Explore fine detail in galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters with the ToupTek ATR183C. Built around Sony's back-illuminated IMX183 color sensor, it combines 20MP resolution with 2.4 μm pixels and low readout noise for clean, detailed deep-sky images. A 512MB DDR3 buffer and two-stage TEC cooling support stable long-exposure capture, while high frame rate modes and hardware ROI extend its versatility to planetary, lunar, and solar imaging. With one-shot color capture, the ATR183C delivers a streamlined workflow for astrophotographers who value convenience without sacrificing resolution.
The Sony IMX183 back-illuminated color sensor delivers 20MP resolution with 2.4 μm square pixels, offering a strong balance of fine detail, sensitivity, and readout speed for deep-sky, planetary, lunar, and solar imaging.
With an integrated Bayer color filter array, the ATR183C captures full-color images in a single exposure without requiring a filter wheel. This makes it well suited to astrophotographers who value convenience, portability, and simpler image acquisition, while still supporting detailed color deep-sky photography.
The Sony IMX183 sensor delivers peak quantum efficiency above 80%, helping capture incoming light efficiently across a range of astronomical targets. Combined with low readout noise of 1.4–2.6 e⁻, this makes the ATR183C well suited to faint deep-sky objects and high-resolution planetary work.
If your primary interest is deep-sky imaging, the ATR183C's 20MP resolution and 2.4 μm pixels resolve fine structure in galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters. Two-stage TEC cooling and low readout noise support long exposures with minimal thermal noise, while the 512MB DDR3 buffer maintains stable data transmission during extended imaging sessions.
The ATR183C also supports high-speed capture for planetary, lunar, and solar imaging. Hardware ROI and 8-bit mode increase frame rate by reducing the readout area, making it easier to collect large frame sequences for stacking and processing. Always use appropriate solar safety equipment for solar observations.
With one-shot color capture, the ATR183C eliminates the need for a filter wheel and separate color channel acquisition. This makes it a convenient choice for mobile imagers, beginners, and anyone seeking high-quality color results with minimal post-processing, while still offering the resolution and cooling needed for serious deep-sky work.
The built-in 512MB (4Gb) DDR3 buffer maintains stable data transmission, reduces USB transfer bottlenecks, and helps minimize amp-glow by buffering image data before it reaches the receiver—supporting a stable workflow for both long-exposure and high-speed imaging.
The ATR series optical window features an integrated smart heating system that actively measures ambient temperature and humidity. It automatically applies precise heat to prevent condensation, keeping your optical path crystal clear without introducing disruptive thermal air currents.
Equipped with an integrated heat dissipation structure and a high-efficiency dual-stage Thermoelectric Cooling (TEC) module with a controllable fan. It lowers the sensor temperature to 45°C below ambient, consistently maintaining a stable -5°C to -10°C even in peak summer. This allows for clean, long-exposure tracking up to 1 hour without thermal noise accumulation.
The Sony IMX183 back-illuminated color sensor offers strong sensitivity across the visible spectrum, with peak quantum efficiency above 80%. Its broad response supports deep-sky, planetary, lunar, and solar imaging, with the added convenience of one-shot color capture for natural color rendering.
Which Series Do You Need
The ATR series features versatile sensors ranging from 1/1.2” up to APS-C (e.g., ATR585, ATR2600) to offer a balanced mix of performance and flexibility, whereas the flagship SkyEye Plus series incorporates APC-S (e.g., SkyEye26AM/AC Plus) and full-frame sensors (e.g., SkyEye62AM/AC Plus) to maximize light-gathering area and deliver expansive, uncropped fields of view.
Choose the acquisition workflow that matches your imaging goals
One-shot Color (OSC) cameras streamline your workflow by capturing full-color images without a filter wheel, offering a fast and travel-friendly setup that is perfect for astrophotography beginners, mobile imagers, or anyone seeking high-quality results with minimal post-processing.
Monochrome (Mono) cameras, however, deliver superior photon efficiency and pixel-level sharpness by eliminating the light loss and resolution interpolation of a Bayer matrix. Mono imaging is tailored for dedicated deep-sky astrophotographers who demand maximum sensitivity, ultimate narrowband performance (Hα, OIII, SII), and full control over composite LRGB rendering under any sky condition.
Yes. The ATR series cameras connect with accessories through USB data connection and stable external power, allowing users to build a complete deep-sky imaging workflow with a telescope, mount, guide camera, computer or controller, and power supply.
Yes. All ToupTek Astro DSO cooled cameras require a regulated 12V 3A DC power supply for imaging. Please use the included factory power adapter or a high-quality lithium-ion battery with a stable 11V–14V output.
Yes. The ATR series features robust, industry-standard ASCOM and INDI drivers. It integrates seamlessly with all major open-source and commercial astronomy suites.
Achieving the industry-standard 55mm backfocus is precise and seamless. The optical train is configured via a modular three-stage connection sequence: a 17.5mm front adapter or tilter, a 20mm filter drawer or extension tube, and a 17.5mm Off-Axis Guider (OAG). This combination yields a perfect 55mm stack distance that connects natively to M48, M54, and M68 telescope interfaces, with simple adapter options available for M42 threads and 2-inch ports.
The ATR series utilizes a multi-layer defense system. The sensor chamber is industrially sealed with dry air to prevent internal frost. Simultaneously, a built-in electronic heating strip warms the protective window to prevent external dew under humid summer nights.
