ZWO ASI 183MC Pro USB 3.0 Cooled Colour CMOS Camera

The ZWO ASI 183MC Pro is a high-performance colour astrophotography camera designed for capturing breath taking celestial images. Utilizing the advanced Sony IMX183CQJ-J Exmor CMOS sensor, this camera boasts an impressive resolution of 20.2 megapixels with a maximum frame size of 5496 x 3672. Its 2.4μm pixel size ensures exceptional detail and sharpness, making it ideal for deep-sky imaging.

ZWO ASI 183MC Pro Key Features

  • Sensor: Sony IMX183CQJ-J Exmor CMOS, colour sensor with back-illuminated technology.
  • Resolution: 20.2 MP with a pixel size of 2.4μm, enabling high-precision imaging.
  • Cooling System: Two-stage TEC cooling, reducing sensor temperature to 30–40°C below ambient for noise-free images.
  • Quantum Efficiency: Peak QE of 84%, ensuring excellent light sensitivity for faint objects.
  • Data Transfer: USB 3.0 port for fast, reliable data transfer, along with 256MB DDR3 memory buffer for image stability.
  • Compact Build: Sturdy aluminium body with a lightweight design (approximately 400g).

ZWO ASI183MC Pro Astrophotography Applications

The ZWO ASI 183MC Pro is well-suited for deep-sky objects such as nebulae and galaxies, as well as high-detail lunar and planetary imaging. Its low read noise of just 1.6 e and a full well depth of 15 ke ensure vibrant, high-contrast images even in low-light conditions.

The ZWO ASI183MC Pro offers unparalleled performance for astrophotographers looking to capture high-quality images with minimal noise and maximum detail. With its advanced cooling system, premium sensor, and versatile connectivity, it is an excellent choice for both amateurs and professionals.

ZWO ASI 183MC Pro Cooling System

Thanks to the two stage TEC cooling, ZWO ASI 183MC Pro can lower the sensor temperature to more than 35 degrees Celsius below ambient temperature, which can greatly reduce dark current generation and sensor noise even during extended exposure times.

*The Delta T 35℃ is tested at 30℃ ambient temperature. It might get down when the cooling system is working for a long time. Also, as the ambient temperature falls, the Delta T would also decrease. 

Please notice that the camera needs to be connected to an external 11-14v power supply to implement the cooling function. We recommend you use 12V@3A DC adapter (5.5*2.1mm, centre pole positive) or lithium battery with 11-14V to power the camera.
