    How well does this image sensor operate below the specified operational range? -5c seems a bit high as far as operational range goes, is that the point at which it becomes completely unusable?

      We cannot guarantee the performance when ambient temperature is under -5C.

    Does the 1600 support 2×2 hardware binning? If so what would the full frame capture speed be for this application? I would be using this for Ha solar imaging and possibly deep sky imaging. Would the cooled version be recommended?

      Yes, it does.
      I test in my ASICAP, when set bin2,high speed mode with USB speed 100,the frame rate can up to 47fps.
      When you do deep sky imaging we recommend you use cooled camera.

    Hello Sam

    I have problem with my 1600 mono cooled. Its very annoying. I use the camera with SharpCap (newest Version 3.0.3956.0). When I make pictures from bright object and stack them afterwards (ex. from the moon or sun) I always have a grid/checkerboard in all images. I know that you released a modified asicamera2.dll for SharpCap that should resolve that problem. But not with my camera. I tried the option “Pattern Adjust” in Sharp Cap with setting 0-4 but it doesn’t help. Pattern Setting 1-4 makes it wors instead of better. Any idea? The camera is not usable with that grid that is always and in any picture. I can send you example pictures if you tell me where I can send them. thank you very much. Andreas

      we just extend the range to -2, seems some camera need negative value
      please contact us through email and we will let you test the new dll

    I want use camera for imaging of old manuscripts, exposure time is not more then 5 sec. But time of session can be 1 hour. Is cooled version better for this?

      :

      yes, cooled version is the best for your application
      there is difference if you exposure longer than 1s

    Would operating the camera below -5C likely result in damage, or just reduced performance?

    Hello, Two questions:
    1) what is the sensitivity in mV of the 1600MM?

    2) what is better for DSO, the 1600MM or the 178MM. The 178MM has a bit more read noise and slightly less dynamic range than the 1600MM, but it is back-illuminated, 14 bit, and optimized for low light (Starvis). thank you

      :

      of course 1600 is better as its 4/3″ format and free of amp-glow
      about sensitivity, you only need to care about QE

    Is the ASI 1600M mono and color camera capable of 16 bit imaging? ……or just 10 and 12 bit?

    • Sam Wen

      :

      the ADC is 12bit and camera can output 16bit format image
      the low 4 bits are 0

    So if I understand it well, the temperature of the camera can be set at a predetermined level (up to 40 degrees below ambient) ? So one can have a “library of darks” for future use and not have to do the darks every time ?

      yes, you are correct, but it’s better to do it after light frame

    I am contemplating buying the 1600. I am a little conflicted between cooled or not cooled. I live in Colorado Springs and image frequently in the mountains of Colorado. So at most the temperature are 45-50 fahrenheit during the summer nights. Most often I am imaging in close to freezing if not subfreezing temperature. It seems to me that the cooling function might not be necessary. I need your opinion.
    Thanks

      cooler can help to keep the temperature stable, so it’s better for you to maintain your dark frames and easier to calibrate
