Hi Guys,

I have just found a ST2000 XCM on astromart for $1850 + $350 shipping via UPS.

(1) The seller has lots of feedback so I am reasonably confident the transaction will be OK.

(2) The serial number of the camera is 20502994XCM so it is a reasonably new one, but without the external guide port. However I will be the 3rd owner.

(3) All up it will cost me a bit more than a new QHY8, so what do you guys think, a 2nd hand SBIG or a new QHY8.

(4) Also, will i need to use my 0.8 reducer on my TV85 given the size of the SBIG chip and if so does anyone know what is required to fit the TV 0.8 reducer to the SBIG. Currently it just screws into the standard canon T ring i got from Bintel.

Any thoughts very welcome and appreciated

Paul
