I noticed on SBIG's website yesterday that they've stopped production of the CFW-8 :(
While I might never have bought one, I always intended to, it was always close to the top of the list. But now I won't be able to, and the new CFW-9 isn't compatable with my ST7 :(
I saw someone on AstroMart selling a second hand one for US$700, when SBIG was selling them for US$580 last I looked. I guess that rules out the second hand market too.
Oh well, chances are I would've never got around to buying one. I guess now the ST7 is destined to become a guide camera, with a new camera with new CFW being the imaging camera. When I win lotto :)
I thought it might be useful for others to know the CFW-8 had stopped production.
