Product description

ASI183 has much potential, and each feature means a new posibility! This camera is suitable for a wide range of astronomical application.

The ASI 183 camera series is the most sensitivie cameras in ZWO history. Peak Q.E. of the mono sensor reaches 84%!

Astrophotography Performance

In the astronomic application field, Sony IMX183CLK-J (monochrome) and IMX183CQJ-J (color) sensors uses a very high sensitivity back-illuminated structure with high resolution 2.4 μm square unit pixel. The ASI183 cameras have a very large full well capacity (15000e) for such small pixel size, 1.6e read noise @ 30DB, and 12 stops dynamic range @ Gain=0. The ASI183 cameras also utilize firmware features to minimize amplifier glow for maximum performance in astrophotography.

Sony’s back-illuminated Exmor R technology is giving it excellent Deep Sky performance. ASI183 QE peak reaches a remarkable 84%. In Ha channel, QE is still over 60%. Having high QE means more of the light that enters your telescope and reaches the sensor is actually used. The ASI183 will utilize a high percentage of the light that reaches it, improving your signal quality.

High Speed

Fast FPS can be used in solar and lunar imaging, as well as for live viewing/EAA. 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.

Possible framerates:

10Bit ADC

  • 5496×3672 19fps
  • 3840×2160 41.04fps
  • 1920×1080 80.10fps
  • 1280×720 117.30fps

12bit ADC

  • 5496×3672 19fps
  • 3840×2160 36.12fps
  • 1920×1080 70.48fps
  • 1280×720 103.23fps

ZWO ASI Pro Features:

The ASI Pro cameras include a 256MB DDR3 memory buffer to help improve data transfer reliability. Additionally, the use of a memory buffer minimizes amp-glow, which is caused by the slow transfer speeds when the camera is used with a USB 2.0 port.

ZWO ASI Pro cameras have an improved casing. There are four screws that seal the sensor chamber. Our camera design has been extensively tested and is very stable. Even when used in higher humidity environments, The camera will still work fine without dew problems.

ZWO ASI Pro cameras also contain a 2-stage TEC cooling system that enables deep cooling (40°C-45°C below ambient Temperature). This reduces sensor noise considerably and allowes you to take breathtaking astrophotos.

Cooled ZWO ASI cameras need a 12V power supply, If you don’t have one, please check the recommended accessories for a suitable power adapter.

Colour or mono? Black and white cameras have the advantage of higher sensitivity and resolution than colour cameras. However, more effort is required to obtain a colour image. You also need colour filters and a filter wheel
