For sale:
Starlight Xpress SVX Large Format Adaptive Optics unit (includes OAG)
Starlight Xpress Lodestar guide camera (first generation)
Fully working condition. There's some corrosion on the four bigger screws on one side of the unit (occurred within a few days of purchase & use). A few dew spots on the glass, which I've never tried to clean (no scratches).
This unit was magic for getting round stars during long exposures - attached are two crops resized to 200% from a 60 minute sub at 1.34''/pixel using an EQ6 mount, STF-8300M camera, 1625 mm scope. These crops were part of my Cat's Paw Nebula mosaic (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13644418/iis/2013-09-01-CatsPawNebulaHa-Rochedale.jpg) that consisted of 86x 60 minute subs using the same gear.
Price: $1,200 + shipping. Please PM me if interested.
