ZWO ASI 183MM PRO COOLED Monochrome 4/3" CMOS USB3.0 Deep Sky Imager Camera

The ZWO ASI 183MM PRO offers exceptional astrophotography potential with an 84% QE peak, 20.18 megapixels resolution, and a full well capacity of 15,000e. With a low read noise of 1.6e and the ability to capture images at 19 FPS at full resolution, this camera opens up new possibilities for deep-sky imaging.

ZWO ASI 183MM PRO Introducing the ASI183 Camera Series

The ASI183 series represents the most sensitive cameras in ZWO's line up, featuring a peak quantum efficiency of 84%. Designed for compatibility with small, fast ED doublets or triplet apochromats, this camera excels in short exposure times.

High-Speed and High-Quality Imaging

Utilizing the Sony IMX183 sensor, the ZWO ASI 183MM PRO  cameras feature a back-illuminated structure with a high resolution of 2.4 μm square pixels. The optical size is 1 inch, with a diagonal measurement of 15.86mm.

DDR Memory Buffer

The ZWO ASI 183MM PRO includes a 256MB DDR3 memory buffer that enhances data transfer reliability and minimizes amp-glow, especially when used with a USB 2.0 port.

Astrophotography Performance

With a large full well capacity of 15,000e and only 1.6e read noise, the ASI183 provides exceptional performance. It features firmware enhancements to minimize amplifier glow, optimizing it for astrophotography.

Reliable Mechanics

The ASI183 Pro maintains the same robust mechanical construction as the ASI1600 Pro, ensuring durability and reliability even in high humidity environments.

High Speed for Various Applications

Fast frame rates make the ASI183 ideal for solar and lunar imaging, live viewing, and EAA. The high-speed readout enables real-time focusing and lucky imaging for double stars and planetary imaging.

ZWO ASI 183MM PRO High Quantum Efficiency

Thanks to Sony’s back-illuminated Exmor R technology, the ASI183 achieves an outstanding peak QE of 84%, effectively utilizing light to improve signal quality, even in the Ha channel where it remains above 60%.

USB 3.0 Port & USB 2.0 HUB

USB 3.0 Port: Provides 5Gb bandwidth for smooth operation at 19 FPS (12-bit normal mode) or 19 FPS (10-bit high speed) at full resolution.

USB 2.0 HUB: Connect various accessories like filter wheels and guide cameras for better cable management. The ASI183 Pro includes two short USB 2.0 cables, with the hub powered by an external source.
