Hello,
Is my sensor analysis normal?
Where gain is UNITY gain ?
I followed exact steps as recommended.
Camera ZWO ASI 2600mc pro

Hi,
yes, that's pretty much typical for that camera - that model along with a number of others doesn't have a unity gain because the number of output levels (65536 for a 16 bit ADC) exceeds the full well depth (about 50000e).
If you search on here for 'unity gain' you will find a number of posts where I explain that in my opinion 'unity gain' is not a useful concept when imaging due to the inevitable effects of noise on the measurements.
cheers,
Robin
