IMX 183M for Ca and WL imaging?

Post by torsinadoc »

I know there are reported issues with Ha (grid pattern). Has anyone used the 183 for Calcium, WL imaging? Its a sensitive sensor and may be a decent choice for FD imaging (100/900 ED)

Heya,

All my recent CaK full discs were done with an IMX178 sensor. No problems.

The guys at ZWO have admitted there's issues with 178/183 with respect to sub-angstrom HA and a grid showing up. Some people see it in their images. Some don't.

The 290 sensors are another option if you want to avoid any potential issues.

Very best,
