ZWO ASI 183MC Color: 20 megapixel detail for deep-sky and moon<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The ASI183MC brings serious resolution to astrophotography with a color camera: the Sony IMX183 sensor delivers 5496 x 3672 pixels, for a total of 20.18 megapixels. Back-illuminated technology and a quantum efficiency of 84% ensure that even faint nebulae and galaxies are within reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The small 2.4-micrometer pixels sample fine detail at short to medium focal lengths. Without active cooling, the camera remains light and ready for immediate use: connect via USB 3.0 and shoot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Resolution as an asset<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With 20 megapixels, you capture large objects such as the Orion Nebula or the crescent moon with room to crop. On fast optics (f\/4 to f\/6), the small pixels come into their own best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the moon and planets, 19 fps at full resolution captures enough frames for stacking; via ROI crops, the speed increases further.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Honest advice about the sensor<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The IMX183 is known for visible amp glow during longer exposures. That is not a defect but a sensor characteristic, and completely correctable with dark frames. Anyone who does not want that calibration step should look at a modern glow-free sensor such as the one in the ASI533MC Pro or ASI585MC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ST-4 port also allows the camera to be used as a guider if desired.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
