The ZWO ASI183MC Pro is a cooled color astronomy camera with small pixels for resolving fine details in deep sky astrophotography, lunar and solar imaging, and electronically-assisted astronomy (EAA). At its heart is the highly acclaimed Sony IMX183 CMOS sensor, featuring 20.18-megapixel resolution, 2.4-micron pixel size, and back-illuminated architecture for maximum light-gathering efficiency. The integrated TEC cooling reduces sensor temperature to 40-45°C below ambient to enable low-noise imaging of fainter deep-sky objects, with fast USB3.0 transfer at up to 19 fps at maximum resolution. With a peak quantum efficiency of over 84%, this means more photons are effectively converted into electronic signals, reducing the need for long exposure times and improving signal-to-noise ratios, even when imaging fainter targets.
