Works right out of the box. Was up and shooting in 15 minutes. Good step up from DSI II. Temp regulation helps in dark frame taking. very little hot pixels for this class of sensor.
Product Details
Known as the gold standard in medium resolution cooled astronomy cameras...This Atik 314L+ CCD Camera has a Sony ICX285AL Color Sensor.
The ATIK 314L+ camera is based on the highly successful ATIK 3 platform, which features state-of-the-art technology for supreme performance and ease-of-use. In addition it has full set point temperature regulation to make taking matching dark frames a snap.
Like its brother the ATIK 314E, this camera draws on all the advantages of this popular and highly successful platform. However, the ATIK 314L+ incorporates an exceptional Sony ICX285AL ExView 1391 x 1039 sensor with larger 6.45 micrometer pixels, making it suitable for use on a wide range of telescopes.
Readout noise is typically 4 electrons Read Noise making this an extremely sensitive camera, and data download takes only 1.8s for a full-frame readout, or 0.9s in preview mode. The camera weighs only 400 g (0.88-pounds.)
The highly acclaimed Capture software is included for camera control and data acquisition, and plug-ins are included to allow use with Astroart, CCDSoft, and MaximDL.
System requirements: Pentium II PC with 64MB RAM, Windows 98/XP/Vista, CD-ROM drive, and USB 2.0 port.

About The Sony ICX285AL Interline CCD Chip:
The Sony ICX285AL is a diagonal 11 mm (Type 2/3) interline CCD solid-state image sensor with a square pixel array. High sensitivity and low smear are achieved through the adoption of EXview HAD CCD technology. Progressive scan allows all pixel signals to be output independently within approximately 1/15-second. Also, the adoption of a high frame rate readout mode supports 60 frames per second.
