Response
Digitized manufacturer reference for ASI2600MM Pro. Other cameras using this sensor can have different filters and windows.
- mono
Astro mode
Emission-line overlay on the active single-profile plot. Values are the source's own native samples (or a labelled linear interpolation).

Source & details
- Source category: estimated
- Estimated response: not a primary measurement (e.g. diffraction-grating closed-form recovery, model prediction). Independent of profile_type and quality/confidence grades.
- Type: estimated
- Estimated response, not a direct measurement; quality and confidence are assessed separately.
- Quality: unassessed
- Quality has not been assessed; no grade is inferred. Raster graph digitization; source measurement uncertainty is not documented.
- Confidence: unassessed
- Confidence has not been assessed; no confidence level is inferred. Exact chip and mode documented; complete camera equivalence is not established.

- digitized from manufacturer graph
- As-is
- Samples rendered verbatim: no smoothing, no interpolation, no zero-padding, no gap bridging in the browser. Documented null sparse cells render as visible gaps.
- Uncertainty
- Extraction tolerance is documented in the downloadable JSON; it does not quantify source measurement uncertainty.

- Known limitations
- Approximation digitized from the manufacturer's graph, not original numerical measurements.
- Manual labels this as the ASI2600MM Pro camera curve; its AR window contribution is not separated.
- No extrapolation outside the extracted range; source uncertainty is unknown.
