I have the Altair version of the 183C (uncooled), I can use it for DSO and have very successfully. (See my first light thread)
The lunar and planetary frame rates are also fantastic. The major thing that often holds this new generation of cameras back is the USB3 cable length and chipset of the computer they are connected to.
My camera was supplied with a 1M very high quality USB3 cable, it struggled when I had to use and extension to allow for safe slewing of my scope.
I solved this by getting a Micro PC to mount on the dovetail. I can now capture at 4000FPS quite stably with a 30cm USB3 cable.
The frame rates can be so high that you can use a static tripod for Lunar and then stack the frames even with the offset and get remarkable definition.
