Getting a ZWO ASI 183MM Pro as an entry point to mono astrophotography in 2026
Hello,
I have the opportunity to snag a ZWO ASI183MM Pro and a set of SVBONY SV227 SHO filters for the price of $700 AUD ($500 USD) and was wondering if coming up from imaging on a DSLR it would be a worthwhile camera to use.
I am sure that I'd eventually like to image in mono so I am not afraid of learning the workflow of narrowband imaging. I also live in a light polluted area so would prefer SHO imaging rather than LRGB/OSC to combat light pollution.
I know the specs of the 183 are out dated compared to the IMX533 sensors (amp glow, well depth, etc...), however would it still be a good camera capable of producing quality images in 2026?
Just looking to get some opinions before biting the bullet as the deal sounds pretty good considering I am on a budget.
Cheers
