About this spectrum2 notes
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.

Methodology

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.
  • Digitized manufacturer reference for ASI2600MM Pro. Other cameras using this sensor can have different filters and windows.

ZWO ASI2600 Manual (mono camera sensor specifications)

Image area and resolution are documented for this reference camera; other cameras may use a different crop or binning mode.

ZWO identifies the mono camera as Sony IMX571; the sensor-family format and pitch are cross-checked against Sony's IMX571 flyer.

Sensor-level response data is available. Camera filters and windows can change the complete camera response.

Cameras with this sensor family (13)

Color and monochrome versions are listed separately; their curves are not interchangeable.

Source evidence
  • Altair Astro AA26MTEC: Altair's official table lists AA26MTEC alongside the already cataloged AA26CTEC and assigns the model family to IMX571. Manufacturer source
  • OGMAVision (OGMA) AP26MC: Official OGMA product page identifies AP26MC with monochrome Sony IMX571; existing AP26CC remains its color sibling. Refurbished offer status does not change the camera identity. OGMA's linked SharpCap HCG/LCG analysis is electrical camera characterization, not a spectral-response curve. Manufacturer source
  • PlayerOne Astronomy Poseidon-C Pro: Official 2026 cooled camera table identifies Poseidon-C Pro with IMX571 color. Manufacturer source
  • PlayerOne Astronomy Poseidon-M Pro: Official 2026 cooled camera table identifies Poseidon-M Pro with IMX571 mono. Manufacturer source
  • QHYCCD QHY268M-PH: QHY268 product table identifies QHY268M-PH as the monochrome Sony IMX571 camera. Manufacturer source
  • ToupTek Astro ATR2600M: Official ATR2600M page identifies a cooled mono camera using the Sony back-illuminated IMX571; distinct from the already cataloged ATR2600C color body. Manufacturer source
  • ToupTek Astro SkyEye26AC Plus: Official page identifies the color IMX571 SkyEye26AC Plus and pairs it with the mono AM version. Manufacturer source
  • ToupTek Astro SkyEye26AM Plus: Official paired model specification states SkyEye26AM Plus is mono and uses IMX571; APS-C camera-specific active area/resolution is listed separately from the sensor family. Manufacturer source
  • ZWO ASI2600MC Air: The official per-model ZWO manual explicitly separates the Sony IMX571 main imager (color or mono according to the camera variant) and the monochrome SC2210_BW guide sensor. SmartSens identifies SC2210 in its official sensor product list: https://www.smartsenstech.com/products_list .
