Source & details

Source category: unknown: Source category is not documented by the manifest. Not a measured, estimated, or mirror curve until evidence supports a label.
Type: not documented: Measurement, estimation or proxy derivation is not documented by this label; origin does not establish it.
Quality: unassessed: Quality has not been assessed; no grade is inferred. Source values and quality flags are preserved as published.
Confidence: unassessed: Confidence has not been assessed; no confidence level is inferred. No complete camera response or source uncertainty is documented.

Source and sensor identification

Celestron's Origin technology page explicitly says first release selected the Sony STARVIS IMX178 color CMOS. Mark II uses another part and is separate.
