ZWO ASI183MM USB3.0 Monochrome Camera – The Most Sensitive Camera for Astrophotography

Introducing the ZWO ASI183MM Monochrome Camera, one of the most sensitive cameras in the ZWO lineup, perfect for advanced astrophotography. With an impressive 84% peak Quantum Efficiency (QE), 20.18MP resolution, and extremely low 1.6e read noise, this camera is designed to capture breathtaking details of deep sky objects, galaxies, nebulae, and more.

Incredible Imaging Power with the Sony IMX183CLK-J Sensor

The Sony IMX183CLK-J monochrome sensor delivers exceptional sensitivity and resolution for astrophotography. Its 1-inch optical format and back-illuminated structure ensure high sensitivity, capturing more light from faint celestial objects. The small 2.4μm pixel size allows for high-resolution imaging, making this camera ideal for smaller objects such as planetary nebulae and distant galaxies.

Astrophotography Performance – Perfect for Deep Sky Imaging

With a full well capacity of 15000e, the ASI183MM is designed to handle large dynamic ranges, minimizing overexposure while capturing intricate details in both bright and faint regions of your images. The camera’s low read noise of 1.6e at 30dB gain ensures minimal noise interference during long exposures, delivering clear and sharp images even in challenging low-light conditions.

Rolling Shutter Technology with High Frame Rates

The ASI183MM uses rolling shutter technology, offering a high-speed frame rate of 19 FPS at full 20.18MP resolution. This makes it suitable not only for deep-sky imaging but also for capturing high-resolution planetary images. The 12 stops of dynamic range at Gain=0 ensure that you capture every detail, from the darkest shadows to the brightest highlights.

Key Features of the ZWO ASI183MM:

  • Sensor: 1-inch CMOS IMX183 (Monochrome)
  • Resolution: 20.18 MP (5496 x 3672)
  • Pixel Size: 2.4μm – Perfect for high-resolution imaging
  • Full Well Capacity: 15000e – Captures a wide dynamic range

Introducing the ASI183 camera series, the most sensitivie cameras in ZWO history. Peak Q.E. of the mono sensor reaches 84%!

Diagonal 15.86 mm Approx. 20.48M-Effective Pixel Monochrome/Colour CMOS Image Sensor

IMX183CQJ-4K-Sensor

▶High-Speed and High-Picture-Quality Rolling Shutter-Type Back-Illuminated CMOS Image Sensors

In the astronomic application field, Sony IMX183CLK-J (monochrome) and IMX183CQJ-J (colour) sensors uses 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 amplifier glow for maximum performance in astrophotography.

High Speed

Fast FPS can be used in solar(white light) 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.

Notice: depends on user’s feedback, this IMX183 sensor has grid pattern noise when do Ha solar imaging,  please take flat frame for calibration(out of focus or add a barlow lens to take flat frames). We recommend our ASI1600/ASI174 mono camera for Ha solar imaging.

High QE

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 a over 60%.

Having high QE means more of the light that enters your telescope and reaches the sensor is actually used. With 84% peak Q.E. and no less than ~50% within the visible spectrum, the ASI183 will utilize a high percentage of the light that reaches it, improving your signal quality.
