I have ordered a larger camera and unfortunately I have to sell my Trius to part fund the purchase. I'd rather keep it to be honest as its a great little camera. This has the enhanced cooling so I get -20C all year round except perhaps the very hottest nights and -25C in winter. The sensor is very clean, no lines, no clusters of hot pixels. A dark is generally all you need in processing most images. I sometimes use flats but that's if I get a little bit of vignetting (the scope not the camera).
Starlight Express Trius 694 (original owner about a year and a half or so old)
in perfect working order. I drilled and tapped a few small holes in one of the cooling fins to be able to fit an adapter but its done neatly and when mounted you can't even see them. It does not affect the camera in any way.
The camera has enhanced cooling, has 3 port usb hub (very handy, you only need 1 usb cable from the camera to the computer and plug all your accessories into the hub with short USB cables). CCD chamber is filled with Argon and it does not dew up or frost.
Its extremely light so very little flexure pressure on your imaging train.
New these are US$2795 plus US$120 shipping + AUD$350 GST= approximately $4,300. I'd take AUD$3000.
Mini USB filter wheel with 36mm filter carousel (no filters) with OAG.
I never used this and is as new except again I widened and tapped 2 of the screw holes on the front plate to enable attaching an adapter plate. It just means a different sized screw in 2 of the 4 holes. Otherwise its brand new has the 36mm filter holder (usually its the 1.25 inch filter holder which may be too small a filter on some scopes).
New these are US$425 + Shipping US$90 = AUD $695
I would take AUD$400.
SX AO unit (the smaller AO unit not the large format one, also marketed as atuiable for QSI cameras). I bought this 2nd hand and did not end up using it as I really need the large format one for my large sensor camera. It has the OAG unit as well with a new not used OAG part (when I bought it that part was missing but I happened to have a spare SX OAG unit which is new and unused)
New these are US$1295 (mine has serial ports not the later model USB port, comes with all cables, adapters etc) + US$125 shipping + AUD$225 GST = AUD$2,144
I'd take AUD$1,250.
I can post photos.
