ZWO ASI183MM

Monochrome astronomical camera for astronomical imaging and compatible mounts.

Usage and Selection of the Mounting Method

The monochrome version captures light without a color matrix. To create a color image, plan to take images with the appropriate filters and combine them during processing. It also allows you to work with narrowband filters depending on the target. For short-exposure acquisitions, the effective frame rate depends on the readout mode, the selected area, and the actual data throughput of the computer. Pixel size must be considered in relation to the focal length and turbulence conditions. Before assembly, check the thread, the distance between the sensor and the adapter, and the space occupied by the filters or the optical splitter. The sensor alone does not determine the final field of view: the instrument, the focal length, and any reducers also play a role. Take your calibration images using settings consistent with those used for observations. An astronomical camera provides no protection for solar observation: any use on the Sun requires a filter specifically designed for the instrument and installed correctly.
