Sony IMX294CJK uses larger-sized pixels and it achieves SNR1s of 0.14 lx: this makes the ASI294MC camera ideal for astronomy applications that require low-illumination performance. The ASI294MC has a 14bit ADC unit, allowing it to achieve 13 stops of dynamic range. At 13 stops, the ASI294MC has even more dynamic range than the ASI1600.
HCG (high conversion gain) mode, which reduces read noise to even lower levels at higher gain without loss to dynamic range, is automatically enabled when the gain setting is 120 or higher. Read noise will drop under 2e-, while dynamic range will remain at 13 stops.
USB 3.0 port provides 5Gb bandwidth to let ASI294MC run at 16 fps (14bit, normal mode) or 19 fps (10bit, high speed mode) at full resolution (11.7 megapixels). ST4 port can be used connect with auto guide port of mount, for guiding.
