Personally, I wouldn’t bother swapping it out. There’s always something out there that’s “more, better”, but the 183 is already pretty excellent at what it does. The challenge will be honing your technique. At this stage, I think that’s more important, but it’s your choice of course!

Thank you... I decided to keep my 183, and what you said is correct regarding "Honing my technique" is better get ugly now.. so later one when I decided to get serious I understand the process without cheating (with no-amp glow camera), btw Do I have to make Calibration library?
If I do need to make make calibration library (DARK) for 183 what gains, exposures,temperature that I should focus on.. is that any series/sequence that I need to concentrate... eg. -5, -10, -15 ... gain 0,10,20,70,100,150 and exposure 10 sec, 30sec, 60 sec, 90 secs... etc2?
