The ZWO ASI183MC Pro is a thermoelectrically cooled one-shot color astronomical camera. It belongs to a group of the most sensitive cameras ZWO has ever offered. They incorporate a back-illuminated Sony IMX183 CMOS sensor with 20.18 MP resolution and a 5496 x 3672 pixel array. These cameras have an exceptionally large full well capacity (15000e) despite a tiny 2.4 µm pixel size, as well as 1.6e read noise @ 30db, and 12 stops dynamic range @ gain=0. They also make use of firmware components to reduce amplifier glow for peak astrophotography performance.
