Introducing the ASI183 camera series, the most sensitivie cameras in ZWO history. Peak Q.E. of the mono sensor reaches 84%!     Sensor:  The ASI183MC is ZWO's most sensitive camera to date which is made possible due to a back iluminated sensor. It comes with a IMX183CLK-J/CQJ-J sensor. It has a diagonal of 15.86 mm and an approximately 20.48M-Effective Pixel Monochrome/Color CMOS Image Sensor   High-Speed and High-Picture-Quality Rolling Shutter-Type Back-Illuminated CMOS Image Sensors: The ASI183 uses Sony's IMX183CLK-J (monochrome) and IMX183CQJ-J (color) sensors which has a very high sensitivity back-illuminated structure with high resolution 2.4 μm square unit pixel. The optical size is 1 inch. Astrophotography performance: The ASI183 cameras has a very large full well capacity (15000e) for such small pixel size, 1.6e read noise @ 30DB, and 12stops dynamic range @ Gain=0. The ASI183 cameras also utilize firmware features to minimize amp-glow for maximum performance in astrophotography.     High Speed:  The camera's fast FPS is ideal for both solar (white light) and lunar imaging. as well as for live viewing/EAA (electronically assisted astronomy).The high speed readout may also be used for real-time focusing, true lucky imaging of double stars (and other small objects), planetary imaging of the major planets in the solar system, and much more. *Note: Some users find that this IMX183 sensor might have some grid pattern noise when do Ha solar imaging,  hence please take the flat frame for calibration(add a barlow lens to take flat frames). We recommend the ASI1600/ASI174 mono camera for Ha solar imaging.   10Bit ADC5496×3672 19fps3840×2160 41.04fps1920×1080 80.10fps1280×720 117.30fps 12bit ADC 5496×3672 19fps3840×2160 36.12fps1920×1080 70.48fps1280×720 103.23fps   High QE: The camera uses Sony’s back-illuminated Exmor R technology, giving it excellent deep sky performance. ASI183 QE peak reaches a remarkable 84%. In Ha channel, QE is still over 60%. A high QE means that the majority of the light that enters your telescope and reaches the sensor is actually used. With 84% peak Q.E. and no less than approximately 50% within the visible spectrum, the ASI183 will utilize a high percentage of the light that reaches it, significantly improving your signal quality.     USB 3.0 Port & ST4 Port: USB 3.0 Port: Provide 5Gb bandwidth to make it possible for ASI183 to run at 19 fps (12bit, normal mode) or 19 fps (10bit, high speed mode) at full resolution(20.18Mega)ST4 Port: Can be used connect with auto guide port of mount, for guiding.   Mechanical Diagram:     About ZWO Optical Astrophotography has never been easier.

They focus on building and innovating ground-breaking CMOS cameras such as the iconic ZWO ASI120MM Monochrome CMOS camera (the first-ever planetary CMOS camera to beat a CCD in the early 2010s). ZWO continues to pioneer new astrophotography technology with revolutionary features to capture exceptional quality of images of space that will last you a lifetime.
