Does the ASI2600 Pro use the Sony IMX571BQR-C or the Sony IMX571BQR-J? As I understand it the C is a consumer version and the J is an industrial version. Also could you comment on the reasons for selecting one or the other?
Thank you.
It’s the consumer version. It was stated here in the forums by ZWO tech a while back when it came out.
Kring Does anyone know what's the difference between consumer and industrial version? Something like working temperature range or related to the image quality (e.g. number of defect pixel)?
dickson Does anyone know what's the difference between consumer and industrial version?

Chips are usually graded as Commercial (lowest grade), Industrial, and Military Grade. In addition, the Military Grades can also be Space Qualified (better alpha particle survival, etc).
