ATR2110C(ATR3CMOS02300KPA) User Manual 1 Description and Features The ATR2110C(ATR3CMOS02300KPA) camera is designed specifically for astrophotography. Large image area, big pixel size and high sensitivity make it suitable for night sky live broadcasting and meteor monitoring. It can be also used for deep sky photo shooting, since the camera has cooled CMOS sensor, ultra-low readout noise and zero amp-glow.
Windows® XP / Vista / 7 / 8 / 10 / 11 (32 & 64 bit) Supported OS OS x (Mac OS X) Linux 2.2 SmartSens SC2110 QE Curve The sensor G Sensitivity of ATR2110C is 120000 mV/Lux·s @HCG,10900 mV/Lux·s @LCG . Its QE Curve is shown in Figure 2.
2.3 12bit ADC and ROI ATR2110C has built in 12bit ADC. It also has 12bit output mode for hardware binning and smaller resolution. The camera also supports hardware ROI, and the smaller the ROI size is, the higher the frame rate is.
2.8 Zero Amp-Glow ATR2110C has been carefully designed and is able to achieve zero amp-glow photo shooting. Figure 3 and Figure 4 show the different cameras at 20C and 5-minute exposure time with and without amp-glow. By comparison, the image captured by ATR2110C shows zero amp-glow.
