The ASI 183 MM Pro Monochrome Cooled USB Camera is ideal for Deep Space Photography.
Monochrome camera sensors are capable of higher detail and sensitivity than is possible with color sensors, but you need additional accessories such as filter wheel and filters for producing colour astrophotography images.

The ASI183MM Pro uses Sony’s IMX183CQJ-J sensor. With a high QE-value and low provides excellent image quality at an affordable price.
Some of the features include:
Why Monochrome?
A monochrome astrophotography camera can collect more signal (light) than a color camera can. (3 times as much, to be exact).
All the Light wells on a camera chip are monochrome. They can’t themselves differentiate between red, green or blue photons.
The Bayer filter array found in a color camera reduces the amount of overall light recorded on your image.
