Selling this with all the attachments you see and the original box. Recently bought as part of a bundle from fellow IIS member.
You can pick the original 2m cable OR the aftermarket 50cm one (great if using as a guide scope or OAG).
Full transparency.
I'm selling as I'm struggling to get it to work consistently and concurrently with my imaging camera. I purchased it for guiding and when my main camera is connected and imaging, this one drops frames and is unsuitable for tracking - there's a bunch of forums on it, some have got it working and others haven't. I don't have the time or patience to waste another night troubleshooting so looking to sell it dirt cheap and buy the USB 3 version.
In saying that, I have had 1/4 successful nights with it where it perfectly functioned as a guide scope for a whole night.
Notes:
1. It is the old USB 2.0 version. Not the new mini OR the USB 3.0 (asi120mm-s) version.
2. It's also pretty old and has a bunch of hot pixels. Would absolutely need a dark library.
3. It can be stable when no other camera is connected (first, cheap, planetary scope?).
4. These older ones are notoriously unstable so you'd want to be comfortable with things like drivers and firmware updates.
$75 plus shipping or pick up from 2140 NSW. It's cheap as depending on your technical expertise and what you need it for, it may not serve its purpose. But if it does then it's a bit of a bargain.
