Description

Introducing the ASI 183MC camera, featuring the Sony IMX183 chip. This back-illuminated one-shot color design provides an astonishing 84% quantum efficiency on the CMOS style chip. The total area of the chips is 4/3" format allowing for smaller filters to be used without vignetting. However thanks to the 2.4 micron pixel size, this chip boasts 20 mega-pixels of resolution. This camera is ideal for wide-field deep sky astrophotography without undersampling.

With a peak QE of 84% (mono), 20.18Mega pixels, 15000e full well, 1.6e read noise, and 19FPS at full resolution the ASI 183MC is the most sensitive ZWO camera yet!

The 183MC has a diagonal measurement of 15.86mm with an Approx. 20.48M-Effective Pixel Monochrome/Color CMOS Image Sensor

Stella ★★★★★

I’ve been testing the ASI183MC for a few nights, and that back-illuminated sensor really pulls in faint nebula detail I missed with my previous camera. The 84% quantum efficiency seems to cut exposure times noticeably.

Olivia ★★★★★

The quantum efficiency on this color camera is genuinely impressive, getting clear captures even in dim conditions with the back-illuminated chip. It's a big improvement over my previous model for astrophotography.

Scarlett ★★★★★

After struggling with noise in my older camera, the back-illuminated sensor on this one is a game changer—my deep-sky shots came out way cleaner. The one-shot color design also saves me so much time not swapping filters.
