Re: QSI 700 series cameras in stock and available now.


 

I've only seen the results from a couple users of pre-production units on AstroBin so far, yes. At least in terms of noise, there's only one curiosity in the 5 min dark I started with, where there's a little elevated ADUs (10-15) up against the edge. But much like the dark current, this is a very quiet sensor and these slightly elevated ADUs should correct out cleanly. Medium gain puts the noise floor at around 400 ADU, and the mean of the whole dark is 406 at 5 minutes (and a bit lower at 3min). I'm honestly impressed just how much Sony has kept noise down as they've shrunk the pixels on their sensors, as this is doing just as well as my 168C with larger pixels.

This is my first mono camera, so I'm still working through the changes to my process with NINA, as well as a reinstall of NINA and APCC on a new mini PC. I do want to get this out under the stars this week if at all possible though, so I do want to share some results once I've had the chance to capture something more than just flats and darks.?
