ATIK 383L+ sensor type

[ccdastroimager]

I have an ATIK 383L+ (monochrome) and i can't find what's the exact model of the sensor. I know that the sensor model is KAF-8300, but what exact model KAF-8300-AXC, KAF-8300-CE? I'm asking for this to find the exact model of the sensor to find out the QE of it. I've searched in manuals and in the internet nut i didn't find anything.

Good point.

I'd also be interested in hearing what the value for this camera is.

I'd also be interested for SkyTools Pro 3 parameters.

Did anyone get an answer on this?
I have just sent the following to "support@atikcameras.com" to get this information for my spectrometry.  I will post if/when I get a response.

Hi,
I have an monochrome Atik 383L+ (serial number 1850864856) and I know it has the Kodak KAF-8300 sensor in it.
I have a diffraction grating and want to start bright star spectroscopy and so I need to know two things:
1)    How the sensor's quantum efficiency varies with wavelength.
2)    The wavelength response of the BBAR coated quartz optical window.

The quartz itself should be more-or-less flat response over the VIS-IR wavelengths but the BBAR coating may have an effect.

Can you please say what type of coating the 383L+ has?  I might hope it is something like the BBAR 633-1064 from CVI Melles Griot, with a wide transmission well matched to the 383L+;

I have found several graphs for the quantum efficiency of the KAF-8300 as a function of wavelength but which one I should choose depends upon the following:
1)    Whether the KAF-8300 has a microlens or not.
2)    Whether the KAF-8300 cover glass has its own AR coating or not.

Can you send me the information I need please?  An electronic format such as a .CSV file or Excel file would be ideal, but I can work from a printed graph if I have to.

Alternatively if you can tell me the exact part number for the sensor I can approach Truesense Imaging directly.  My guess is that the sensor is one of KAF-8300-AAB-CB, KAF-8300-AXC-CP, or KAF-8300-AXC-CD.

Thanks for your help,
Howard Shaw.
