QHY 183c - one shot colour camera

[tgnielsen]

Looking to sell my QHY183C camera. Is a great camera especially for those starting in astrophotography. I’ve had it for about 18 months and it hasn’t missed a beat. I’ve also had some great shots take with my C6 hyperstar setup. It remains in great condition with its original box and accessories..

Happy to either meet in person (Brisbane) or to mail it.

$800

Hi
How are you ? Hope u are good.
Is price negotiable then the listed price

[tgnielsen]

Well thanks. I bought the camera for over double what I’m asking so keen to stick to a min of $700.

One last stab at $650. After that it goes back in the kit bag. Just a reminder that it’s an actively cooled 20mp one shot colour camera. I’m only looking to move it on because I now have an apsc sized camera.

Hi,
Looking at your QHY 183c just now,
I am new to Astro cameras.
I have only briefly started using a Canon 60D with my old Vixen refractor ED80 600mm focal and am looking move into a proper Astro camera soonish.

Would your camera be a good match?:):):)

A quick reply for Trevor:

I dropped the camera and telescope into the 'CCD Suitability calculator' (see https://astronomy.tools/calculators/ccd_suitability) and it came up as OK.

Just be warned that the '183 devices can be a bit tricky to get working properly (optimal gain / offset / temperature) and you'll need to use calibration frames (especially darks) to get the best out of it.

Cheers,
V.
