ZWO ASI183 Cameras: Can They Compete in 2024 and Beyond?

AgenaAstro Affiliate Link: https://bit.ly/3MiW5LL Video Description: The ASI183 Camera series is renowned for their small pixel sizes, allowing high resolution images to be obtained with small focal length telescopes. The camera features the Sony IMX183 CMOS sensor, a 12-bit sensor packed with just over 20 megapixels! At “unity gain” (1e-/ADU), the camera has a dynamic range of ~11 stops, and a read noise of 2.2 e-. When gain is zero, the dynamic range of the sensor is 12 stops, read noise is 3.0 e- and the full well capacity is 15,000 e-. Overall, the camera performs well when paired with low focal length telescopes, and ZWO also offers the camera with an integrated 5-position filter wheel and deeper cooling abilities (ASI183GT) for those that want a simpler imaging train. Is the camera still relevant in 2024 and beyond? I’ll leave that up to you! AFFILIATE LINKS: This description contains AgenaAstro affiliate links.
