SBIG STF-8300 arrived - yeah baby

Well after a very long wait my new toy finaly arrived.



I was surprised to find that the Pro package came with a large professional Pelican case that takes the camera fully assembled plus leads and accessoriers. Very nice touch. (see 2nd last pic)

Intalled unmounted 36mm filters, filter wheel and OAG last night plus got software working.

This is a very well made and put together package. The OAG is a VERY high quality unit and the design of how it mates to STF camera is very sturdy.

Enough words. Here are some pics. Not very good ones but will have to do for now.

I only have 48mm adaptors to connect this to my telescopes s I expect a little vignetting. Need to order an STF faceplate.

Will update when I get a first light.
