Due to the pixel size of only 2.4 µm, the resolution of this camera is sensational. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eOne of the outstanding features of the ASI183 is the sensational light sensitivity. It has a QE of 84%, due to the Back Illumination technology, and the very low amplifier glow make the camera very well suited for all astronomical applications, but above all for deep-sky astrophotography.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis \"single shot\" color camera offers several advantages compared with monochrome cameras. Many imagers prefer not to follow through the laborious L-RGB technique for beautiful colored nebula or planetary images. Color cameras offer a the chance to obtain beautiful images in fewer sessions and without having to constantly change filters. Compared to a standard DSLR camera, the ASI183MC offers much higher light sensitivity, a smoother image and much more depth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eAdditional Features:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eUSB 3.0 for quick download - can also be used with USB 2.0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eDDR3 memory buffer to help improve data transfer reliability.

By cooling down the camera up to 45°C below ambient, the already low levels of noise can be further reduced. By increasing gain (like the ISO setting of DSLR cameras), you can also reduce exposure times to below 30 seconds if necessary\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSolar, lunar and planetary images: Extremely short exposure times (due to high sensitivity) freeze the seeing. Through the high resolution of the sensor, many details can be reproduced even at shorter focal length.
