01700KMA Frame Rate at Different Resolution/Data Bit/Data Transfer (USB3.0/ USB2.0)
ATR3CMOS01700KMA Manual Thermoelectric Cooling The cooling system of ATR3CMOS01700KMA is two-stage (TEC) with controllable electric fan assisting heat dissipation. The TEC system is controlled by PID algorithm, which allows the TEC to be precisely regulated towards the target temperature with 0.1°C deviation.
