ASi 224 sensitivity

Hopefully a straightforward question.

I have both the ASI 224 which I currently use for planetary and I've been experimenting with an Astro Video Systems DSO1 for near real time viewing - it uses a Sony ICX 810 chip with a reported 'sensitivity' of 2350. (typical exposures here are between 4 and 16 seconds)

Question is - what is the equivalent sensitivity of the 224 - I'm thinking of using it to replace the DSO1 so that I can avoid having video capture devices in the image train.

thanks in advance

The 'sensitivity' of imx224 is 2350mv too, 1/30s exposure

224 is the most sensitive color sensor in the world

Sam,

that's great - it means I can just use the ASI224 for EAA and put the DSO-1 to use as an electronic finder.

I've already taken a few test images with the 224 @ 2, 4,5 and 6 seconds (50 - 100 frames each) of a number of DSOs - the usual suspects - M57, M27, Blinking Planetary, M56, M15 - looking good.

Thanks

Neil
