Yup, that's interesting

Too slow fps. Definitely not interesting thing.

May be of more interest to the SHG guys.....
Where each frame is a final image, we don't have the luxury of stacking to improve the image depth (Yet)

It does 54fps Valery...

The ZWO camera with the IMX174 chip runs nearly 3x faster on USB3. Didn't see a price for the DMK camera on the IS website.

Yes, ZWO's camera is 3x !!!! faster. So, the IS camera is outsider. And I am sure that IS is also more expensive. ZWO also has aGordon Ewen wrote:The ZWO camera with the IMX174 chip runs nearly 3x faster on USB3. Didn't see a price for the DMK camera on the IS website.

cooled ( -35C to ambient) variant ! +$300 however.

I asked TIS what the frame rate would be with an ROI of 1920 x 24 pixel (for SHG applications)
They sent me an example taken at >800fps!
How does that compare with the ASI 174?

I think the ASI174MM might beat that IF the exposure time is short enough. Assuming the data rate is the limiting factor, using linear extrapolation form the frame rate at 640x480 (397 FPS) we get 2,646 FPSMerlin66 wrote:I asked TIS what the frame rate would be with an ROI of 1920 x 24 pixel (for SHG applications)

(370 microsecond exposure time). I get the feeling TIS missed the boat on this one.Re: New DMK with Sony 174 chip

The Basler 1920 can go at more than 1000 fps with AoI

The issue I see with the higher frame rates (for SHG) is getting enough signal, and ending up with both lack of contrast and low SNR.
It's OK when you can stack hundreds of frames to improve the SNR.
What does the histogram of a single frame look like at 1000fps?

We usually have plenty of light in solar imaging. With the HaT and the PST Etalon my exposure is about 3ms at F/D 27.5. That gives room for higher throuput.
In white light it is sub ms.
The IMX174 presents very good performances with full 24db gain.

OK.
Can any ZWO ASI 174 user confirm the frame rates when using a ROI of 1920 x 24 pixel????
I see this as a significant opportunity to develop a high speed SHG based on a nodding mirror scanner. If a frame rate is >500 fps then a scan of 4sec would give a good resolution and a possibility of obtaining >12 complete scans per min. These (as hopefully the solar feature movements would be small in a 1 min time frame (?) would then allow stacking of the individual spectral frames prior to image extraction.)

Can't tell you for the ZWO, but the Basler achieved 2200 fps at this size (with internal 12 bits processing, not 10 bits).

I have to admit to being bias but I think the best IMX174 camera was the first one made with the chip and that is the PGR Grasshopper 3. I have never tried the Basler but I would take a PGR over a ZWO any day. As for IS, all I ever hear about IS cameras is how much noise they generate.....
