For Sale: Sbig ST-10XME, CFW10, LRGB Ha(x2), SII OIII New Even Lower price
Hi All,
I have just purchased an STL-11000, so my trusty ST-10XME has to go.
This is a wonderful camera, I have had much success with it, will post some pics of it and some of the astrophotos taken with it later.
It comes with a CFW10, loaded with LRGB and four narrowband filters. The Narrowband filters are 13nm filters so they will be useful for fast scopes as well as slow ones. One of the Ha filters has a much smaller bandpass.
The ST-10 has worked flawlessly for the last several years. It does frost up from time to time, I think the front gasket leaks a little, I have tried to get another from Peter Ward, but looks like I'll have to get it from SBig. It's a minor issue, the desiccant lasts for months before needing a recharge. I have fitted the Particle Wave desiccant accessory, which takes small packets of molecular sieves for a quick change in the field. These packs of molecular sieves are rechargeable in a microwave oven.
This is the new model camera with the remote guide port, I have used this for running my AOL.
The ST-10 has the highest QE of any of the SBig range of cameras, it was a tough decision to go for more chip real estate vs the trade off in sensitivity. The camera comes with all the usual stuff from SBig, including CCDSoft etc.
System cost new would be over $7k. I'll be looking for $4000 for the system. Email me if you're interested.
Cheers
Stuart
