Is the ZWO ASI183 the most well rounded camera!?

THE ZWO ASI183 is one of the most well-rounded cameras on the market. In this week's episode, Rafal breaks down all the reasons why the ASI183 is great for Deep Space, Planetary, Lunar, and Solar. We go in-depth about bit depth, shooting speeds, and pixel size so that you know exactly what you're getting and why it's useful.

Had the 183mc cooled version, while it did take some amazing captures it did suffer from significant amp-glow on midpoint right side edge especially during long exposures. Darks and Flats help but all too often I simply cropped that area out. In the end sold it and moved onto the 533 mc pro and haven't looked back. I do miss the wide format the 183 provided and the Moon shots were impressive. Despite what I consider a drawback with the amp-glow it is a worthwhile camera.

A lot of ppl are using this camera and it certainly very Versatle. It’s great for getting long focal length type images utilizing 800-1000mm setups. The pixel size really puts it in the sweet spot for those focal lengths.

So happy you talked about this camera. It's such a great camera, love my results with it!

Thanks for the good got the 183mc to use with my Celestron Evolution 6 for live view mode on my Samsung S6 tablet for my young grandsons to see bright objects in the night sky. I've ordered an ASIAIR Plus and an EAF (requires a printed adapter for 6" sct) to run the scope inside our home. Amazing tech in the last few years! Thanks, Michael

Anyone try the new ASI 585MC for deep sky, only 8mp but v.low noise and zero amp glow? Expecting a cooled version to come out soon.

[andelkoloncar]

There's a new kid on the block ASI ZWO 585. Any testing and opinion on that one, seems very good since, as claimed, no amp glow!? Other than that great videos, keep them coming!

I've used the 183 mc pro for over a year now and have taken many amazing images with it.

I have a celestar 8hd with a wedge. I want to get into astrophotography. Can you tell me what I need to set it up. Camera, etc etc.

[frankskeen]

I have this camera, I am going to use it with the ZWO ASIAIR PLUS mounted on my HEQ5PRO with an Explorer Scientific 102 edt triplet. Hoping for good results, the camera specs match up well with this scopes focal ratio and I have used Stellarium to gather objects to photograph that should fill or almost fill the frame. Wish me luck...

Great Video - Thoughts on using the non-cooled, color version with the Micro Four Thirds version of the Rokinon 135mm lens? From what I understand - with this setup using the ZWO T2-M43 adapter - I wouldn't be able to use any filters. If I want to use it for Deep Space Objects - would the non-cooled, color version be a useable option?

Thanks for sharing this. I just got a ASI 183 pro and wanted to use a laptop with Stellarium to run my Skywatcher GTI mount and the ASI 183. Do I need a Rasberry pi also? Thanks, Mike

Hello. What about ASI178MC or ASI485MC (or an other one at the same indicative price) for beginning astrophoto of planets, deep sky ... with a limited budget (~ 400/500 $) for a general use with a Newton 200 F/D 5 ? Thanks for your advices.

[SD-xbyv]

would this work well with an 8" SCT - would love to hear your thoughts - thanks in advance 🙂

What would you use for astroguiding, I already got the above great camera 🤗

[iphoneawesome]

Does anyone know of a reason for this pro camera's usb hub to stop working? It was fine when i first got it and then it randomly stopped working. Powered and unpowered.

[jamesw]

Do other versions of these ZWO cameras have the ability to increase the frames per second by dropping resolution (for planetary), or is it just the ASI183?

[fredmercury]

Would this pair well to a Celestron Evo 8?

[boodlewoodle]

One thing that I find very frustrating is that reviews hardly ever show the images that this camera can produce specs are great but I really want to see some images so I can see for myself what it can do

[ryanmj]

Could you review the 178??? Please???

[Me-texq]

Is the ASI183mc pro better or the qhyccd183c?
