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 15.86mm 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. 10 bit ADC 5496×3672 19fps3840×2160 41.04fps1920×1080 80.10fps1280×720 117.30fps 12 bit 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.   Specifications diagram:   Technical details: Sensor: 1″ CMOS IMX183CLK-J/CQJ-JDiagonal: 15.9mmResolution: 20.18Mega Pixels 5496*3672Pixel Size: 2.4μmBayer Pattern: RGGBShutter:Rolling shutterExposure Range: 32µs-2000sROI: SupportedST4 Guider Port: YesRead Noise: 1.6e @30db gainQE peak: 84%Full well: 15keADC:12bitInterface: USB3.0/USB2.0Adaptor: 2″ / 1.25″ / M42X0.75Dimension: φ62mm X 36mmWeight: 120g or 4.2 ounces (without lens)Working Temperature: -5°C—45°CStorage Temperature: -20°C—60°CWorking Relative Humidity: 20%—80%Storage Relative Humidity: 20%—95%Max FPS at full resolution:10Bit ADC5496×3672 19fps3840×2160 41.04fps1920×1080 80.10fps1280×720 117.30fps640×480 169.92fps320×240 308.17fps12bit ADC5496×3672 19fps3840×2160 36.12fps1920×1080 70.48fps1280×720 103.23fps640×480 149.53fps320×240 271.19fps     About ZWO Optical Astrophotography has never been easier.
