ZWO ASI183MC CMOS Camera

The 183MC is a one shot color camera with a 20.18Megapixel CMOS sensor. This one is the uncooled "planetary" version of the camera.
The 1" back illuminated Sony IMX183 sensor has a 5496x3672 array of 2.4μm pixels.
I purchased this camera for a project I've been thinking about for several years. I have a Celestron 5-1/2" Schmidt Camera from the 1970's that uses cut pieces of 35mm film mounted in a special film holder to capture images. These film "chips" have to be developed by hand to get a final image as either a negative or a slide. I want to replace the film holder with this CMOS camera to create a "digital" Schmidt. More info on this project will be available over on its project page as work is completed.
