2.2 Sony IMX455 Sensitivity
The sensor sensitivity of SkyEye62AM is 435.5mV with 1/30s.The sensitivity is measured with a testing standard lens with CM500S (t = 1.0 mm) as an IR-cut filter and image at F8.0. If the image is measured at F5.6, the result could have been 2 times of the current value.

Figure 2 IMX455 Sensitivity Spectral Characteristic
2.3 16Bit ADC and ROI
The SkyEye62AM has built in 16bit ADC. It also has 12bit output mode for hardware binning and smaller resolution. The camera also supports hardware ROI, and the smaller the ROI size is, the faster frame rate is.

2.4 DDR3 Buffer
SkyEye62AM camera has a 512MB (4Gb) DDR3 buffer, which helps maintain the stability of data transmission, because image data can be temporarily buffered without being sent hastily to the receiver.
2.5 Binning
The SkyEye62AM supports digital binning from 11 to 88 in either stacking or averaging method, and hardware binning from 11 to 33 in averaging method. Hardware pixel binning is much faster than software binning.
2.6 Conversion Gain Switch
SkyEye62AM supports HCG and LCG mode switch. Under LCG mode, the full well can reach 111ke-.
2.7 Power and Cooling System for Precise Temperature Regulation
USB3.0 is used for the camera driving and data transfer.
The cooling system of SkyEye62AM is two-stage Thermoelectric Cooling (TEC) with controllable electric fan assisting heat dissipation. The working temperature can be regulated to specific number, and effective temperature drop can be -35C from ambient temperature. Such efficient cooling system guarantees the stability of ultra-low noise mode and quality of the

4

SkyEye62AM User Manual
camera image. The TEC system is controlled by PID algorithm, which allows the TEC to be precisely regulated towards the target temperature with 0.1C deviation.
2.8 Zero Amp-Glow
The SkyEye62AM has been carefully designed and is able to achieve zero amp-glow photo shooting. Figure 3 and Figure 4 show the different cameras at 20C and 5-minute exposure time with and without amp-glow. One can find that SkyEye62AM camera captured image has zero amp-glow.

Figure 3 Amp-glow.

Figure 4 Zero amp-glow.

2.9 Camera Performance Analysis
Camera performance can be evaluated with e-/ADU, Read Noise, Full Well and Dynamic Range.
e-/ADU: The sensors found in cameras used for vision applications have pixels that convert incoming photons into electrons. Gain on a CCD /CMOS camera represents the conversion factor from electrons (e-) into digital counts, or Analog-Digital Units (ADUs). Gain is expressed as the number of electrons that get converted into a digital number, or electrons per ADU (e-/ADU).
Read Noise: Read Noise is the most important reference to measure the performance of a camera. Lower read noise usually means better SNR and better quality of image. Read Noise is created within the camera electronics during the readout process as the electrons are subjected to the analog to digital conversion, amplification and processing steps that enable an image to be produced.
Full Well: The electrons are held in each pixel and are converted into electrical charge which can be measured to show the amount of light that has fallen on each pixel. The maximum electrical charge possible is termed "full well capacity". Under the same conditions such as noise and A/D converter quality, the greater full well capacity a sensor has, the wider dynamic range the sensor has. As there is a limit to the depth to which pixels can be made, the full well capacity is often proportional to the frontal area of the light gathering element of the pixel.
Dynamic Range is the ratio between the maximum output signal level and the noise floor at minimum signal amplification (noise floor which is the RMS (root mean square) noise level in a black image). The noise floor of the camera contains sensor readout noise, camera processing noise and the dark current shot noise. Dynamic range represents the camera's ability to display/reproduce the brightest and darkest portions of the image and how many variations in between. This is technically intra-scene dynamic range. Within one image there may be a portion that is in complete black and a portion that is completely saturated.
For the SkyEye series camera, the Gain Value is in xxx% mode. Here xxx is used as the x axis (Gain Value) for the description of the camera performance
 () = 20  10[( )/100] ( ) = 100 × 10( ()/20
SkyEye62AM has a significantly low read noise: 0.9 ­ 1.95 e- (Low Noise Mode). It is more impressive that this camera comes with low noise mode, which means users could get even lower readout noise by selecting low noise mode while the frame rate only drops a little as sacrifice.

3.6 Camera Tilt Adjustment

SkyEye62AM has the tilt adjustment ability. There are 3 sets of screws that can be used to tilt the sensor, making it parallel with the telescope, two screws per set for screw in /out.

One can refer to below:

Table 10 Camera Tilt Adjustment

Steps 1 2 3

Operations
Take a starred image with the camera, user can easily find out the tilt part in the image through the software(such as sirilccdinspectorastap), and then adjust one or more sets of flange adjustment screws on the camera corresponding to the imaging result. Take another image after the sensor tilt adjustment, and compare it with the previous one in the software. If the tilt issue is reduced, that means the adjustment is correct. Otherwise, the adjustment is wrong.
Repeat step 2 until the stars in all corners are perfect.

Figure 12 Tilt Adjustment
3.7 Camera Electric Connection with Accessories
On the back side of SkyEye62AM, there are 3 connection ports: DC 12V/3A power port, USB3.0/ USB2.0 port and USBHUB.
Due to the significantly larger power consumption of IMX455, SkyEye62AM (including the cooling system) is now booted up only by 12V/3A power supply. USB3.0 no longer works as a power source but only as a data communication method. The USB-HUB provides connection with other devices, which allows user to avoid the mess of cable management. Once another device is connected through the USB-HUB, it will be connected to PC device through the USB3.0/USB2.0 port.
