ZWO ASI 178MC-Cooled color 6.4Mp. Pics added

Most likely a regretful sale But here it is:

My ASI 178 cooled color 6.4Mp camera with very tiny pixels of only 2.4um. awesome for planets when seeing is optimal..
Its not even 18months old; Used on a couple of dozen nights for planets only, each night would have done approx a dozen video captures between 30secs to 2 minutes.

It has been ultra reliable & never had a problem running with the Fire-Capture prog. It has never been 'tampered' with, still very clean all through, & window filter is also spotless, as all my gear is.
It is USB3 super fast, I have had it running at 230fps @ 14bit ADC while set at 320 x 250 pixels using my 12" Meade SCT @ prime focus & that ROI (Region of Interest) filled with Saturn.

Link to this camera on the Zwo page :

The cooling ability is very good aswell, upto -35 to -40 deg below ambient. it is also equipped with a Guiding port.

Edited: Have added correct cable's Etc and added pics in below reply !

After the exchange rate for the price on ZWO's webpage of $699 at the time was converted to 1,099aus 'so 1100 even
I'd like to ask $800 for it, that's near 30% less if New

Pics added, and updated details :

The camera kit comes in its original cardboard box.
Has the USB3 lead, Guide Lead & the Power supply transformer Lead which plugs straight into 240V

Also the software disc, I havent used as I downloaded 'FireCapture'

There is also 4 desiccant tablets, a moisture tester & a small cleaning cloth with a solution all still in a sealed foil bag, which I have not yet opened, it is all still completely sealed
