Frequency band:

Telescope specifications

Telescope aperture:

mm

Telescope focal length:

mm

Obstruction (area-related):

%

Camera specifications

Pixel size:

µm

Quantum efficiency:

%

Gain:

e^-/ADU

ISO:

Note on quantum efficiency:

For color cameras (OSC), an additional 10% must be subtracted from the data sheet value due to the Bayer matrix.
The data sheet specifications usually only apply to the pure chip.

Total exposure time of all single shots:
