Here's a chance for a seriously good camera at a seriously good price.
It's my Apogee Alta U8300 and it's in great nick. Takes lovely images and has cooling capacity I don't even use. It's been serviced by Apogee and the sensor chamber resealed as well. So it's in top shape.
Here is a 5 minute dark from my current stack - taken at -20C.
Also some images - a colour and a Ha of the NGC2020 region. You can see it's doing fine.
I bought it with a TrueTech SlimLine FW and that still comes with it but with the addition of a 5-position 2"mounted carousel to go with the standard one which has 4 positions and a masked off one for doing darks etc. But the Apogee doesn't need it because it has a mechanical shutter anyway. The manufacturer of these has closed up shop so I'm including this at a very minor cost of $200 on top of the $2000 for the camera. Postage extra. No splitting please.
I'll be selling the filters separately.
Both the camera and the FW need a 12 VDC supply which I currently provide off a MountHub Pro (not included) so you'll need to source your own power supply although I suspect most of us have these things climbing out of the proverbial wazoo.
The usual cables are included of course.
By PM please and no silly offers. This is good gear and a good price.
