The ZWO ASI183MC-Pro: High-Performance Astrophotography Camera
The ZWO ASI183MC-Pro offers excellent astrophotography potential with an 84% QE peak, 20.18 megapixels resolution, 15000e full well capacity, and 1.6e read noise. With 19 FPS at full resolution, it’s ideal for capturing high-quality images of the night sky.
This camera is not a replacement for the ASI1600 series but excels when paired with small, fast ED doublet or triplet apochromatic, achromatic, or fast Newtonian telescopes (f/4, f/5). Its features are optimized for shorter exposure times, making it perfect for astrophotographers seeking precision and speed.
Introducing the ZWO ASI183 Camera Series
The ASI183 series represents the most sensitive cameras in ZWO’s lineup, featuring a peak Q.E. of 84%. The mono version delivers unmatched sensitivity, while the color version offers vibrant image captures, both benefiting from high-speed and high-quality rolling shutter sensors.
DDR Memory Buffer for Reliable Data Transfer
The ASI183 Pro includes a 256MB DDR3 memory buffer to improve data transfer reliability and reduce amp glow, ensuring top performance even when using USB 2.0 ports. The memory buffer is a key difference between ASI “Cool” and “Pro” cameras.
Astrophotography Performance
Featuring 15000e full well capacity and 1.6e read noise, the ASI183 delivers stunning astrophotography results. Its 12 stops of dynamic range at Gain=0 make it a reliable choice for capturing deep-sky objects with exceptional clarity.
High-Speed Imaging for Solar and Lunar Photography
With fast FPS rates (19 FPS at full resolution), this camera is perfect for solar, lunar, and planetary imaging. The high-speed readout also enables real-time focusing, lucky imaging, and more. Its compatibility with Exmor R technology enhances deep-sky imaging performance.
High Quantum Efficiency
With Sony’s Exmor R back-illuminated technology, the ASI183 achieves a peak Q.E. of 84%, ensuring more light captured for better signal quality. It maintains high quantum efficiency across the visible spectrum, improving imaging in deep-sky conditions.
What’s Included in the Box?
The ASI183 package includes all necessary cables, adapters, and manuals. Please note that a 12V power adapter is required for cooled camera operation.
