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). Modern firmware design minimises amplifier glow for maximum performance.
High Speed
Fast FPS can be used when solar and lunar imaging, as well as for live viewing/EAA. The high speed readout can 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 more.

High QE
Sony’s back-illuminated Exmor R technology provides excellent Deep Sky performance. ASI183 QE peak reaches a remarkable 84%. In the Ha channel, QE is still 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 utilises a high percentage of the available light so improving signal quality.
USB Ports
USB 3.0 Port: Provides 5Gb bandwidth making it possible for the ASI183 to run at 19 fps (12bit, normal mode) or 19 fps (10bit, high speed mode) at full resolution (20.18 Meg).
ST4 Port: can be used connect with auto guide port of mount, for guiding.
